What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable?

I exist here, now. I'm not much interested in the future. Or, more precisely put, I do not believe in the future. To exaggerate a little, I have no faith that I will still exist tomorrow or the day after. What is more, I absolutely detest retrospection. That dislike is balances only by my desire to make my way back home as quickly as possible.

Yohji Yamamoto

Sometimes a woman's love of being loved gets the better of her conscience, and though she is agonized at the thought of treating a man cruelly, she encourages him to love her while she doesn't love him at all. Then, when she sees him suffering, her remorse sets in, and she does what she can to repair the wrong.

Thomas Hardy

There is no scientific reason to think that we, even with space travel, are going to survive as a species for ever, certainly not by biting off the hand that feeds us, which is exactly what we are doing.

Lynn Margulis

True, I talk of dreams,Which are the children of an idle brain,Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,Which is as thin of substance as the air,And more inconstant than the wind, who woos Even now the frozen bosom of the north,And, being anger'd, puffs away from thence,Turning his side to the dew-dropping south.

William Shakespeare

Their story, yours and mine -- it

William Carlos Williams

My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four unless there are three other people.

Orson Welles

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

One is not born a woman, but becomes one.

Simone de Beauvoir

By the time you get dressed, drive out there, play 18 holes and come home, you've blown seven hours. There are better things you can do with your time.

Richard M. Nixon

It is criminal to steal a purse,daring to steal a fortune,a mark of greatness to steal a crown.The blame diminishes as the guilt increases.

Friedrich von Schiller

Rewards and punishment is the lowest form of education.

Chuang Tzu
