Many a revolution started with the actions of a few. Only 56 men signed the Declaration of Independence. A few hanging together can lead a nation to change.

O, for an engine, to keep back all clocks, or make the sun forget his motion!

Ben Jonson

...when I see you, I see mystery - a pale moon's beauty behind a veil of cloud...

John Geddes

You see, I had been riding with the storm clouds, and had come to earth as rain, and it was drought that I had killed with the power that the Six Grandfathers gave me.

Black Elk

Edward Hopper

Grace under pressure

Ernest Hemingway

Frank Sinatra

I don't believe society understands what happens when everything is available, knowable and recorded by everyone all the time.

Eric Schmidt

Friedrich Hayek

What people had had shed and left--a pair of shoes, a shooting cap, some faded skirts and coats in wardrobes--those alone kept the human shape and in the emptiness indicated how once they were filled and animated; how once hands were busy with hooks and buttons; how once the looking-glass had held a face; had held a world hollowed out in which a figure turned, a hand flashed, the door opened, in came children rushing and tumbling; and went out again. Now, day after day, light turned, like a flower reflected in water, its sharp image on the wall opposite. Only the shadows of the trees, flourishing in the wind, made obeisance on the wall, and for a moment darkened the pool in which light reflected itself; or birds, flying, made a soft spot flutter slowly across the bedroom floor.

Virginia Woolf
