A man's house burns down. The smoking wreckage represents only a ruined home that was dear through years of use and pleasant associations. By and by, as the days and weeks go on, first he misses this, then that, then the other thing. And when he casts about for it he finds that it was in that house. Always it is an essential -- there was but one of its kind. It cannot be replaced. It was in that house. It is irrevocably lost. It will be years before the tale of lost essentials is complete, and not till then can he truly know the magnitude of his disaster.

It is commonly said and known that each civilization has its own religion. Now my claim is that if we look deeper, the different civilizations were brought into being by the different revelations.

Huston Smith

Coolness and absence of heat and haste indicate fine qualities

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Baltasar Gracian

He stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking.

Leo Tolstoy

The harder I work the more I live.

George Bernard Shaw

I never told my own religion nor scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another's creed. I am satisfied that yours must be an excellent religion to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be judged.

Thomas Jefferson

This is the team. We're trying to go to the moon. If you can't put someone up, please don't put them down.

NASA

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.

Ray Bradbury

In thy foul throat thou liest.

William Shakespeare

I don't do what I'm told, but I might do what you want if you ask me nicely.

Cassandra Clare

Mozda se nijedna druga vrsta intimnosti ne moze uporediti sa dva polgeda koja se susrecu sa istom sigurnoscu i odlucnoscu i jednostavnoscu odbijaju da se puste.

Jostein Gaarder

I'd love to have First Lady Michelle Obama over and ask, 'How do you make your marriage work?' I think the president is sexy as all get-out, but he has got to get on her nerves some kind of way. He's this wonderful, powerful man, but she sees him leaving his socks on the floor.
