The universe is big, its vast and complicated, and ridiculous. And sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles. And that's the theory. Nine hundred years, never seen one yet, but this would do me.

One who has lost confidence can lose nothing more.

Boiste

It takes two men to make a brother.

Israel Zangwill

And in that very moment, away behind in some far corner of the city, a cock crowed. Shrill and clear he crowed reckoning nothing of wizardry or war, welcoming only the morning that in the sky far above the shadows of death was coming with the dawn.

J.R.R. Tolkien

We can't blame the technology when we make mistakes.

Tim Berners Lee

You cannot kill time without injuring eternity.

Henry David Thoreau

The Christian of the future will be a mystic or he will not exist at all.

Karl Rahner

The first principle of a free society is an untrammeled flow of words in an open forum.

Adlai Stevenson

This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live.

Omar N. Bradley

Don't forget to love yourself.

Soren Kierkegaard

The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation.

Hermann Hesse

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Simone Signoret

If everything is perfect, language is useless. This is true for animals. If animals don't speak, it's because everything's perfect for them. If one day they start to speak, it will be because the world has lost a certain sort of perfection.

Jean Baudrillard
