Nine-tenths of the people were created so you would want to be with the other tenth.

You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.

Alan Watts

Seeking what is true is not seeking what is desirable.

Albert Camus

There is no doubt that many expensive national projects may add to our prestige or serve science. But none of them must take precedence over human needs. As long as Congress does not revise its priorities, our crisis is not just material, it is a crisis of the spirit.

Nelson Rockefeller

It is the story I hoped to tell. It is the story that lies around the edges of the photograph, or at the end of the newspaper account. It's about the lies we tell others to protect them, and about the lies we tell ourselves in order not to acknowledge what we can't bear: that we are alive, for instance, and eating lunch, while bombs are falling, and refugees are crammed into camps, and the news come toward us every hour of the day. And what, in the end, do we do?

Sarah Blake

I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love.

Tina Turner

The Roots of Violence: Wealth without work, Pleasure without conscience, Knowledge without character, Commerce without morality, Science without humanity, Worship without sacrifice, Politics without principles

Mahatma Gandhi

Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself.

Soren Kierkegaard

Some dog I got too. We call him Egypt because he leaves a pyramid in every room.

Rodney Dangerfield

Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change.

Bertrand Russell

Love is not a feeling. Love is an action, an activity. . .Genuine love implies commitment and the exercise of wisdom. . . . love as the will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth.....true love is an act of will that often transcends ephemeral feelings of love or cathexis, it is correct to say, 'Love is as love does'.

M Scott Peck

Our fathers valued change for the sake of its results; we value it in the act.

Alice Meynell

I tell people I'm too stupid to know what's impossible. I have ridiculously large dreams, and half the time they come true.

Debi Thomas
