Nothing in the entire universe ever perishes, believe me, but things vary, and adopt a new form. The phrase being born is used for beginning to be something different from what one was before, while dying means ceasing to be the same. Though this thing may pass into that, and that into this, yet the sums of things remains unchanged.

Words can be like baseball bats when used maliciously.

Sidney Madwed

love one another, but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Kahlil Gibran

If you're an old pro, you know how well you're doing when you're doing it, and your inner government spanks you if you're not doing well.

Jerry Lewis

He that bringeth a present findeth the door open.

Thomas Fuller

'Tis not the many oaths that make the truth; But the plain single vow, that is vow'd true.

William Shakespeare

Here's my advice to you: don't marry until you can tell yourself that you've done all you could, and until you've stopped loving the women you've chosen, until you see her clearly, otherwise you'll be cruelly and irremediably mistaken. Marry when you're old and good for nothing...Otherwise all that's good and lofty in you will be lost.

Leo Tolstoy

Noble deeds that are concealed are most esteemed.

Blaise Pascal

It is easier to love humanity as a whole than to love one's neighbor.

Eric Hoffer

Lifestyles and sex roles are passed from parents to children as inexorably as blue eyes or small feet.

Letty Cottin Pogrebin

Here's what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in a state of denial, about to face cold turkey. And like so many addicts about to face cold turkey, our leaders are now committing violent crimes to get what little is left of what we're hooked on.

Kurt Vonnegut

For if it is rash to walk into a lion's den unarmed, rash to navigate the Atlantic in a rowing boat, rash to stand on one foot on top of St. Paul's, it is still more rash to go home alone with a poet.

Virginia Woolf

Science is always wrong, it never solves a problem without creating ten more.

George Bernard Shaw
