This quote emphasizes the importance of active participation in the learning process.
The younger and healthier a woman is and the more her new and glossy body seems destined for eternal freshness, the less useful is artifice; but the carnal weakness of this prey that man takes and its ominous deterioration always have to be hidden from him...In any case, the more traits and proportions of a woman seem contrived, the more she delighted the heart of man because she seemed to escape the metamorphosis of natural things. The result is this strange paradox that by desiring to grasp nature, but transfigured, in woman, man destines her to artifice.
Simone de Beauvoir
L'inferno e il paradiso sono tutti e due dentro di noi.
Oscar Wilde
If I don't have wisdom, I can teach you only ignorance.

When the management iceberg is shaped like a huge phallus, you know that there are a lot of tossers that the top penguin has had to climb over to reach the tip and that there is no shortage of the same caliber of penguin in the balls and shaft of the corporation, just waiting for their chance to get a spurt to the top. Should I sugar coat this a little more? or tell it like it is?
Daniel Prokop
At the bottom of the heart of every human being, from earliest infancy until the tomb, there is something that goes on indomitably expecting, in the teeth of all experience of crimes committed, suffered, and witnessed, that good and not evil will be done
Simone Weil
You always look on the dark side of life. I believe in capturing the moment...Joy is so fleeting. You never know when it might be snatched away.

I don't have the feeling of being motivated by anger, revenge or frustration.

Where there is an open mind, there will always be a frontier.
Dorothea Brande
I tried to change the world, but I was outnumbered.
Source Unknown
I am constantly thankful. The world is so beautiful, I am thankful. I have endless energy, I am thankful. I am plugged into the source of Universal Supply, I am thankful. I am plugged into the source of Universal Truth, I am thankful. I have this constant feeling of thankfulness, which is a prayer.
Peace Pilgrim
Young people are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for counsel and more fit for new projects than for settled business.
Francis Bacon
The liberals can understand everything but people who don't understand them.
