I suppose one has a greater sense of intellectual degradation after an interview with a doctor than from any human experience.

Alice James

It the British System is the most gigantic system of slavery the world has yet seen, and therefore it is that freedom gradually disappears from every country over which England is enabled to obtain control.

Henry Charles Carey

What a man thinks of himself that is what determines, or rather indicates his fate.

Henry David Thoreau

Excuse me, are you the imprint of a departed soul?

No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our every man must take on a science fictional way of thinking.

Isaac Asimov

We've persevered because of a belief we share with the Iraqi people - a belief that out of the ashes of war, a new beginning could be born in this cradle of civilization.

John Lennon

David Coverdale

A grievance is most poignant when almost redressed.

Eric Hoffer

It's fun to go to the movies and be scared.

Selma Blair

A new vision and understanding of something demands a new way of talking about it, for the old terminology gets in the way of this effort. Stubbornly entrenched behind the words coined by a particular conceptual orientation are its secrete prejudices. Any attempt to open out an adequately human vista onto the phenomena of undisturbed existence must include a critique of the most important idea of traditional biology, physiology, and psychology.
