I saw also that there was an ocean of darkness and death, but an infinite ocean of light and love, which flowed over the ocean of darkness.

To light one candle to God and another to the Devil is the principle of wisdom.

Jose Bergamin

Golda Meir

He was a wise man who originated the idea of God.

Euripides

Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.

Eminem

Our destinies are riddled with challenges that have a tendency to ruin well laid plans. Many have attempted to take fate into their own hands and have been unsuccessful in changing it.Others find that their paths differ from what they have dreamed for themselves. We must be aware that our choices may come back to haunt us later in life, but to trust that is is all part of fate's desing.

Peter Koevari

I never thought that heav'n would lose its blue And sullen storm-clouds mask the gentle sky; I never thought the rose's velvet hue Would pale and sicken, though we said good-by. I never dreamed the lark would hush its note As day succeeded ever-drearier day, Nor knew the song that swelled the robin's throat Would fade to silence, when you went away. I never knew the sun's irradiant beams Upon the brooding earth no more would shine, Nor thought that only in my mocking dreams Would happiness that once I knew be mine. I never thought the slim moon, mournfully, Would shroud her pallid self in murky night. Dear heart, I never thought these things would be-I never thought they would, and I was right.

Dorothy Parker, Absence

Question: Which Mediterranean government shares all of Ronald Reagan's views on international terrorism, the present danger of Soviet advance, the hypocrisy of the United Nations, the unreliability of Europe, the perfidy of the Third World and the need for nuclear defense policy? Question: Which Mediterranean government is Ronald Reagan trying, with the help of George Shultz and Caspar Weinberger, to replace with a government led by a party which professes socialism and which contains extreme leftists?If you answered 'the government of Israel' to both of the above, you know more about political and international irony than the President does.

Christopher Hitchens

A political prisoner is someone who is out fighting for his or her people's rights and freedom and is imprisoned for that alone.

Leonard Peltier

Now, Venus is an extremely hostile environment, and as such presents a lot of challenges for a science fiction author who wants to create life there. However, as I began to research it more thoroughly, I found myself intrigued by the possibilities the world offers.

Sarah Zettel

Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.

Maria Montessori

The clear-sighted do not rule the world, but they sustain and console it.

Agnes Repplier

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.
