Our task is not to rediscover nature but to remake it.

It was the pure Language of the World. It required no explanation, just as the universe needs none as it travels through endless time. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the same thing. He was more certain of it than of anything in the world. He had been told by his parents and grandparents that he must fall in love and really know a person before becoming committed. But maybe people who felt that way had never learned the universal language. Because, when you know that language, it's easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it's in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.

Paulo Coelho

Only he who believes is obedient and only he who is obedient believes.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Men who borrow their opinions can never repay their debts.

Edward F. Halifax

People are so afraid of authority figures and doctors are authority figures.

Martha Beck

Knowledge is the eye of desire and can become the pilot of the soul.

Will Durant

But Roy Rockwood, it was science fiction for the sake of science fiction.

Jack Vance

In science men have discovered an activity of the very highest value in which they are no longer, as in art, dependent for progress upon the appearance of continually greater genius, for in science the successors stand upon the shoulders of their predecessors; where one man of supreme genius has invented a method, a thousand lesser men can apply it.

Bertrand Russell

This band has never had an argument. It's just amazing.

Dave Edmunds

If I could put my hand on the north star, would it be as beautiful? The sea is lovely, but when we bathe in it, the beauty forsakes all the near water. For the imagination and senses cannot be gratified at the same time.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thou shalt not submit thy god to market forces.

Terry Pratchett

What I did not yet know so intensely was the hatred of the white American for the black, a hatred so deep that I wonder if every white man in this country, when he plants a tree, doesn't see Negroes hanging from its branches.

Jean Genet

A malignant sore throat is a danger, a malignant throat not sore is worse.
