The quality of life is determined by its activities.

A book is sent out into the world, and there is no way of fully anticipating the responses it will elicit. Consider the responses called forth by the Bible, Homer, Shakespeare - let alone contemporary poetry or a modern novel.

Chaim Potok

The contented and economically comfortable have a very discriminating view of government. Nobody is ever indignant about bailing out failed banks and failed savings and loans associations. But when taxes must be paid for the lower middle class and poor, the government assumes an aspect of wickedness.

John Kenneth Galbraith

There exists, if I am not mistaken, an entire world which is the totality of mathematical truths, to which we have access only with our mind, just as a world of physical reality exists, the one like the other independent of ourselves, both of divine creation.

Charles Hermite

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.

Harper Lee

Some people do polarizing the religion against science. I use both to solve a problem with two different kind of approach.

Toba Beta

Be sincere in your thoughts,Be pure in your feelings.You will not have to run after happiness.Happiness will run after you.

Sri Chinmoy

If you once turn on your side after the hour at which you ought to rise, it is all over. Bolt up at once.

Sir Walter Scott

If you can accept losing you can't win. If you can walk you can run. No one is ever hurt. Hurt is in your mind.

Vince Lombardi

Wars--and what is war except crime on a mass scale?--destroy rather than produce. The vandal that destroys a window causes not only the owner to bear the costs of replacing it, but costs those whom he planned on using that money to buy from. The same goes for wars. The warlords--of war and peace--destroyed so much, not only what existed, but all those new things that could have existed, if only individuals were left in peace.

Adam Young

Love stories are only fit for the solace of people in the insanity of puberty. No healthy adult human being can really care whether so-and-so does or does not succeed in satisfying his physiological uneasiness by the aid of some particular person or not.

Aleister Crowley

That's why people listen to music or look at paintings. To get in touch with that wholeness.

Corita Kent

Just as the bird sings or the butterfly soars, because it is his natural characteristic, so the artist works.
