have and fifty percent what people think you have.
No time for better words, no time to unsay anything.-Til We Have Faces
C.S. Lewis
I think feminism's a bit misinterpreted. It was about casting off all gender roles. There's nothing wrong with a man holding a door open for a girl. But we sort of threw away all the rules, so everybody's confused. And dating becomes a sloppy, uncomfortable, unpleasant thing.
Zosia Mamet
He that thinks he can afford to be negligent is not far from being poor.
Samuel Johnson
Most of the southern hemisphere is unexplored. We had more exploration ships down there during Captain Cook's time than now. It's amazing.
Robert Ballard
You gotta be hungry!
Les Brown
Keats mourned that the rainbow, which as a boy had been for him a magic thing, had lost its glory because the physicists had found it resulted merely from the refraction of the sunlight by the raindrops. Yet knowledge of its causation could not spoil the rainbow for me. I am sure that it is not given to man to be omniscient. There will always be something left to know, something to excite the imagination of the poet and those attuned to the great world in which they live (p. 64)
Robert Frost
Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
This is what is sad when one contemplates human life, that so many live out their lives in quiet lostness... they live, as it were, away from themselves and vanish like shadows. Their immortal souls are blown away, and they are not disquieted by the question of its immortality, because they are already disintegrated before they die.
Soren Kierkegaard
Laws are not masters, but servants, and he rules them, who obeys them.
Ward Becker
The music that can deepest reach, And cure all ill, is cordial speech.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My dad was Jewish. My mom is not. So I was not raised anything.
Matt Lauer
Men try to run life according to their wishes; life runs itself according to necessity.
