John Green

Adventure upon all the tickets in the lottery, and you lose for certain; and the greater the number of your tickets the nearer your approach to this certainty.

Adam Smith

Gratitude -- the meanest and most sniveling attribute in the world.

Dorothy Parker

Being aware is being aware of one's own mind and the games it plays on itself.

Robin Macnaughton

I think that's what distinguishes Schmidt, really. In the movies now, so much of what is appealing to an audience is the dramatic or has to do with science fiction, and Schmidt is simply human. There's no melodrama there's no device, It's just about a human being.

Jack Nicholson

A man who is good enough to go to heaven is not good enough to be a clergyman.

Samuel Johnson

In the fourth grade, my history teacher gave us a project: Why was the auto industry located in Detroit, Michigan?

Mark Zandi

Silent acquiescence in the face of tyranny is no better than outright agreement.

C.J. Redwine

Thus I began my systematic though half-bewildered tour of Innsmouth's narrow, shadow-blighted ways. Crossing the bridge and turning toward the roar of the lower falls, I passed close to the Marsh refinery, which seemed to be oddly free from the noise of industry. The building stood on the steep river bluff near a bridge and an open confluence of streets which I took to be the earliest civic center, displaced after the Revolution by the present Town Square.

H.P. (Howard Phillips) Lovecraft

Doubt is the father of invention.

Galileo Galilei

The fact is, many people do not know how treat themselves and are experts at putting themselves down. In fact, if most of us were in a relationship with ourselves, we would break up with us, given how badly we treat ourselves.

Ramani Durvasula

Everybody in this life has their challenges and difficulties. That is part of our mortal test. The reason for some of these trials cannot be readily understood except on the basis of faith and hope because there is often a larger purpose which we do not always understand. Peace comes through hope.
