I love the imagery of struggle. I sometimes wish I were suffering in a good cause, or risking my life for the good of others, instead of just being a gravely endangered patient. Allow me to inform you, though, that when you sit in a room with a set of other finalists, and kindly people bring a huge transparent bag of poison and plug it into your arm, and you either read or don't read a book while the venom sack gradually empties itself into your system, the image of the ardent solider is the very last one that will occur to you. You feel swamped with passivity and impotence: dissolving in powerlessness like a sugar lump in water.

Christopher Hitchens

Science gives us knowledge, but only philosophy can give us wisdom.

Will Durant

Time takes it all whether you want it to or not, time takes it all. Time bares it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again.

Only after we understand them at the genetic level can we rationally seek out appropriate therapies for such illnesses as schizophrenia and bipolar disease.

Demosthenes

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

Art Garfunkel

Whenever we're afraid, its because we don't know enough. If we understood enough, we would never be afraid.

Earl Nightingale

I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.

Clarence Darrow

Love is a deep well from which you may drink often, but into which you may fall but once

Ellye Howell Glover

Hatred comes from the heart; contempt from the head; and neither feeling is quite within our control.
