You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope...I have loved none but you.

Judgments, value judgments concerning life, for or against, can in the last resort never be true: they possess value only as symptoms, they come into consideration only as symptoms - in themselves such judgments are stupidities.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Self-help books are making life downright unsafe. Women desperate to catch a man practice all the ploys recommended by these authors. Bump into him, trip over him, knock him down, spill something on him, scald him, but meet him.

Florence King

Science flies you to the moon. Religion flies you into buildings.

Richard Dawkins

One does not accumulate but eliminate . It is not daily increase but daily decrease. The height of cultivation always runs to simplicity.

Bruce Lee

If something is wrong, it matters not if a thousand men are for it; you must still oppose it. If something is just, no amount of popular outcry should stay you from your course.

Terry Goodkind

'Vote Love' means vote equality. It means vote change. It means vote what's right for humanity.

Macklemore

To a wise man every day is a new life.

Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom - and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech.

Benjamin Franklin

The studious class are their own victims: they are thin and pale, their feet are cold, their heads are hot, the night is without sleep, the day a fear of interruption --pallor, squalor, hunger, and egotism.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Tears are the noble language of eyes, and when true love of words is destitute. The eye by tears speak, while the tongue is mute.

Robert Herrick

Hitch your wagon to a star.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
