Sooner or later, we will have to recognise that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans.

To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have always been an outstanding football player, I have always had uncanny abilities, great arm strength, an immense ability to play the game from a quarterback standpoint. The problem was that I wasn't given the liberty to do certain things when I was young.

Michael Vick

To preserve permanent good health, the state of mind must be taken into consideration.

Robert Owen

All nationalisms are at heart deeply concerned with names: with the most immaterial and original human invention.

That is why they insist upon their continuity -- their links with their dead and the unborn.

John Berger

Without consciousness and intelligence, the universe would lack meaning.

Clifford D. Simak

A moment, and its glory was no more. The sun went down beneath the long dark lines of hill and cloud which piled up in the west an airy city, wall heaped on wall, and battlement on battlement; the light was all withdrawn; the shining church turned cold and dark; the stream forgot to smile; the birds were silent; and the gloom of winter dwelt on everything.

Charles Dickens, Life And Advent

It doesn't make you a monster to want, she said, her voice very gentle. It's what you do with it that matters.

Jim Butcher

Being a mom's so empowering and incredible. I'm one of those people who believes that life brings things to you at a certain time for a certain reason, and if you just go with it, that's where the best moments come from.

Ashlee Simpson

Our goodness comes solely from thinking on goodness; our wickedness from thinking on wickedness. We too are the victims of our own contemplation.

John Jay Chapman

Oh Christ, he groaned to himself, if this is the stuff adults have to think about I never want to grow up

Stephen King

If youth knew; if age could.

Sigmund Freud

An alarm clock is a device that makes you rise and whine.
