If we are merely matter intricately assembled, is this really demeaning? If there's nothing here but atoms, does that make us less or does that make matter more?

Others indeed may talk, and write, and fight about liberty, and make an outward pretence to it but the free-thinker alone is truly free.

George Berkeley

But love is blind, and lovers cannot see The pretty follies that themselves commit, For if they could, Cupid himself would blush To see me thus transformed to a boy

William Shakespeare

I would rather not be engaged. When people are engaged, they begin to think of being married soon, and I should like everything to go on for a long while just as it is.

George Eliot

I've come to realize that protecting freedom of choice in our everyday lives is essential to maintaining a healthy civil society.

George McGovern

I have an everyday religion that works for me. Love yourself first, and everything else falls into line.

Lucille Ball

The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. The trite subjects of human efforts, possessions, outward success, luxury have always seemed to me contemptible.

Albert Einstein

I had started my love affair with Wimbledon.

John Newcombe

Without a doubt, the best way to get to know me is through my music.

Shania Twain

I have never spent a day in my adult life where I didn't learn something, and if there is a born-again quality to me, that's it.

Peter Jennings

I have an immense appetite for solitude, like an infant for sleep, and if I don't get enough for this year, I shall cry all the next.

Henry David Thoreau

When I was in Paris, all of the German refugees began to flow in and it was a very sad time.

Elliott Carter

Who were the fools who spread the story that brute force cannot kill ideas? Nothing is easier. And once they are dead they are no more than corpses.

Simone Weil
