Man is insatiable for power; he is infantile in his desires and, always discontented with what he has, loves only what he has not. People complain of the despotism of princes; they ought to complain of the despotism of man.

Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book.

Victor Hugo

It is disappointing and embarrassing to the science profession that some Nobel Laureates would deliberately use their well deserved scientific reputations and hold themselves out as experts in other fields.

David Douglass

If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.

Dalai Lama XIV

If there is sin against life, it consists in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.

Albert Camus

People stress the violence. That's the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there's a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There's a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies strewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there's a satisfaction to the game that can't be duplicated. There's a harmony.

Don DeLillo

I was not looking for my dreams to interpret my life, but rather for my life to interpret my dreams.

Susan Sontag

Authentic Love - When you truly love another human being, you extend to them the dignity of risk. Love them without fear and embrace them without restrictions. Accept them without wanting them to change to your ideas of their person-hood. Watch them evolve and grow into the realization of their own potential. There comes a time when you recognize they need to journey on without you. Love them enough to let them go. Bless them and release them.

Julie Hardesty

Everybody thinks making films back to back is a big deal but they did it all the time in the old days.

Clint Eastwood

For too much rest becomes a pain.

Homer

Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you, but I will instruct you in the good and right way. I Samuel 12:23

Bible

To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival.

Wendell Berry

If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.

Niccolo Machiavelli
