I have six sisters, so I assumed I'd have a girl. Learning I was having a boy was really weird.

All you need is trust and a little bit of pixie dust!

J.M. Barrie

A free spirit takes liberties even with liberty itself.

Francis Picabia

The greatest gift a parent can give a child is unconditional love. As a child wanders and strays, finding his bearings, he needs a sense of absolute love from a parent. There's nothing wrong with tough love, as long as the love is unconditional.

George Herbert Walker Bush

Because we have for millenia made moral, aesthetic, religious demands on the world, looked upon it with blind desire, passion or fear, and abandoned ourselves to the bad habits of illogical thinking, this world has gradually become so marvelously variegated, frightful, meaningful, soulful, it has acquired color - but we have been the colorists: it is the human intellect that has made appearances appear and transported its erroneous basic conceptions into things.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The RNA World referred to an hypothetical stage in the origin of life on Earth.

Sidney Altman

Those little nimble musicians of the air, that warble forth their curious ditties, with which nature hath furnished them to the shame of art.

Izaak Walton

Funny, how one good cookie could calm the mind and even elevate a troubled soul.

Dean Koontz

I do not know everything; still many things I understand.

Madeleine L'Engle

The university's business is the conservation of useless knowledge and what the university itself apparently fails to see is that this enterprise is not only noble but indispensable as well, that society can not exist unless it goes on.

Albert J. Nock

The creator is both detached and committed, free and yet ensnared, concerned but not too much so. If motivation is too strong the person is blinded; if the objective situation is too tightly structured, the person sees none of its alternative possibilities.

Robert Macleod

One cause, which is not always observed, of the insufficiency of riches, is that they very seldom make their owner rich.

Samuel Johnson

None of you knows what creativity means. To paint a picture, to write a poem? No! To recast one's whole age, to impose upon it the stamp of one's will, to fill it with beauty, to overwhelm it, to overpower it with one's spirit.

Christian Morgenstern
