He that outlives a wife whom he has long loved, sees himself disjoined from the only mind that has the same hopes, and fears, and interest; from the only companion with whom he has shared much good and evil; and with whom he could set his mind at liberty, to retrace the past or anticipate the future. The continuity of being is lacerated; the settled course of sentiment and action is stopped; and life stands suspended and motionless.

The diseases which destroy a man are no less natural than the instincts which preserve him.

George Santayana

I see America spreading disaster. I see America as a black curse upon the world. I see a long night settling in and that mushroom which has poisoned the world withering at the roots.

Henry Miller

If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.

Malcolm X

There is a certain age when a woman must be beautiful to be loved, and then there comes a time when she must be loved to be beautiful.

Francoise Sagan

There were IBM logos designed for the film, and there were IBM design consultants working with Kubrick on the layout of the controls and computer screens.

Douglas Trumbull

I'm not here to discuss the past... I'm here to be positive.

Mark McGwire

He soon felt that the realization of his desire had given him only a grain of the mountain of happiness he had expected. It showed him the eternal error people make in imagining that happiness is the realization of desires.

Leo Tolstoy

The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.

Benjamin Franklin

Health is the condition of wisdom, and the sign is cheerfulness -- an open and noble temper.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.

Virginia Woolf

Yoga is a way to freedom. By its constant practice, we can free ourselves from fear, anguish and loneliness.

Indra Devi

Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult.

Julia Cameron
