Religion is not provided to us by revelation, it doesn't come from the heavens, it doesn't come from the beyond, it doesn't come from the divine. It's man-made. And it shows. It shows very well - that religion is created, invented, imposed by a species half a chromosome away from the chimpanzee.

The American empire is hovering between life and death.

In Germany I am not so famous.

Hans Berger

My hand is the extension of the thinking process - the creative process.

Tadao Ando

The most watched programme on the BBC, after the news, is probably 'Doctor Who.' What has happened is that science fiction has been subsumed into modern literature. There are grandparents out there who speak Klingon, who are quite capable of holding down a job. No one would think twice now about a parallel universe.

Terry Pratchett

Defer no time, delays have dangerous ends.

William Shakespeare

I come from a massive family, and the youngest is twentysomething years younger than I am, so I grew up with children.

Vera Farmiga

Sometimes you're drowning yourself in your own words.

Steve Maraboli

I think that the entertainment industry itself has a history of chasing success. Any time a hit product comes out, all the other companies start chasing after that success and trying to recreate it by putting out similar products.

Shigeru Miyamoto

That does not seem to me to be a grave objection. Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years. Lady Dumbleton is an instance in point. To my own knowledge she has been thirty-five ever since she arrived at the age of forty, which was many years ago now. I see no reason why our dear Cecily should not be even still more attractive at the age you mention than she is at present. There will be a large accumulation of property.

Oscar Wilde, The Importance of B

One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss, but in the number of things they need no longer mention.

Clifton Paul Fadiman

The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.

Thomas Hardy

Our faith is stronger than death, our philosophy is firmer than flesh, and the spread of the Kingdom of God upon the earth is more sublime and more compelling.

Dorothy Day
