Philosophy is not politics, and we do our best, within our all-too-human limitations, to seek the truth, not to score points against opponents. There is little satisfaction in gaining an easy triumph over a weak opponent while ignoring better arguments against your views.

Self-Realization Fellowship seemed like training. It was the training ground for finding a sense of peace in myself. Because that's my job. It's no one else's.

Mariel Hemingway

I think there's a lot of work to be done with our societies. My biggest passions are the environment and health. And when I say 'health' I mean the secrets behind health and our food system.

You know, the most amazing thing happened to me tonight... I saw a car with the license plate ARW 357. Can you imagine? Of all the millions of license plates in the state, what was the chance that I would see that particular one tonight? Amazing!

Richard P. Feynman

If American politics are too dirty for women to take part in, there's something wrong with American politics.

Edna Ferber

Rebecca St. James

If curiosity killed the cat, it was satisfaction that brought it back.

Holly Black

I’m no genius, but I’m smart in spots, and I stay around those spots.
