Many have been the wise speeches of fools, though not so many as the foolish speeches of wise men.

Man's mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain.

John Calvin

The prosperity of right is that it is always beautiful and pure.

Victor Hugo

No monster vibration, no snake universe hallucinations. Many tiny jeweled violet flowers along the path of a living brook that looked like Blake's illustration for a canal in grassy Eden: huge Pacific watery shore, Orlovsky dancing naked like Shiva long-haired before giant green waves, titanic cliffs that Wordsworth mentioned in his own Sublime, great yellow sun veiled with mist hanging over the planet's oceanic horizon. No harm.

Allen Ginsberg

My friends! There are no friends

Aristotle

How great, my friends, is the virtue of living upon a little!

Horace

When people reject a truth or an untruth it is not because it is a truth or an untruth that they reject it. No, if it isn't in accord with their beliefs in the first place they simply say, Nothing doing, and refuse to inspect it.

Ogden Nash

It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little.

Diogenes

Experience teaches only the teachable.

Aldous Huxley

I could have been an architect, but I don't think I'd have been very happy. Nearly all modern architecture is a silly game as far as I can see.

Roger Waters

The chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chess-board, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem... I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.

Marcel Duchamp

You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.

Galileo Galilei

What use is revelation or religion if it doesnt change anything?
