And she shows you where to look Among the garbage and the flowers. There are heroes in the seaweed, There are children in the morning, They are leaning out for love, And they will lean that way forever, While Suzanne holds the mirror.

A society made up of individuals who were all capable of original thought would probably be unendurable.

H. L. Mencken

...One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.

Albert Einstein

I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

Agatha Christie

I have never understood that. I come from a place where the press makes or breaks an actor and it is more of a teamwork relationship.

Michelle Trachtenberg

Virginia Woolf

Some of us still get all weepy when we think about the Gaia Hypothesis, the idea that earth is a big furry goddess-creature who resembles everybody's mom in that she knows what's best for us. But if you look at the historical record -- Krakatoa, Mt. Vesuvius, Hurricane Charley, poison ivy, and so forth down the ages -- you have to ask yourself: Whose side is she on, anyway?

Barbara Ehrenreich

The severest justice may not always be the best policy

Abraham Lincoln

I got to grow up with a mother who taught me to believe in me.

Antonio Villaraigosa

It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.

Niccolo Machiavelli

That's the biggest gap in sports, the difference between the winner and the loser of the Super Bowl.

John Madden

Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.

Malcolm X

The first pages of memory are like the old family Bible. The first leaves are wholly faded and somewhat soiled with handling. But, when we turn further, and come to the chapters where Adam and Eve were banished from Paradise, then, all begins to grow clear and legible.

Max Muller
