I do not try, Lord, to attain Your lofty heights, because my understanding is in no way equal to it. But I do desire to understand Your truth a little, that truth that my heart believes and loves. For I do not seek to understand so that I may believe; but I believe so that I may understand. For I believe this also, that unless I believe, I shall not understand.

Creativity comes from awakening and directing men's higher natures, which originate in the primal depths of the uni- verse and are appointed by Heaven.

I Ching

The physically fit can enjoy their vices.

Lord Percival

Man, even man debased by the neocapitalism and pseudosocialism of our time, is a marvelous being because he sometimes speaks. Language is the mark, the sign, not of his fall but of his original innocence. Through the Word we may regain the lost kingdom and recover powers we possessed in the far-distant past.

Octavio Paz

It's not like I sit around watching my movies again and again, but I've never quite believed actors when they say they don't watch themselves.

Kristen Stewart

Nothing is to be preferred before justice.

Socrates

In the woods is perpetual youth. In the woods we return to faith and reason.

Benjamin Franklin

I love traffic. It's fantastic. New York traffic is so relaxing.

Chris Kattan

Trust no future, however pleasant! Let the dead past bury its dead! Act -- act in the living Present! Heart within and God overhead.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

A man may feel so completely thwarted that he seeks no form of satisfaction, but only distraction and oblivion. He then becomes a devotee of pleasure. That is to say, he seeks to make life bearable by becoming less alive. Drunkenness, for example, is temporary suicide.

Bertrand Russell

The Ten Commandments were not a suggestion.

Pat Riley
