The paradox of education is precisely this -- that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.

The difference between a movie star and a movie actor is this - a movie star will say, 'How can I change the script to suit me?' and a movie actor will say. 'How can I change me to suit the script?'

Michael Caine

I never wanted to be the most famous, the most beautiful, the most extravagant.

Manolo Blahnik

I don't think we're going to save anything if we go around talking about saving plants and animals only we've got to translate that into what's in it for us.

Jim Fowler

What intrigued me more than anything else was finding out the way in which everything, all of creation - all of it! - was held together by invisible chemical bonds, and I found a strange, inexplicable comfort in knowing that somewhere, even though we couldn't see it in our own world, there was a real stability.

Alan Bradley

The cities of America are inexpressibly tedious. The Bostonians take their learning too sadly; culture with them is an accomplishment rather than an atmosphere; their Hub, as they call it, is the paradise of prigs. Chicago is a sort of monster-shop, full of bustles and bores. Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry. Baltimore is amusing for a week, but Philadelphia is dreadfully provincial; and though one can dine in New York one could not dwell there.

Oscar Wilde

Without Freedom of Thought, there can be no such Thing as Wisdom; and no such Thing as publick Liberty, without Freedom of Speech.

Benjamin Franklin

If you would not be forgotton as soon as you are dead and rotten, Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.

Benjamin Franklin

But the thought of being a lunatic did not greatly trouble him; the horror was that he might also be wrong.

George Orwell

The signs of outstanding leadership appear primarily among the followers. Are the followers reaching their potential? Are they learning? Serving? Do they achieve the required results? Do they change with grace? Manage conflict?

Max de Pree

Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence, is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self's actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward.

Victor Frankl

There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.

Mahatma Gandhi

There are well-dressed foolish ideas, just as there are will-dressed fools.
