Take the risk of thinking for yourself, much more happiness, truth, beauty, and wisdom will come to you that way.(Closing statement of the debate with William Dembski at Prestonwood Baptist Church, Plano, Texas, November 18, 2010)

Death is just life's next big adventure.

J. K. Rowling

I've learned this is a very long marriage doing a television show. I like the people that I work with to be people I enjoy, so you want to cast people who are as excited and enthusiastic as you are.

Shonda Rhimes

To love one person with a private love is poor and miserable: to love all is glorious.

Thomas Traherne

No puedo soportar más en silencio. Debo hablar con usted por cualquier medio a mi alcance. Me desgarra usted el alma. Estoy entre la agonía y la esperanza. No me diga que es demasiado tarde, que tan preciosos sentimientos han desaparecido para siempre. Me ofrezco a usted nuevamente con un corazón que es aún más suyo que cuando casi lo destrozó hace ocho años y medio. No se atreva a decir que el hombre olvida más prontamente que la mujer, que su amor muere antes. No he amado a nadie más que a usted. Puedo haber sido injusto, débil y rencoroso, pero jamás inconsciente. Sólo por usted he venido a Bath; sólo por usted pienso y proyecto. ¿No se ha dado cuenta? ¿No ha interpretado mis deseos? No hubiera esperado estos diez días de haber podido leer sus sentimientos como debe usted haber leído los míos. Apenas puedo escribir. A cada instante escucho algo que me domina. Baja usted la voz, pero puedo percibir los tonos de esa voz cuando se pierde entre otras. ¡Buenísima, excelente criatura! No nos hace usted en verdad justicia. Crea que también hay verdadero afecto y constancia entre los hombres. Crea usted que estas dos cosas tienen todo el fervor de F. W.

Jane Austen

Faith is an organ of knowledge, and love an organ of experience.

A.W. Tozer

When you're shooting a film, you really don't get to be a dad, and you don't really get to be a husband. You don't really exist at all. But I do drag my family with me on location whenever I can.

Eric Bana

Perhaps our own opposition to even the level of European integration we have now, let alone any more, is well known.

Nigel Farage

Everyone has an opinion of who you are and what your relationship is about, things that you've done or didn't do in your relationship - and it's just all crap, really. Things that are written about it are all crap.

Jessica Alba

I'd skip school regularly to see movies - even in the morning, in the small Parisian theaters that opened early.

Francois Truffaut

Think of yourself as an incandescent power, illuminated and perhaps forever talked to by God and his messengers.

Brenda Ueland

Smile, damn it !! Smile.

Dame Sybil Hathaway

I protest against deference to any man, whether John Stuart Mill, or Adam Smith, or Aristotle, being allowed to check inquiry. Our science has become far too much a stagnant one, in which opinions rather than experience and reason are appealed to.

William Stanley Jevons
