To him who, though by no means near the end, is yet advancing, He is the way; to him who has put off all that is dead He is the life.

We did not learn how to feel or experience our bodies, how to appreciate our own strengths, how to value or respect or understand the packages we came in. Instead, we learned how to look at them, to pair sexuality with desirability, to measure the worth of our bodies by their capacity to elicit admiration from others.

Caroline Knapp

We know what we are, but know now what we may be.

William Shakespeare

We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band.

Joan Jett

I've always been a big fan of time travel, and I'm very into the notion that some day we'll be able to do it. Beam me up!

Scott Bakula

I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.

Albert Einstein

I'm more inclined to linger in the science pages of 'The Week' magazine. But my principle obsessions are still watching sitcoms and football.

Alan Davies

Of course that is not the whole story, but that is the way with stories; we make them what we will. It's a way of explaining the universe while leaving the universe unexplained, it's a way of keeping it all alive, not boxing it into time.

Jeanette Winterson

Such young unfurrowed souls roll to meet each other like two velvet peaches that touch softly and are at rest; they mingle as easily as two brooklets that ask for nothing but to entwine themselves and ripple with ever-interlacing curves in the leafiest hiding-places.

George Eliot

Take a dollar from a thousand and it will be a thousand no more.

Oliver Goldsmith

God screens us evermore from premature ideas.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is a silence, the child of love, which expresses everything, and proclaims more loudly than the tongue is able to do.

William Drummond

The thinker dies, but his thoughts are beyond the reach of destruction. Men are mortal, but ideas are immortal.

William Lippmann
