To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.

I fear explanations explanatory of things explained.

Abraham Lincoln

What is the use of your pedigrees?

Juvenal

Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.

Vaclav Havel

There are many who lust for the simple answers of doctrine or decree. They are on the left and right. They are not confined to a single part of the society. They are terrorists of the mind.

A. Bartlett Giamatti

Une religion, par exemple, qui doit être transformée en savoir historique, une religion qui doit être étudiée de part en part scientifiquement, une fois cette étape franchie, sera par l? même détruite. Toute vérificatiuon historique amène au jour tant de choses fausses, grossières, inhumaines, absurdes, violentes que, forcément, se dissipe l'atmosphère d'illusion pieuse où tout ce qui a le désir de vivre peut seul prospérer.Deuxième Considération intempestive, ch. 7

Friedrich Nietzsche

I've never been seriously involved with anyone. I've certainly never been in love. I've always preferred to keep things casual.

Rupert Grint

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

Dr. Seuss

Introspection and preserved writings give us far more insight into the ways of past humans than we have into the ways of past dinosaurs. For that reason, I'm optimistic that we can eventually arrive at convincing explanations for these broadest patterns of human history.

Jared Diamond

Keeping demons from this world is your mandate, a mandate from heaven. And a mandate from heaven isn't something you can just ignore.

Cassandra Clare

When soldiers have been baptized in the fire of a battle-field, they have all one rank in my eyes.

Napoleon Bonaparte

All anyone asks for is a chance to work with pride.

W. Edwards Deming
