We are star stuff which has taken its destiny into its own hands.

Science has a simple faith, which transcends utility. It is the faith that it is the privilege of man to learn to understand, and that this is his mission.

Vannevar Bush

Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

Helen Keller

Justifying faith implies, not only a divine evidence or conviction that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, but a sure trust and confidence that Christ died for my sins, that He loved me and gave Himself for me.

John Wesley

You can travel fifty thousand miles in America without once tasting a piece of good bread.

Henry Miller

The greatest gift you and your partner can give your children is the example of an intimate, healthy, and loving relationship.

Barbara de Angelis

Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.

George Orwell

There can be no defense like elaborate courtesy.

E. V. Lucas

An idea is not responsible for the people who believe in it.

Don Marquis

God is not a dead equation!

Muhammad Iqbal

The hardest thing to do is to write straight honest prose on human beings. First you have to know the subject; then you have to know how to write. Both take a lifetime to learn, and anybody is cheating who takes politics as a way out. All the outs are too easy, and the thing itself is too hard to do.

Ernest Hemingway

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

George Bernard Shaw

The bond between a man and his profession is similar to that which ties him to his country; it is just as complex, often ambivalent, and in general it is understood completely only when it is broken: by exile or emigration in the case of one's country, by retirement in the case of a trade or profession.
