Is no one inspired by our present picture of the universe? Our poets do not write about it; our artists do not try to portray this remarkable thing. The value of science remains unsung by singers: you are reduced to hearing not a song or poem, but an evening lecture about it. This is not yet a scientific age.

I do think that a general liberal arts education is very important, particularly in an uncertain changing world.

Steve Case

Sometimes you want someone to accept our apology so badly. But all that we can do is hope they will, and that we can move on if they don't.

Lolalola

I can be almost terminally grief-stricken because things are so dire, but at the same time, there's a real lightheartedness about just the recoverability of life, of how things change, how they're not the same, ever again.

Alice Walker

I have sons, and they have never said the word hell in front of me or my wife. That's the truth.

Danny Aiello

We don't want an America that is closed to the world. What we want is a world that is open to America.

George H. W. Bush

The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane.

Mahatma Gandhi

It's more important for me to feel content than to be famous.

Samantha Morton

The cars we drive say a lot about us.

Alexandra Paul

I am about to get involved with the biggest cancer hospital in Norway. They are building a fitness center to work with patients. I will be a consultant.

Grete Waitz

The main thing that gives me hope is the media. We have radio, TV, magazines, and books, so we have the possibility of learning from societies that are remote from us, like Somalia. We turn on the TV and see what blew up in Iraq or we see conditions in Afghanistan.

Jared Diamond

One of my biggest pet peeves is that I just don't like it when characters do things that are funny to the writer, but you don't know why they're doing it and it doesn't make any sense.

Glenn Howerton

To punish me for my contempt of authority, Fate has made me an authority myself.

Albert Einstein
