The soul is healed by being with children.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Charles M. Schwab

Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.

George Eliot

There is no society known where a more or less developed criminality is not found under different forms. No people exists whose morality is not daily infringed upon. We must therefore call crime necessary and declare that it cannot be non-existent, that the fundamental conditions of social organization, as they are understood, logically imply it.

Emile Durkheim

If you really want change, you really want it to be inclusive, where everyone's included, otherwise you're just going to have more of the same in the future.

Christmas... is not an external event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart.

Freya Stark

Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, the chief glory of man.

Bertrand Russell

A hard fall means a high bounce... if you're made of the right material.

Peter Singer

Even if you don't have all the things you want, be grateful for the things you don't have that you don't want (Bob Dylan's dad)

Bob Dylan

Solitude is impractical and yet society is fatal.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
