Une religion, par exemple, qui doit être transformée en savoir historique, une religion qui doit être étudiée de part en part scientifiquement, une fois cette étape franchie, sera par l? même détruite. Toute vérificatiuon historique amène au jour tant de choses fausses, grossières, inhumaines, absurdes, violentes que, forcément, se dissipe l'atmosphère d'illusion pieuse où tout ce qui a le désir de vivre peut seul prospérer.Deuxième Considération intempestive, ch. 7

I don't think that women need to smell interesting.

Lady Gaga

Watch out for intellect,because it knows so much it knows nothingand leaves you hanging upside down,mouthing knowledge as your heartfalls out of your mouth.

Anne Sexton

In these dangerous times, where it seems the world is ripping apart at the seams, we can all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day, and we should reach out to each other and bond as a community, rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium.

Jonathan Larson

The very greatest things - great thoughts, discoveries, inventions - have usually been nurtured in hardship, often pondered over in sorrow, and at length established with difficulty.

Samuel Smiles

The path for you is chosen by you.

Val Edward Simone

I think it is most important for a teacher to play the pieces and studies that are being played by the student.

James Galway

The improvement of understanding is for two ends: first, our own increase of knowledge secondly, to enable us to deliver that knowledge to others.

John Locke

Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.

Henry Fielding

We were alone. Where, I could not say, hardly imagine. All was black, and such a dense black that, after some minutes, my eyes had not been able to discern even the faintest glimmer.

Jules Verne

Whether you come from a council estate or a country estate, your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude.

Michelle Obama

Left-wing politicians take away your liberty in the name of children and of fighting poverty, while right-wing politicians do it in the name of family values and fighting drugs. Either way, government gets bigger and you become less free.

Harry Browne

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.

Kahlil Gibran
