The state exists for man, not man for the state. The same may be said of science. These are old phrases, coined by people who saw in human individuality the highest human value. I would hesitate to repeat them, were it not for the ever recurring danger that they may be forgotten, especially in these days of organization and stereotypes.

For every failure, there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.

Mary Kay Ash

They used to but not any more. You kind of get used to it - you accept it is part of your job - if you're famous and you want this life, you have got to accept this part of it as well.

Charlotte Church

I would rather lose a good earring than be caught without make-up.

Lana Turner

Opinions have vested interests just as men have.

Samuel Butler

Even the most wretched individual of our present society could not exist and develop without the cumulative social efforts of countless generations.

Mikhail Bakunin

I went through a long period where I was afraid of doing things I wanted to do, and you get your courage back, which is what's important.

George Michael

An important consequence of freeing oneself from the fear of death is a radical opening to spirituality of a universal and non-denominational type.

Stanislav Grof

Nothing is very strong: strong enough to steal away a man's best years not in sweet sins but in a dreary flickering of the mind over it knows not what and knows not why, in the gratification of curiosities so feeble that the man is only half aware of them, in drumming of fingers and kicking of heels, in whistling tunes that he does not like, or in the long, dim labyrinth of reveries that have not even lust or ambition to give them a relish, but which, once chance association has started them, the creature is took weak and fuddled to shake off.

C.S. Lewis

There is more reason in your body than in your best wisdom.

Friedrich Nietzsche

What light is to the eyes

Robert G. Ingersoll

Whoever has provoked men to rage against him has always gained a party in his favor, too.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Your body must become familiar with its death -- in all its possible forms and degrees -- as a self-evident, imminent, and emotionally neutral step on the way towards the goal you have found worthy of your life.
