Metaphors are much more tenacious than facts.

Intellectual and moral growth is no less indispensable than material improvement. Knowledge is a viaticum. Though is a prime necessity; truth is nourishment, like wheat. A reasoning faculty, deprived of knowledge and wisdom, pines away. We should feel the same pity for minds that do not eat as for stomachs. If there be anything sadder than a body perishing for want of bread, it is a mind dying of hunger for lack of light. All progress tends toward the solution. Some day, people will be amazed. As the human race ascends, the deepest layers will naturally emerge from the zone of distress. The effacement of wretchedness will be effected by a simple elevation level.

Karl Popper

As a kid who wasn't into sports, at school I felt almost alienated at times, whereas in the theatre community there was this amazing sense of camaraderie. Early on, we would go to rehearsals with my dad and I was like the mascot for the backstage crew. That was a big part of my childhood, so I dreamed of one day doing a play in London.

Zach Braff

If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

Oscar Wilde

I want kids of this generation to see that everything is cool, that there's some kind of unity in hip-hop. We all found something that's really important to us, and music is all we've really got.

Missy Elliot

Every drop in the ocean counts.

Yoko Ono

Glance into the world just as though time were gone: and everything crooked will become straight to you.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Of my two handicaps, being female put many more obstacles in my path than being black.

Shirley Chisholm

It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.

Winston Churchill
