Should I perchance still feel after my death, I would no longer have any doubt, but I would most certainly give the lie to anyone asserting before me that I was dead.

Schooling, instead of encouraging the asking of questions, too often discourages it.

Madeleine L'Engle

With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall. Psalms 18:29

Maybe I couldn

Germaine Greer

To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.

Gustave Flaubert

I am neither a German citizen, nor do I believe in anything that can be described as a Jewish faith. But I am a Jew and glad to belong to the Jewish people, though I do not regard it in any way as chosen.

Albert Einstein

In riding to the hounds, in falconry, In love or war, as anyone will tell you, For one brief joy a hundred woes.

François Villon

I had a lot of pimples too. One day I fell asleep in the library. I woke up and a blind man was reading my face.

Rodney Dangerfield

STAR TREK is a show that had a vision about a future that was positive.

George Takei

It's funny, because in drama school, my greatest strength was my range. So my early career was like that: I played all kinds of different characters.

Lance Reddick

So I wanted to sing inspirational music, and that's exactly how I approached it - only the words have been changed to declare my relationship with God.

Smokey Robinson

Language as putative science. - The significance of language for the evolution of culture lies in this, that mankind set up in language a separate world beside the other world, a place it took to be so firmly set that, standing upon it, it could lift the rest of the world off its hinges and make itself master of it. To the extent that man has for long ages believed in the concepts and names of things as in aeternae veritates he has appropriated to himself that pride by which he raised himself above the animal: he really thought that in language he possessed knowledge of the world. The sculptor of language was not so modest as to believe that he was only giving things designations, he conceived rather that with words he was expressing supreame knowledge of things; language is, in fact, the first stage of occupation with science. Here, too, it is the belief that the truth has been found out of which the mightiest sources of energy have flowed. A great deal later - only now - it dawns on men that in their belief in language they have propagated a tremendous error. Happily, it is too late for the evolution of reason, which depends on this belief, to be put back. - Logic too depends on presuppositions with which nothing in the real world corresponds, for example on the presupposition that there are identical things, that the same thing is identical at different points of time: but this science came into existence through the opposite belief (that such conditions do obtain in the real world). It is the same with mathematics, which would certainly not have come into existence if one had known from the beginning that there was in nature no exactly straight line, no real circle, no absolute magnitude.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.

Karl Marx
