Rest not. Life is sweeping by; go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.

Many children, many cares; no children, no felicity.

Christian Nevell Bovee

Death was like love, a romantic escape.

Brigitte Bardot

In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.

Friedrich Nietzsche

It is harmful to eat if you are not hungry. it is even worse to have sex if you lack desire. But even more harmful is to try to think when you do not wish to, or to be engaged in meaningless intellectual activity. Many people do so when they want to improve their position.

Leo Tolstoy

We are not hungry... Why foist this food upon us? We don't want to be choked. We have enough.

Robert Mugabe

Remember when life's path is steep to keep your mind even.

Horace

On the one hand, philosophy is to keep us thinking about things that we may come to know, and on the other hand to keep us modestly aware of how much that seems like knowledge isn't knowledge

Bertrand Russell

A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment.

Lionel Trilling

We are a nation in which freedom is alive in the squares and streets, in the daily work of the communications media, in the open relationship between the governing and the governed.

Vicente Fox

To us also, through every star, through every blade of grass, is not God made visible if we will open our minds and our eyes.

Thomas Carlyle

I'm fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think there's a lot of poetry in it. There's a lot of anger, a lot of social energy in it. And I think you'd better listen to it pretty carefully, 'cause it's important.

John F. Kerry

Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.

Margaret Mead
