There are no things man was not meant to know. There are, perhaps, things man is too dumb to figure out, but that's a different problem.

Absolutely the worst thing about this job is the travel and being away from family. I have a wife and three wonderful children, the kids are all active in sports and it's very difficult to up and leave and miss them growing up.

Roy Clark

A desire for privacy does not imply shameful secrets; Moglen argues, again and again, that without anonymity in discourse, free speech is impossible, and hence also democracy. The right to speak the truth to power does not shield the speaker from the consequences of doing so; only comparable power or anonymity can do that.

Nick Harkaway

Three passions simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life; the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

Bertrand Russell

The cool kindliness of sheets, that soon smooth away trouble; and the rough male kiss of blankets.

Rupert Brooke

All of my life people have thought of me as Bing Crosby's daughter. Now they'll remember me as the person who shot J.R.

Mary Crosby

I am neither of the East nor of the West, no boundaries exist within my breast.

Rumi

Certain people will be upset when you speak the truth. They might get mad. They might get really mad. That's because they are still living the lie you've exposed. Stay strong. Speak truth. Do not allow yourself to get pulled back into their lie just to make others happy and yourself miserable. You are free. Stay free.

Toni Sorenson

Constant and frequent questioning is the first key to wisdom... For through doubting we are led to inquire, and by inquiry we perceive the truth.

Peter Abelard

The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist see what he has come to see.

G. K. Chesterton

Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. I am not unmindful of the fact that violence often brings about momentary results. Nations have frequently won their independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

I had seen birth and death but had thought they were different.

T. S. Eliot

But just as delicate fare does not stop you from craving for saveloys, so tried and exquisite friendship does not take away your taste for something new and dubious.

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
