A man is known by the books he reads.

Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.

Albert Camus

Sometimes you are in the middle of your destiny before you even know it has begun.

Sarah Holman

We are not saints, but we have kept our appointment. How many people can boast as much?

Samuel Beckett

Pleasure itself is not a vice

Samuel Johnson

Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth.

Aesop

Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with super-heroes. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie.

Rita Rudner

The next war... may well bury Western civilization forever.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Seldom can philosophic genius be more usefully employed than in thus rescuing admitted truths from the neglect caused by the very circumstance of their universal admission.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Most prayers are not really questions...and if we listen very closely, a prayer is often its own answer. ...We pray because we are here - not to change the world, but to change ourselves. Because it is when we change ourselves...that the world is changed.

Douglas Wood

To me, we must learn to spell the word RESPECT. We must respect the rights and properties of our fellowman. And then learn to play the game of life, as well as the game of athletics, according to the rules of society. If you can take that and put it into practice in the community in which you live, then, to me you have won the greatest championship.

Jesse Owens

At no time is freedom of speech more precious than when a man hits his thumb with a hammer.

Marshall Lumsden

We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.

Lloyd Alexander
