There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.

I'm the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.

Bret Hart

Their dream had left me numb and cold, But yet my spirit rose in pride, Refashioning in burnished gold The images of those who died, Or were shut in the penal cell. Here's to you, Pearse, your dream not mine, But yet the thought, for this you fell, Has turned life's water into wine.

George William Russell

Dog is God spelled backward.

Duane Chapman

If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search.I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor.

Nikola Tesla

I remember I read this harsh review about my show, and one of my friends told me that this was the exact same stuff people said about Madonna. And it's like, she didn't care. Madonna just came out and was herself. I respect that a lot.

Britney Spears

What is the damnation of hell? To go with that society who have not obeyed His commands.

Joseph Smith, Jr.

Annihilation has no terrors for me, because I have already tried it before I was born --a hundred million years --and I have suffered more in an hour, in this life, than I remember to have suffered in the whole hundred million years put together. There was a peace, a serenity, an absence of all sense of responsibility, an absence of worry, an absence of care, grief, perplexity; and the presence of a deep content and unbroken satisfaction in that hundred million years of holiday which I look back upon with a tender longing and with a grateful desire to resume, when the opportunity comes.

Mark Twain

Even our fears make us feel important, because we fear we might not be.

Terry Pratchett

Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.

Fr, Essays on Political Economy

Men are more evanescent than pictures, yet one sorrows for lost friends, and pictures are my friends. I have none others. I am never long enough with men to attach myself to them; and whatever feelings of attachment I have are to material things.

John Ruskin

People who know and love the same books you do have the road map of your soul. I believe that.

Cassandra Clare

The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
