To pursue science is not to disparage the things of the spirit. In fact, to pursue science rightly is to furnish the framework on which the spirit may rise.

There were many times my pants were so thin I could sit on a dime and tell if it was heads or tails.

Spencer Tracy

The thing about being autistic is that you gradually get less and less autistic, because you keep learning, you keep learning how to behave. It's like being in a play I'm always in a play.

Temple Grandin

My kind of loyalty was loyalty to one's country, not to its institutions or its officeholders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to; institutions are extraneous, they are its mere clothing, and clothing can wear out, become ragged, cease to be comfortable, cease to protect the body from winter, disease, and death.

Mark Twain

What we know from World War I is that some of our troops had acute symptoms of exposure to chemicals, had bad health and died because of chemical exposure in World War I.

Christopher Shays

If those we love visit us when we dream, those who torment us almost always visit us when we're still awake.

Alyson Richman

The thing that contributes to anyone's reaching the goal he wants is simple wanting that goal badly enough.

Charles E. Wilson

Gestures, in love, are incomparably more attractive, effective and valuable than words.

Francois Rabelais

I don't know if this is too weird to say, but this is completely surreal for me. Bizarre. The cover of 'Teen Vogue' has been on my bucket list forever.

Lily Collins

My mom didn't let me play video games growing up, so now I do. Gaming gives me a chance to just let go, blow somebody up and fight somebody from another dimension. It's all escapism.

Wayne Brady

Billy coughed when the door was opened, and when he coughed he shit thin gruel. This was in accordance with the Third Law of Motion according to Sir Isaac Newton. This law tells us that for each reaction there is a reaction which is equal and opposite in direction. This can be useful in rocketry.

Kurt Vonnegut

We can never, ever say it enough: every woman - especially every young woman-has to take charge of her health... and do what's right for her!

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Silence alone is worthy to be heard.

Henry David Thoreau
