Nothing is lost yet, nothing broken,and yet the cold blue word is spoken:say goodbye now to the Sun,the days of love and leaves are done.

The truth, indeed, is something that mankind, for some mysterious reason, instinctively dislikes. Every man who tries to tell it is unpopular, and even when, by the sheer strength of his case, he prevails, he is put down as a scoundrel.

H. L. Mencken

I ran into Isosceles. He had a great idea for a new triangle!

Woody Allen

And last are the few whose delight is in meditation and understanding; who yearn not for goods, nor for victory, but for knowledge; who leave both market and battlefield to lose themselves in the quiet clarity of secluded thought; whose will is a light rather than a fire, whose haven is not power but truth: these are the men of wisdom, who stand aside unused by the world.

Will Durant

I have the body of an eighteen year old. I keep it in the fridge.

Spike Milligan

A thing is not necessarily true because badly uttered, nor false because spoken magnificently.

Saint Augustine of Hippo

Fire is to represent truth because it destroys all sophistry and lies; and the mask is for lying and falsehood which conceal truth.

Leonardo da Vinci

We have war when at least one of the parties to a conflict wants something more than it wants peace.

Jeane Kirkpatrick

Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it because it gives any challenge or any occupation a new meaning, no matter how frightening or difficult. Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity but with it you can accomplish miracles.

Og Mandino

Tears are the symbol of the inability of the soul to restrain its emotion and retain its self command.

Henri Frederic Amiel

If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong. I do not say give them up, for they may be all you have; but conceal them like a vice, lest they should spoil the lives of better and simpler people.

Robert Louis Stevenson

I went whole hog at the actor's lifestyle - really embraced it. I had by then known how much I loved acting already, because I discovered acting from a teacher in the seminary - that's the first place I ever did it, in the seminary.

Peter Jurasik

It is not the literal past, the facts of history, that shape us, but images of the past embodied in language.
