Morality negates life.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Science always uses metaphor.

James Lovelock

You have to be very fond of men. Very, very fond. You have to be very fond of them to love them. Otherwise they're simply unbearable.

Marguerite Duras

At the best of times his face was unreadable. Now his face was a book written in a language long forgotten, in an alphabet unimagined. Silas wrapped the shadows around him like a blanket, and stared after the way the boy had gone, and did not move to follow.

Neil Gaiman

God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live.

Stephen King

Gabrielle Union

Liars are the cause of all the sins and crimes in the world.

Epictetus

One of the goals of education should be to teach that life is precious.

Abraham Maslow

Lance Armstrong

I don't regret what I've been through. I've had ups and downs, super highs and some really low lows. I've been so blessed that I could never say, 'I wish this didn't happen.' It's part of who I am. There's nothing in my life that's so ugh.

Jennifer Lopez
