Today's preoccupation with physical theories of everything takes a wrong turn from the purpose of science - to question all things relentlessly. Modern physics has become like Swift's kingdom of Laputa, flying absurdly on an island above the earth and indifferent to what is beneath.

Žmogus silpnas, tod?l visada bando nuo sav?s nusl?pti didži?j? Mirties ties?. Jis nesuvokia, jog tiktai ji skatina gyvenime atlikti pa?ius didžiausius darbus. Žmogus bijo nuklysti ? tams?, j? siaubingai g?sdina nežinomyb?, ir t? baim? ?manoma ?veikti tik nepamirštant, kad jo dienos suskai?iuotos. Žmogus nesupranta, jog, susitaik?s su Mirtimi, sugeb?t? ryžtis didesniems darbams, pasiekti nepalyginamai didesni? pergali? savo kasdien?je kovoje, nes neturi ko prarasti - Mirtis neišvengiama.

Paulo Coelho

I was very fortunate that I saved my money and I still do.

Rod Stewart

Then hail! thou noble conqueror! That, when tyranny oppressed, hewed for our fathers from the wild. A land wherein to rest.

Mary Elizabeth Hewitt

Consciously or unconsciously, everyone of us does render some service or another. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and it will make not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large.

Mahatma Gandhi

The opportunity for doing mischief is found a hundred times a day, and of doing good once in a year.

Voltaire

Whether you're winning or losing, it is important to always be yourself. You can't change because of the circumstances around you.

Cotton Fitzsimmons

Whoever envies another confesses his superiority

Samuel Johnson

There are only two pieces of pussy you're gonna get in your entire life, that's your first and your last.

Richard Pryor

In America the majority raises formidable barriers around the liberty of opinion; within these barriers an author may write what he pleases, but woe to him if he goes beyond them.

Alexis de Tocqueville

I've seen a lot of movies get made where no one has control. No one likes it.

Seth Rogen

Clinical experience has indicated that where a child has been exposed early in his live to episodes of physical violence, whether he himself is the victim or ... the witness, he will often later demonstrate similar outbursts of uncontrollable rage and violence of his own. Aggression becomes an easy outlet through which the child's frustrations and tensions flow, not just because of a simple matter of learning that can be just as simply unlearned, not just because he is imitating a bad behavior model and can be taught to imitate something more constructive, but because these traumatic experiences have overwhelmed him. His own emotional development is too immature to withstand the crippling inner effects of outer violence. Something happens to the child's character, to his sense of reality, to the development of his controls against impulses that may not later be changed easily but which may lead to reactions that in turn provoke more reactions - one or more of which may be criminal. Then society reacts against him for what he did, but more for what all of us have done - unpleasantly - to one another. Upon him is laid the iniquity of us all...

Karl Menninger, The Crime of Pun

I have three kids who like Harry Potter so I was sort of aware of it. You can't really move from it: it's on buses, in stores, it's everywhere. One of my kids has read the books the other two are too small but they like the movies.
