Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.

Karl Marx

Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads, which sew people together through the years.

Simone Signoret

God not only loves the obedient - He enlightens them.

Henry B. Eyring

Those who consciousness is unified abandon all attachment to the results of action and attain supreme peace. But those whose desires are fragmented, who are selfishly attached to the results of their work, are bound in everything they do.

Bhagavad Gita

What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be.

Steve Jobs

The being who, for most men, is the source of the most lively, and even, be it said, to the shame of philosophical delights, the most lasting joys; the being towards or for whom all their efforts tend for whom and by whom fortunes are made and lost; for whom, but especially by whom, artists and poets compose their most delicate jewels; from whom flow the most enervating pleasures and the most enriching sufferings -- woman, in a word, is not, for the artist in general... only the female of the human species. She is rather a divinity, a star.

Charles Baudelaire

Speak clearly, if you speak at all; carve every word before you let it fall.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

The greatest enemy of any one of our truths may be the rest of our truths.

William James

In my youth I stressed freedom, and in my old age I stress order. I have made the great discovery that liberty is a product of order.

Will Durant

Beauty can't amuse you, but brainwork - reading, writing, thinking - can.

Helen Gurley Brown
