“Nothing is more fruitful for man than the knowledge of his own shortcomings.”

We, therefore, here in Britain stand shoulder to shoulder with our American friends in this hour of tragedy, and we, like them, will not rest until this evil is driven from our world.

Brian Sandoval

It's funny that I got to do 'On the Road' because the thing that had the biggest impact on me growing up was reading books. I was very inspired by the book and this spirit of Dean Moriarty and how envious we all are of somebody who can be that carefree.

Garrett Hedlund

You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but now, as yet, intelligent enough.

Aldous Huxley

If I have not seen as far as others, it is because there were giants standing on my shoulders.

Harold Abelson

With the exception of capitalism, there is nothing so revolting as revolution

George Bernard Shaw

The funniest memory that I can recall about my school days has to be one incident that involved unfinished homework for numerous days. I didn't do any of my homework for days and days at a stretch, and kept stalling my teacher that I was extremely unwell and was under heavy medication.

Marcel Proust

Quit worrying about your health. It will go away.

Robert Orben

In a world where there is so much to be done, I felt strongly impressed that there must be something for me to do.

Dorothy Dix

Imagine a civilisation that's way in advance of us wants to communicate with us, and assist us in our development. The information we provide to them must reflect our highest aspirations and ideals, and not just be some crazy person's bizarre politics or religion.

Paul Davies

What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
