Because we have for millenia made moral, aesthetic, religious demands on the world, looked upon it with blind desire, passion or fear, and abandoned ourselves to the bad habits of illogical thinking, this world has gradually become so marvelously variegated, frightful, meaningful, soulful, it has acquired color - but we have been the colorists: it is the human intellect that has made appearances appear and transported its erroneous basic conceptions into things.

People who have not done their research on me do not know that I am European, born in Copenhagen, Denmark to an Italian father from Napoli and a mother from Alabama who was singing opera and went to Europe, met my dad, fell in love, and then moved back to Rome, where I was raised, between Rome and Hamburg.

Daniel Goleman

There is no need for false solidity when you are at peace with the universal expanse of your true Being.

Michael A. Singer

No one is ever going to give you something that they're too afraid to even claim for themselves. People don't know themselves, so they don't like to see other people figure it out and live their lives in ways that they themselves cannot. So they try to box you in, and limit you, so they don't feel inadequate. But you don't need their approval- the only person who ever, ever limits you is yourself.

Mayim Bialik

The quality of life is more important than life itself.

Alexis Carrel

The love for work needs to be re-enthroned in our lives. Every family should have a plan for work that touches the life of each family member so that this eternal principle will be ingrained in their lives.

M. Russell Ballard

I was reading a book... 'the history of glue' - I couldn't put it down.

Tim Vine

When I come home, my daughter will run to the door and give me a big hug, and everything that's happened that day just melts away.

Hugh Jackman

We do not learn by inference and deduction and the application of mathematics to philosophy, but by direct intercourse and sympathy.

Richard M. Nixon

But human beings are like that, she thought. We've replaced nearly all our emotions with fear.

Paulo Coelho
