There are so many ways to heal. Arrogance may have a place in technology, but not in healing. I need to get out of my own way if I am to heal.

Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but primarily by catchwords.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Each thought is a nail that is driven In structures that cannot decay; And the mansion at last will be given To us as we build it each day.

George Eliot

If it weren't for marriage, men and women would have to fight with total strangers.

Source Unknown

He who knows self as the enjoyer of the honey from the flowers of the senses, ever present within, ruler of time, goes beyond fear. For this self is supreme!

Veda Upanishads

God forbid that India should ever take to industrialism after the manner of the west... keeping the world in chains. If [our nation] took to similar economic exploitation, it would strip the world bare like locusts.

Mahatma Gandhi

Indeed, I would feel that an appreciation of the arts in a conscious, disciplined way might help one to do science better.

Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar

Society is commonly too cheap. We meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire any new value for each other.We meet at meals three times a day, and give each other a new taste of that musty old cheese that we are. We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable and that we need not come to open war. We meet at the post office, and at the sociable, and at the fireside every night; we live thick and are in each other's way, and stumble over one another, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another.

Henry David Thoreau

What drew me to politics in the first place was the fact that I wanted to have a place to take a stand and use my voice to express what I believed in. But I've no longer got any political aspirations. I feel that as a politician, fifty per cent of people would hate you before you even left the house.

Jon Bon Jovi

I've been working on Barb for a while. I looked at her as a sort of every woman. She's incredibly strong she's incredibly generous. She's seemingly insane because she is in the situation of a polygamous relationship, but she had definite reasons to do it.

Jeanne Tripplehorn

Ever since Comte first set the agenda of social science, his megalomania lingers on in sociology, political science, and other disciplines.

Thomas Flanagan

Patriotism having become one of our topicks, Johnson suddenly uttered, in a strong determined tone, an apophthegm, at which many will start Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. But let it be considered that he did not mean a real and generous love of our country, but that pretended patriotism which so many, in all ages and countries, have made a cloak of self interest.

Samuel Johnson

You can practice to attain knowledge, but you can't practice to attain wisdom.

Herbie Hancock
