I think it's harder for people than it should be. But as more and more of us become carbon neutral and change the patterns in our lives to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem, we are now beginning to see the changes in policy that are needed.

If one asks the whence derives the authority of fundamental ends, since they cannot be stated and justified merely by reason, one can only answer: they exist in a healthy society as powerful traditions, which act upon the conduct and aspirations and judgments of the individuals; they are there, that is, as something living, without its being necessary to find justification for their existence.

Albert Einstein

We had periodic crises in this country when the technical intelligence didn't support the policy. We had the bomber gap, the missile gap.

Aldrich Ames

If, indeed, a firearm were more dangerous to its possessors than to potential aggressors, would it not make sense for the government to arm all criminals, and let them accidentally shoot themselves? Is this absurd? Yes, and yet the government, of course, is arming criminals.

David Mamet

As a microbiologist, I am particularly concerned with Mr. Bush's blatant disregard for science.

Louise Slaughter

It is madness for sheep to talk peace with a wolf.

Thomas Fuller

Experience is the teacher of all things.

Julius Caesar

Nowadays love is a matter of chance, matrimony a matter of money and divorce a matter of course.

Helen Rowland

I am older than you. Believe me, there is no other way to live on earth. Men are not open to truth or reason. They cannot be reached by a rational argument. The mind is powerless against them. Yet we have to deal with them. If we want to accomplish anything, we have to deceive them into letting us accomplish it. Or force them. They understand nothing else. We cannot expect their support for any endeavor of the intellect, for any goal of the spirit. They are nothing but vicious animals. They are greedy, self-indulgent, predatory dollar-chasers

Ayn Rand

It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.

Epicurus

We must love one another or die.

W. H. Auden

What I say is, a town isn't a town without a bookstore. It may call itself a town, but unless it's got a bookstore it knows it's not fooling a soul.

Neil Gaiman

Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Mahatma Gandhi
