At moments of departure and a change of life, people capable of reflecting on their actions usually get into a serious state of mind. At these moments they usually take stock of the past and make plans for the future.

The wrongdoer is more unfortunate than the man wronged.

Democritus

These are strange times. Reason, which once combatted faith and seemed to have conquered it, now has to look to faith to save it from dissolution.

Johan Huizinga

Crabbed and obscure definitions are of no use beyond a narrow circle of students, of whom probably every one has a pet one of his own.

Frederick Pollock

What I find cool about being a banned author is this: I'm writing books that evoke a reaction, books that, if dropped in a lake, go down not with a whimper but a splash.

Lauren Myracle

Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things.

Joe Paterno

The Establishment Clause prohibits government from making adherence to a religion relevant in any way to a person's standing in the political community.

Sandra Day O'Connor

Truth may sometimes hurt but delusion harms.

Vanna Bonta

All life is an experiment. The more experiments yoiu make the better.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

So let man consider of what he was created; he was created of gushing water issuing between the loins and the breast-bones.

Qur'an

There are men so incorrigibly lazy that no inducement that you can offer will tempt them to work; so eaten up by vice that virtue is abhorrent to them, and so inveterately dishonest that theft is to them a master passion. When a human being has reached that stage, there is only one course that can be rationally pursued. Sorrowfully, but remorselessly, it must be recognized that he has become lunatic, morally demented, incapable of self-government, and that upon him, therefore, must be passed the sentence of permanent seclusion from a world in which he is not fit to be at large.

William Booth

But you know, I have a pretty good relationship with the press and the paparazzi. It's just when they step over the line that, you know, enough's enough.

Elton John

I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.

Stephen Fry
