You must be a prophet right enough, said Alvin Junior, cause I can't understand a thing you said.

The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still.

Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves.

Richard P. Feynman

For nature is an image of Grace, and visible miracles are images of the invisible.

Blaise Pascal

Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long-wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.

George Eliot

How pathetically scanty my self-knowledge is compared with, say, my knowledge of my room. There is no such thing as observation of the inner world, as there is of the outer world.

Franz Kafka

One of the things that ultimately led me to leave mathematics and go into political science was thinking I could prevent nuclear war.

Paul Wolfowitz

Anthony Storr

I like books whose virtue is all drawn together in a page or two. I like sentences that don't budge though armies cross them.

Virginia Woolf

Patience makes a woman beautiful in middle age.

Elliot Paul

Boys are capital fellows in their own way, among their mates; but they are unwholesome companions for grown people.

Charles Lamb

Like any good tree that one would hope to grow, we must set our roots deep into the ground so that what is real will prosper in the Light of Love.

Billy Corgan

To find out your real opinion of someone, judge the impression you have when you first see a letter from them.

Arthur Schopenhauer
