Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary.

A man from a primitive culture who sees an automobile might guess that it was powered by the wind or by an antelope hidden under the car, but when he opens up the hood and sees the engine he immediately realizes that it was designed.

Michael Behe

Great minds are to make others great. Their superiority is to be used, not to break the multitude to intellectual vassalage, not to establish over them a spiritual tyranny, but to rouse them from lethargy, and to aid them to judge for themselves.

William Ellery Channing

Castles in the air - -they are so easy to take refuge in. And so easy to build as well.

Henrik Ibsen

My commitment to the Republican movement was pure and simply patriotism, a love of Australia... a desire or passion that all of our national symbols should be unequivocally and unambiguously Australian.

Malcolm Turnbull

The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.

e. e. cummings

There are some cases in which the sense of injury breeds -- not the will to inflict injuries and climb over them as a ladder, but -- a hatred of all injury.

George Eliot

Fast cars are my only vice.

Michael Bay

Much of the ill-tempered railing against women that has characterized the popular writing of the last two years is a half-hearted attempt to find a way back to a more balanced relationship between our biological selves and the world we have built. So women are scolded both for being mothers and for not being mothers, for wanting to eat their cake and have it too, and for not wanting to eat their cake and have it too.

Margaret Mead

God makes stars. I just produce them.

Samuel Goldwyn

Don't let other people tell you what you want.

Pat Riley

A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Any work of architecture that has with it some discussion, some polemic, I think is good. It shows that people are interested, people are involved.

Richard Meier
