As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn't make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting -- the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.

The overall view of the human genome project has been one of great excitement and positive press, but there are people who have concerns that are quite reasonable, and they are frightened of things they don't understand.

Thomas R. Cech

I'm convinced that Theoretical Physicist is just another way of saying BS Artist.

J.C. Cassels

The negative patterns that form as a result of this self defeating behaviour actually symbolize the negative belief that we nurture.

Stephen Richards

The further through life I drift the more obvious it becomes that I am lacking in thrift.

Ogden Nash

I had no accomplishments except surviving. But that isn't enough in the community where I came from, because everybody was doing it. So I wasn't prepared for America, where everybody is glowing with good teeth and good clothes and food.

Frank McCourt

Most people live their life around what other people do.

Tom Scholz

And still, for all the jealously, all the doubt, sometimes I will be struck with a kind of awe that we're together. That someone like me could find someone like you --- it renders me wordless. Because surely words would conspire against such luck, would protest the unlikelihood of such a turn of events.

David Levithan

This change to a higher phase of alert is a signal to governments, to ministries of health and other ministries, to the pharmaceutical industry and the business community that certain actions now should be undertaken with increased urgency and at an accelerated pace.

Margaret Chan

I met Woz when I was 13, at a friend's garage. He was about 18. He was, like, the first person I met who knew more electronics than I did at that point. We became good friends, because we shared an interest in computers and we had a sense of humor. We pulled all kinds of pranks together.

Steve Jobs

He is armed without who is innocent within, be this thy screen, and this thy wall of brass.

Horace

There's stuff I don't like to rehearse, really emotional things, I don't like to rehearse. You just beat it to death.

Kat Dennings

I believe home is where the heart can be open and loving with a sense of security. It must not be a place of fear.
