As a spirit having a human experience, you can choose to not merely exist but to be fully conscious and aware of living in a limited world. When you take a conscious part in life and its multitudes of choices, you won't let life happen to you - you will make life happen for you.

Nobody should trust their virtue with necessity, the force of which is never known till it is felt, and it is therefore one of the first duties to avoid the temptation of it.

Mary Wortley Montagu

The freedom of all is essential to my freedom.

Mikhail Bakunin

As we approach the new millennium, we see how much remains to be done to give our young and future generations a better world to live in: a more peaceful society with a healthier, cleaner environment and a pattern of sustainable development which seeks to eradicate poverty. Education is the single most powerful means to improve the quality of life... the single most powerful weapon against poverty and intolerance. Education builds a culture of peace ... it empowers human beings, both young and adult, to be effective in their chosen sphere of activity ... education in its essence, opens doors to both personal and social development.

Federico Mayor, Address at the S

I've got high standards when it comes to boys. As my dad says, all girls should! I'm from the South - Tennessee, to be exact - and down there, we're all about southern hospitality. I know that if I like a guy, he better be nice, and above all, my dad has to approve of him!

Miley Cyrus

The only thing I really love is Fiji water. That's like the only crazy request - I don't like any other water.

Kelly Rowland

Looking back, my life seems like one long obstacle race, with me as the chief obstacle.

Jack Paar

Not everyone is lucky enough to be given space and trust.

Vanessa Paradis

This is why we call people exes, I guess -- because the paths that cross in the middle end up separating at the end. It's too easy to see an X as a cross-out. It's not, because there's no way to cross out something like that. The X is a diagram of two paths.

John Green

El amor empieza a ser un demonio desde el momento en que comienza a ser un dios.

C.S. Lewis

My particular aesthetic of light and color and design wouldn't change as a result of working with computer graphics rather than with slit scan or miniatures.

Douglas Trumbull

No vacation goes unpunished.

Nothing except possibly love and death are of importance
