That's absolutely correct and in addition to that life just isn't an accident of the laws of physics. There's a long list of experiments that suggest just the opposite.

For God's sake (I never was more serious) don't make me ridiculous any more by terming me gentle-hearted in print... substitute drunken dog, ragged head, seld-shaven, odd-eyed, stuttering, or any other epithet which truly and properly belongs to the gentleman in question.

Charles Lamb

So the whole war is because we can't talk to each other.

Orson Scott Card

The assertion that art may be good art and at the same time incomprehensible to a great number of people is extremely unjust, and its consequences are ruinous to art itself...it is the same as saying some kind of food is good but most people can't eat it.

Leo Tolstoy

Like those statues which must be made larger than nature in order that, viewed from below, or from a distance, they may appear to be of the natural size, certain truths must be strained in order that the public may form a just idea of them.

Joseph Roux

The day is committed to error and floundering; success and achievement are matters of long range

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.

Elbert Hubbard

Another thing to do with the blues is how they were recorded. They were done on the quick, and some of that stuff was made on wire, not even tape, let alone digital.

Keith Richards

I personally don't believe people really grow. They just learn stuff when they were a kid, and hold on to it, and that affects every relationship they have.

Donald Glover

Democracy is not merely a form of government. It is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience. It is essentially an attitude of respect and reverence towards fellow men.

B. R. Ambedkar

As a politician, you have to deal with someone wanting you to fail every day. I think I prefer being in a situation where generally people are rooting for me, and if they aren't rooting for me, they aren't out there to see my downfall. I respect the people who have the stomach for it.

John Legend

Time is the father of truth, its mother is our mind.

Giordano Bruno

Habits are the daughters of action, but then they nurse their mother, and produce daughters after her image, but far more beautiful and prosperous.

Jeremy Taylor
