Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions.

Edgar Cayce

The general knowledge of time on the island depends, curiously enough, on the direction of the wind.

John Millington Synge

Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Education is hanging around until you've caught on.

Robert Frost

I wish to be a martyr, and I don't fear death.

Muqtada al Sadr

Alan Hirsch

And although I have seen nothing but black crows in my life, it doesn't mean that there's no such thing as a white crow. Both for a philosopher and for a scientist it can be important not to reject the possibility of finding a white crow.

Henry David Thoreau

Koichi Tanaka

One describes a tale best by telling the tale. You see? The way one describes a story, to oneself or to the world, is by telling the story. It is a balancing act and it is a dream. The more accurate the map, the more it resembles the territory. The most accurate map possible would be the territory, and thus would be perfectly accurate and perfectly useless. The tale is the map that is the territory.You must remember this.

Neil Gaiman

Football strategy does not originate in a scrimmage: it is useless to expect solutions in a political campaign.
