Nothing is more noble than politeness, and nothing more ridiculous than ceremony.

Yo no soy tan fuerte. A mi me importa que me entiendan. Hay personas a quienes quiero comprender y quiero que me comprendan. Hasta cierto punto, pienso que es inevitable que el resto de la gnete no lo haga. Ya me he hecho a la idea. Así que no me ocurre lo mismo que a Nagasawa, a quien no le importa que no le entiendan.

Haruki Murakami

Hermione was screaming again: the sound went through Harry like physical pain.

J.K. Rowling

In the vain laughter of folly, wisdom hears half its applause.

George Eliot

Every burden is a blessing.

Robert H. Schuller

If you have patience, then you'll also have love. Patience leads to love. If you forcefully open the petals of a bud, you won't be able to enjoy its beauty and fragrance. Only when it blossoms by following its natural course, will the beauty and fragrance of a flower unfold.

Mata Amritanandamayi

If a man like Malcolm X could change and repudiate racism, if I myself and other former Muslims can change, if young whites can change, then there is hope for America.

Eldridge Cleaver

Seattle is for people who love culture, but refuse to sacrifice their wild nature to attain it.

Kimberly Kinrade

I don't care what people say. My music's, my music.

Enrique Iglesias

As for charity, it is a matter in which the immediate effect on the persons directly concerned, and the ultimate consequence to the general good, are apt to be at complete war with one another.

John Stuart Mill

Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect and passion in their operation.

John Ruskin

The appeal of the New Right is simply that it seems to promise that nothing will change in the domestic realm. People are terrified of change there, because it's the last humanizing force left in society, and they think, correctly, that it must be retained.

Gerda Lerner

I've always really been into science, and in the last five years I've gotten into theoretical physics and the origins of the universe.

Adam Pascal
