I am monarch of all I survey,

Flirting I take to be the excitement of love, without its reality, and without its ordinary result in marriage.

Anthony Trollope

One summer night, out on a flat headland, all but surrounded by the waters of the bay, the horizons were remote and distant rims on the edge of space. Millions of stars blazed in darkness, and on the far shore a few lights burned in cottages. Otherwise there was no reminder of human life. My companion and I were alone with the stars: the misty river of the Milky Way flowing across the sky, the patterns of the constellations standing out bright and clear, a blazing planet low on the horizon. It occurred to me that if this were a sight that could be seen only once in a century, this little headland would be thronged with spectators. But it can be seen many scores of nights in any year, and so the lights burned in the cottages and the inhabitants probably gave not a thought to the beauty overhead; and because they could see it almost any night, perhaps they never will.

Rachel Carson

My parents had this relationship that was really terrifying. I mean, the level of hatred that they had, and the level of physical abuse - my mother would beat up my father, basically - and I think I was drawn to images on television that were bright and reflective.

Augusten Burroughs

We ought to fly away from earth to heaven as quickly as we can; and to fly away is to become like God, as far as this is possible; and to become like him is to become holy, just, and wise.

Plato

When we are born, we cry, that we are come To this great stage of fools.

William Shakespeare

Without winners, there wouldn't even be any civilization.

'Robopocalypse' explores the intertwined fates of regular people who face a future filled with murderous machines. It follows them as humanity foments the robot uprising, fails to recognize the coming storm, and then is rocked to the core by methodical, crippling attacks.

Daniel H. Wilson

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.

Mother Theresa

There is nothing in the world more powerful than an idea. No weapon can destroy it; no power can conquer it except the power of another idea.

James R. Smith

Mechanics is the paradise of the mathematical sciences because by means of it one comes to the fruits of mathematics.

Leonardo da Vinci

As a main ingredient to the show, it has to have truth, represent truth, or else it won't last.
