Sure, climbing Mount Everest would be cool, but that's something I would now like to do as a family. Big experiences like that I don't want to have on my own anymore. I want to share them.

And we, inhabitants of the great coral of the Cosmos, believe the atom (which still we cannot see) to be full matter, whereas, it too, like everything else, is but an embroidery of voids in the Void, and we give the name of being, dense and even eternal, to that dance of inconsistencies, that infinite extension that is identified with absolute Nothingness and that spins from its own non-being the illusion of everything.

Umberto Eco, The Island of the D

I try to live life so that I can live with myself.

John Green

Title: What Can a Thoughtful Man Hope for Mankind on Earth, Given the Experience of the Past Million Years? Only verse: Nothing.

Kurt Vonnegut

We have to be active about kindness and about peace. I've always fantasized that it would be great if there was a Department of Peace.

Dave Matthews

This conflict between right and fact has endured since the origins of society. To bring the duel to an end, to consolidate the pure ideal with the human reality, to make the right peacefully interpenetrate the fact, and the fact the right, this is the work of the wise.

Victor Hugo

You don't realize how hard it is to live on your own. But there's no mom to do your laundry, and make you dinner and to do things for you, and you don't think about little things like buying paper towels and salt.

Emma Roberts

I hate to say this, but I'll repeat it: After death, all we know that you do is stink.

Jack Kevorkian

It is better to have a fair intellect that is well used than a powerful one that is idle.

Bryant H. McGill

Get the facts first. You can distort them later.

Mark Twain

I didn't really seek attention. I just wanted to play the game well and go home.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

I do the very best I know how - the very best I can and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.

Abraham Lincoln

Barry L. Jacobs and colleagues from the neuroscience program at Princeton University showed that when mice ran every day on an exercise wheel, they developed more brain cells and they learned faster than sedentary controls. I believe in mice.
