No sooner is your ocean filled, than he grumbles that it might have been of better vintage. Try him with half of a Universe, of an Omnipotence, he sets to quarrelling with the proprietor of the other half, and declares himself the most maltreated of men. Always there is a black spot in our sunshine: it is even as I said, the Shadow of Ourselves.

Yet what are all such gaieties to me whose thoughts are full of indices and surds?

Lewis Carroll

Life in general has never been even close to fair, so the pretense that the government can make it fair is a valuable and inexhaustible asset to politicians who want to expand government.

Thomas Sowell

Scientists investigate that which already is;Engineers create that which has never been.''

Albert Einstein

Myth does not set out to give lessons in natural science any more than in morals or sociology.

François-Bernard Mâche

I think an old style of addressing environmental problems is ebbing, but the rise of the so-called conservative, political movement in this country is not a trend towards the future but a reaction to this very broad shift that we are undergoing.

Paul Hawken

Tori Amos

Lewis Carroll

I think a good relationship is about collaboration.

Jennifer Aniston

I'm the lead singer of the Beach Boys and an ambassador of this amazing music that touched a generation.

Mike Love

Brennan Manning

When I hear the hypercritical quarreling about grammar and style, the position of the particles, etc., etc., stretching or contracting every speaker to certain rules of theirs. I see that they forget that the first requisite and rule is that expression shall be vital and natural, as much as the voice of a brute or an interjection: first of all, mother tongue; and last of all, artificial or father tongue. Essentially your truest poetic sentence is as free and lawless as a lamb's bleat.

Henry David Thoreau
