I take as metaphysical poetry that in which what is ordinarily apprehensible only by thought is brought within the grasp of feeling, or that in which what is ordinarily only felt is transformed into thought without ceasing to be feeling.

I do not think that there is a reputable scientist on this planet who would advocate using this technology to generate a human child as was just announced.

The highest purpose is to have no purpose at all. This puts one in accord with nature, in her manner of operation.

John Cage

Kenny Rogers

Eric Hoffer

Experience was of no ethical value. It was merely the name men gave to their mistakes. Moralists had, as a rule, regarded it as a mode of warning, had claimed for it a certain ethical efficacy in the formation of character, had praised it as something that taught us what to follow and showed us what to avoid. But there was no motive power in experience. It was as little of an active cause as conscience itself. All that it really demonstrated was that our future would be the same as our past, and that the sin we had done once, and with loathing, we would do many times, and with joy.

Oscar Wilde

Daniel Radcliffe

You'd be so nice, You'd be paradise To come home to and love.

In leadership being gentle is being bold.

Lolly Daskal

A philosopher may try to prove the truth of something he believed before he was a philosopher, but even if he succeeds, his belief never regain the untroubled character, and the settled place in his mind, which it had at first.
