I am a restlessness inside a stillness inside a restlessness.

What's nice about my dating life is that I don't have to leave my house. All I have to do is read the paper: I'm marrying Richard Gere, dating Daniel Day-Lewis, parading around with John F. Kennedy, Jr., and even Robert De Niro was in there for a day.

Julia Roberts

All my freakouts have been pretty private and directed at family pets and/or people I have been dating for too short a time to freak out at in that way.

Lena Dunham

When I'm alone, I work sometimes with music, sometimes without and sometimes just listening to NPR.

Mikhail Baryshnikov

Science is the only truth and it is the great lie. It knows nothing, and people think it knows everything. It is misrepresented. People think that science is electricity, automobilism, and dirigible balloons. It is something very different. It is life devouring itself. It is the sensibility transformed into intelligence. It is the need to know stifling the need to live. It is the genius of knowledge vivisecting the vital genius.

Remy de Gourmont

Most people, no doubt, when they espouse human rights, make their own mental reservations about the proper application of the word human.

Suzanne Lafollette

I am very sad for men and women trapped in any relationship where there is cruelty, dominance, inequity. I long for the liberation of all people.

Jasmine Guy

The superior man is the providence of the inferior. He is eyes for the blind, strength for the weak, and a shield for the defenseless.

Robert G. Ingersoll

It is a scientifically proven fact that all scientifically proven facts have originated from original and thereby unproven theories.

Silvia Hartmann

It seemed to a number of philosophers of language, myself included, that we should attempt to achieve a unification of Chomsky's syntax, with the results of the researches that were going on in semantics and pragmatics. I believe that this effort has proven to be a failure. Though Chomsky did indeed revolutionize the subject of linguistics, it is not at all clear, at the end the century, what the solid results of this revolution are. As far as I can tell there is not a single rule of syntax that all, or even most, competent linguists are prepared to agree is a rule.

John Searle

We are ever striving after what is forbidden, and coveting what is denied us.

Ovid

Many a man is saved from being a thief by finding everything locked up.

Edward W. Howe

One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way.
