When my TV show, 'Sports Jobs with Junior Seau,' assigned me to be a 'Sports Illustrated' reporter for a weekend, I didn't realize I'd have to squeeze it in around another sports job. I had planned to retire from the NFL to enjoy the cushy lifestyle of a full-time reality TV star, but I wound up getting run over by a bull.

In my mind the city of Ariel is a thorn in Israel's side and a serious obstacle to peace.

Theodore Bikel

Science is fun. Science is curiosity. We all have natural curiosity. Science is a process of investigating. It's posing questions and coming up with a method. It's delving in.

Sally Ride

Reason is the cause of our falsification of the evidence of the senses. In so far as the senses show becoming, passing away, change, they do not lie.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else.

Will Rogers

Especially in the car ride to and from gym. I find myself spacing out a lot, just visualizing what the Olympics would be like and just having such great role models.

Aly Raisman

Probably went swimming and got eaten by a pineapple.

Terry Pratchett

Identity is a bag and a gag. Yet it exists for me with all the force of a fatal disease. Obviously I am here, a mind and a body. To say there's no proof my body exists would be arty and specious and if my mind is more ephemeral, less provable, the solution of being a writer with solid (touchable, tearable, burnable) books is as close as anyone has come to a perfect answer.

Judith Rossner

I, for one, bet on science as helping us. I have yet to see how it fundamentally endangers us, even with the H-bomb lurking about. Science has given us more lives than it has taken; we must remember that.

Philip K. Dick

Life is like a s--t sandwich. The more bread you eat, the less s--t you gotta take.

Peter Trudelle

It is the desire of the good people of the whole country that sectionalism as a factor in our politics should disappear...'

Rutherford B. Hayes

A great city is that which has the greatest men and women.

Walt Whitman

We are free, but not to be evil, not to be indifferent to human suffering, not to profit from the people, from the work created and sustained through their spirit of political association, while refusing to contribute to the political state that we profit from.
