Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.

I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.

James Madison

God's truth is too sacred to be expounded to superficial worldliness in its transient fit of earnestness.

Frederick William Robertson

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing.At other times it feels like being mildly drunk, or concussed. There is a sort of invisible blanket between the world and me. I find it hard to take in what anyone says. Or perhaps, hard to want to take it in. It is so uninteresting. Yet I want the others to be about me. I dread the moments when the house is empty. If only they would talk to one another and not to me.

C.S. Lewis

Personally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out.

Carl Sagan

Bob Dylan

I know what men want. Men want to be really, really close to someone who will leave them alone.

Elayne Boosler

All the interests of my reason, speculative as well as practical, combine in the three following questions: 1. What can I know? 2. What ought I to do? 3. What may I hope?

Immanuel Kant

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is…we were made for another world.”

C. S. Lewis

A man is known by the company that keeps him on after retirement age.

An advertising agency is 85 percent confusion and 15 percent commission.

Fred Allen

The recognition of the art that informs all pure science need not mean the abandonment for it of all present art, rather it will mean the completion of the transformation of art that has already begun.

John Desmond Bernal

There is a boundary to men's passions when they act from feelings but none when they are under the influence of imagination.

Edmund Burke
