It sometimes is just the fear of being misunderstood.

All intelligent thoughts have already been thought what is necessary is only to try to think them again.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you've got to make yourself.

Alice Walker

Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor - over each other.

Thomas Jefferson

Creativity leads others to where I lead you, to an unseen beauty, so ineffable its very beauty destroys itself...

Fola

I liked the way my character, Shane, was first introduced. You get introduced to her through this sexual action, and I thought that was so cool and just kind of summed up what she enjoys and who she is, to a certain extent. She's a complete sexual being and the great thing is that she doesn't apologize for it. It's just who she is. We rarely see women be able to do that on television.

Katherine Moennig

Today we have to learn all over again that love for the sinner and love for the person who has been harmed are correctly balanced if I punish the sinner in the form that is possible and appropriate. In this respect there was in the past a change of mentality, in which the law and the need for punishment were obscured. Ultimately this also narrowed the concept of law, which in fact is not only just being nice or courteous, but is found in the truth. And another component of the truth is that I must punish the one who has sinned against real love

Pope Benedict XVI

Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science.

Blaise Pascal

In hindsight, I slid into arrogance based upon past success.

Reed Hastings

Our current obsession with creativity is the result of our continued striving for immortality in an era when most people no longer believe in an after-life.

Arianna Stassinopoulos

There is endless merit in a man's knowing when to have done.

Thomas Carlyle

To live life well is to express life poorly; if one expresses life too well, one is living it no longer.

Gaston Bachelard

The happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist. For man it is to know that and to wonder at it.

Jacques Yves Cousteau
