The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing.

Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.

Jean Arp

My definition of an expert in any field is a person who knows enough about what's really going on to be scared.

P. J. Plauger

This is the story of a man named Eddie and it starts at the end, with Eddie dying in the sun. It may seem strange to start a story with and ending, but all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time.

Mitch Albom

If we knew all the laws of Nature, we should need only one fact, or the description of one actual phenomenon, to infer all the particular results at that point. Now we know only a few laws, and our result is vitiated, not, of course, by any confusion or irregularity in Nature, but by our ignorance of essential elements in the calculation. Our notions of law and harmony are commonly confined to those instances which we detect; but the harmony which results from a far greater number of seemingly conflicting, but really concurring, laws, which we have not detected, is still more wonderful. The particular laws are as our points of view, as, to the traveler, a mountain outline varies with every step, and it has an infinite number of profiles, though absolutely but one form. Even when cleft or bored through it is not comprehended in its entireness.

Henry David Thoreau

For life: It is rather a determination not to be overwhelmed. For work: The truth can only be recalled, never invented.

Marilyn Monroe

The kind of truth that can be asserted by argument had lost all glamour, all lustre, for him, seeming no more now than another aspect of that ancient urge - much older than the desire for truth - to command attention, dominate one's fellows.

Barry Unsworth

In our society, the women who break down barriers are those who ignore limits.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

The technology at the leading edge changes so rapidly that you have to keep current after you get out of school. I think probably the most important thing is having good fundamentals.

Gordon Moore

There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation.

Herbert Spencer, Principles of B

I believe I've always been a big believer in equality. No one has ever been able to tell me I couldn't do something because I was a girl.

Anne Hathaway

To have great poets, there must be great audiences.

Walt Whitman

I refuse to consign the whole male sex to the nursery. I insist on believing that some men are my equals.
