The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence.

I do not know if you remember the tale of the girl who saves the ship under mutiny by sitting on the powder barrel with her lighted torch and all the time knowing that it is empty? This has seemed to me a charming image of the women of my time. There they were, keeping the world in order by sitting on the mystery of life, and knowing themselves that there was no mystery.

To do nothing is also a good remedy.

Hippocrates

If you want to make dough, do a bun dance.

The science hangs like a gathering fog in a valley, a fog which begins nowhere and goes nowhere, an incidental, unmeaning inconvenience to passers-by.

H. G. [Herbert George] Wells

Each one of us has some kind of vocation. We are all called by God to share in His life and in His Kingdom. Each one of us is called to a special place in the Kingdom. If we find that place we will be happy. If we do not find it, we can never be completely happy. For each one of us, there is only one thing necessary: to fulfill our own destiny, according to God's will, to be what God wants us to be.

Thomas Merton, No Man is an Isla

Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.

Victor Hugo

The law will never make a man free; it is men who have got to make the law free.

Henry David Thoreau

Love expands.

Hugh Prather

To go to the Oscars for Moneyball - that was pretty amazing. And to be able to go work with Kathryn Bigelow - that's going to be pretty sweet. Hopefully I don't have to go back to being a waiter. That's still my main goal.

Chris Pratt

No cord nor cable can so forcibly draw, or hold so fast, as love can do with a twined thread.

Robert Burton

It is well to love even a dog when you have the opportunity, for fear you should find nothing else worth loving
