We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom.

Don't worry. You're just as sane as I am.

J.K. Rowling

One of the problems of taking things apart and seeing how they work - supposing you're trying to find out how a cat works--you take that cat apart to see how it works, what you've got in your hands is a non-working cat. The cat wasn't a sort of clunky mechanism that was susceptible to our available tools of analysis.

Douglas Adams

When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous.

Albert Einstein

I am not a great theologian. I know there is a theological concept called invincible ignorance in which a strong enough faith binds you to any facts to the contrary.

Barney Frank

I am little concerned with beauty or perfection. I don't care for the great centuries. All I care about is life, struggle, intensity.

Emile Zola

My goal when I started out was to get to the point where I could tour a lot and make a living, which means getting paid enough to hire my own band, travel and end up with a bit of money, but I'm still nowhere near that point. Because I didn't have a band and fan base when I started, I did everything backward.

Teddy Thompson

Many governments employ torture but this was the first time that the element of Saturnalia and pornography in the process had been made so clear to me. If you care to imagine what any inadequate or cruel man might do, given unlimited power over a woman, then anything that you can bring yourself to suspect was what became routine in ESMA, the Navy Mechanics School that became the headquarters of the business. I talked to Dr. Emilio Mignone, a distinguished physician whose daughter Monica had disappeared into the precincts of that hellish place. What do you find to say to a doctor and a humanitarian who has been gutted by the image of a starving rat being introduced to his daughter's genitalia? Like hell itself the school was endorsed and blessed by priests, in case any stray consciences needed to be stilled.

Christopher Hitchens

Truth is what your contemporaries let you get away with.

Richard M. Rorty

Beliefs are not related to religion but they are basically about who you are.

Stephen Richards

The answer is that there is no good answer. So as parents, as doctors, as judges, and as a society, we fumble through and make decisions that allow us to sleep at night--because morals are more important than ethics, and love is more important than law.

Jodi Picoult

Bereavement is the sharpest challenge to our trust in God if faith can overcome this, there is no mountain which it cannot remove.

Dean Inge

When people are taken out of their depths they lose their heads, no matter how charming a bluff they may put up.
