...Two and two are four. Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.

Hope, the best comfort of our imperfect condition.

Edward Gibbon

(World War I) was the most colossal, murderous, mismanaged butchery that has ever taken place on earth. Any writer who said otherwise lied, So the writers either wrote propaganda, shut up, or fought.

Ernest Hemingway

Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.

Zelda Fitzgerald

At bottom is the best soil to sow and grow something new again. In that sense, hitting bottom, while extremely painful, is also the sowing ground.

Anon.

My mom used to make everything. She had a great garden and composted and made everything from scratch - peanut butter, bread, jelly, everything. I don't know how she did it because all those things take time and love and labour. I only do half the stuff she does - but there's still time.

Julia Roberts

Only a fool knows everything. A wise man knows how little he knows.

Leo Tolstoy

Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.

Søren Kierkegaard

Men never do evil so fully and cheerfully as when we do it out of conscience.

Blaise Pascal

If we look at the realm of knowledge, how exceedingly small and limited is that part acquired through our own senses how wide is that we gain from other sources.

Matthew Simpson

I almost forgot what it's like to be proud of my government.

Edward Norton

When resources are degraded, we start competing for them, whether it is at the local level in Kenya, where we had tribal clashes over land and water, or at the global level, where we are fighting over water, oil, and minerals. So one way to promote peace is to promote sustainable management and equitable distribution of resources.
