Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.

We are all artists in everything we do. Art is creating; it is our link that makes us like god. All you have to do is look at any form of nature to know that god was the greatest artist of all. He gives us beauty in his creations to inspire us to find the artists inside of us. Art isnt just about painting or sculpture. It is in everything from how you organize your life to how communicate with the world.

Bethany Jane Andrews Hoey

Some philosophers fail to distinguish propositions from judgements;... But in the real world it is more important that a proposition be interesting than that it be true. The importance of truth is that it adds to interest.

Alfred North Whitehead

Man is the head of the family, woman the neck that turns the head.

Chinese Proverb

You get so afraid of failure and so afraid of losing and so afraid of not being the best that it's not a natural drive - it's born out of fear of failure. Which helps in Hollywood.

Gabrielle Union

We are threatened with suffering from three directions: from our own body, which is doomed to decay and dissolution and which cannot even do without pain and anxiety as warning signals; from the external world, which may rage against us with overwhelming and merciless forces of destruction; and finally from our relations to other men. The suffering which comes from this last source is perhaps more painful than any other.

Sigmund Freud

It is an insult to God to believe in God. For on the one hand it is to suppose that he has perpetrated acts of incalculable cruelty. On the other hand, it is to suppose that he has perversely given his human creatures an instrument -- their intellect -- which must inevitably lead them, if they are dispassionate and honest, to deny his existence. It is tempting to conclude that if he exists, it is the atheists and agnostics that he loves best, among those with any pretensions to education. For they are the ones who have taken him most seriously.

Galen Strawson

I consider that women who are authors, lawyers, and politicians are monsters.

Pierre Auguste Renoir

My key to dealing with stress is simple: just stay cool and stay focused.

Ashton Eaton

I went to India and met some people who had been involved in this guerrilla business, middle-class people who were rather vain and foolish. There was no revolutionary grandeur to it. Nothing.

V. S. Naipaul

My heart was fashioned to be susceptible of love and sympathy, and when wrenched by misery to vice and hatred, it did not endure the violence of the change without torture such as you cannot even imagine.

Mary Shelley

There are two kinds of cloning right now. One is therapeutic cloning which is for coming up with cures for life threatening, really, really awful diseases. Then there is reproductive cloning, which is to make a human being out of your DNA and a donor egg.

Mary Tyler Moore

No wickedness proceeds on any grounds of reason.
