There is nothing the matter with Americans except their ideals. The real American is all right; it is the ideal American who is all wrong.

I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved.

George Eliot

I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings.

Albert Einstein

Hear Everything and judge for yourself

George Eliot

Always this same morbid interest in other people and their doings, their privacies, their dirty linen, always this air of alertness for personal happenings, personalities, personalities, personalities. Always this subtle criticism and appraisal of other people, this analysis of other people's motives. If anatomy presupposes a corpse, then psychology presupposes a world of corpses. Personalities, which means personal criticism and analysis, presuppose a whole world laboratory of human psyches waiting to be vivisected. If you cut a thing up, of course it will smell. Hence, nothing raises such an infernal stink, at last, as human psychology.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

Nothing is more unjust or capricious than public opinion.

William Hazlitt

I'm concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet.

Joan Jett

Our loyalties must transend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation and this means we must develop a world perspective.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.

Carl Sagan

There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won't remember and that she can't even let herself think about because that's when the birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it's always raining a slow and endless drizzle.You will hear that she has left the country, that there was a gift she wanted you to have, but it is lost before it reaches you. Late one night the telephone will sign, and a voice that might be hers will say something that you cannot interpret before the connection crackles and is broken.Several years later, from a taxi, you will see someone in a doorway who looks like her, but she will be gone by the time you persuade the driver to stop. You will never see her again. Whenever it rains you will think of her.

Neil Gaiman

I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7

Bible

When I was born in 1970 with a rare genetic disorder called spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SED), medical science wasn't what it is today and my mum and dad were treated terribly by the medical profession.

Warwick Davis

Slumps are like a soft bed. They're easy to get into and hard to get out of.
