Oh, heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.

O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou hast no name to be known by, let us call thee devil.

William Shakespeare

The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth then hold no opinion for or against. The struggle of what one likes and what one dislikes is the disease of the mind.

Sengcan

You are pooped and demoralized. Why wouldn't you be? Of course it is exhausting, having to reason all the time in a universe which wasn't meant to be reasonable.

Kurt Vonnegut

Concentrate, play your game, and don't be afraid to win.

Amy Strum Alcott

A life of kindness is the primary meaning of divine worship.

Emanuel Swedenborg

Dream delivers us to dream and there is no end to illusion.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.

Audrey Hepburn

We're not trying to reinvent the wheel for any environmental organization to claim sole responsibility for any kind of victory is insane, because everybody attacks these problems as a group.

Ted Danson

The anarchist and the Christian have a common origin.

Friedrich Nietzsche

There are no forbidden questions in science, no matters too sensitive or delicate to be probed, no sacred truths.

Carl Sagan

The art world is an all-volunteer force. No one has to be here if he or she doesn't want to be, and we should be associating with anyone we want to.

Jerry Saltz

Your old virginity is like one of our French withered pears: it looks ill, it eats dryly.

William Shakespeare
