The opposite of love is not to hate but to separate. If love and hate have something in common it is because, in both cases, their energy is that of bringing and holding together

It is with true love as it is with ghosts everyone talks about it, but few have seen it.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The typical human life seems to be quite unplanned, undirected, unlived, and unsavored. Only those who consciously think about the adventure of living as a matter of making choices among options, which they have found for themselves, ever establish real self-control and live their lives fully.

Karl Albrecht

The world is his who has money to go over it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

How much truth can a spirit bear, how much truth can a spirit dare? ... that became for me more and more the real measure of value.

Friedrich Nietzsche

You always have two choices: your commitment versus your fear.

Sammy Davis, Jr.

They do not understand Islam, and I think that is one area where perhaps I hope one day I will play a role in actually making people understand what we perceive Islam to be.

Imran Khan

History leaves no doubt that among of the most regrettable crimes committed by human beings have been committed by those human beings who thought of themselves as civilized. What, we must ask, does our civilization possess that is worth defending? One thing worth defending, I suggest, is the imperative to imagine the lives of beings who are not ourselves and are not like ourselves: animals, plants, gods, spirits, people of other countries, other races, people of the other sex, places and enemies.

Wendell Berry, Peaceableness Tow

Write out of love, write out of instinct, write out of reason. But always for money.

Louis Untermeyer

I had a heartbreaking experience when I was 9. I always wanted to be a guard. The most wonderful girl in the world was a guard. When I got polio and then went back to school, they made me a guard. A teacher took away my guard button.

Francis Ford Coppola

Art school had taught me it was far better to be a flamboyant failure than any kind of benign success.

Malcolm Mclaren

The same people who can deny others everything are famous for refusing themselves nothing.

Leigh Hunt

Slavery is the first step towards civilization. In order to develop it is necessary that things should be much better for some and much worse for others, then those who are better off can develop at the expense of others.

Alexander Herzen
