Had they not been taken, she asked, to circuses when they were children? Never, he answered, as if she asked the very thing he wanted; had been longing all these days to say, how they did not go to circuses.

All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.

Albert Einstein

We can grow crops less expensively because molecular manufacturing technology is inherently low cost.

Ralph Merkle

Vincent Gallo

Bear patiently with a rival.

Ovid

Roger Ebert

Hope is a waking dream.

Aristotle

Henry Louis Gates

I love the old Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly movies they're so beautiful to look at. It's such a shame we don't make them anymore. Although, I don't know how you could make tap dancing current and topical.

Jamie Bell

I feel that the Christian experience and the Jewish one have much to give each other. If this open society continues and there is no return to political anti-Semitism, then this encounter, deeper than any theology, may happen.
