He who considers disease results to be the disease itself, and expects to do away with these as diseases, is insane. It is an insanity in medicine, an insanity that has grown out of the milder forms of mental disorder in science, crazy whims.

James Tyler Kent

A totalitarian state is in effect a theocracy, and its ruling caste, in order to keep its position, has to be thought of as infallible. But since, in practice, no one is infallible, it is frequently necessary to rearrange past events in order to show that this or that mistake was not made, or that this or that imaginary triumph actually happened.

George Orwell

The physical part of comedy is as hard as a lot of action movies. It scares me, but in a way that I like.

Rachel McAdams

Who has not felt the beauty of a woman's arm? The unspeakable suggestions of tenderness that lie in the dimpled elbow, and all the varied gently-lessening curves, down to the delicate wrist, with its tiniest, almost imperceptible nicks in the firm softness.

George Eliot

Religion is the state of being grasped by an ultimate concern, a concern which qualifies all other concerns as preliminary and which itself contains the answer to the question of a meaning of our life.

Paul Tillich

Are you angry that others disappoint you? remember you cannot depend upon yourself

Benjamin Franklin

I'm not sure I have the physical strength to undertake a novel.

Joan Didion

The want of logic annoys. Too much logic bores. Life eludes logic, and everything that logic alone constructs remains artificial and forced.

Andre Gide

It's amazing how quickly people on the internet can pick something up, but it's also amazing how quickly they can drop it.

Tim Berners Lee

Those expressions are omitted which can not with propriety be read aloud in the family.

Thomas Bowdler

Music rhythms are mathematical patterns. When you hear a song and your body starts moving with it, your body is doing math. The kids in their parents' garage practicing to be a band may not realize it, but they're also practicing math.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

The god of Victory is said to be one-handed, but Peace gives victory to both sides.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
