Upon the education of the people of this country the fate of this country depends.

Knowing who in fact we are results in Good Being, and Good Being results in the most appropriate kind of good doing. But good doing does not of itself result in Good Being. We can be virtuous without knowing who in fact we are. The beings who are merely good are not Good Beings; they are just pillars of society.

Aldous Huxley

You don't learn style from watching people on a runway. Fashion happens every morning when you wake up.

Shalom Harlow

It is idleness that creates impossibilities; and where people don't care to do anything, they shelter themselves under a permission that it cannot be done.

Bishop Robert South

The world spends $40 billion a year on pet food.

Nicholas D. Kristof

In this world one is seldom reduced to make a selection between two alternatives. There are as many varieties of conduct and opinion as there are turns of feature between an aquiline nose and a flat one.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Raphael paints wisdom; Handel sings it, Phidias carves it, Shakespeare writes it, Wren builds it, Columbus sails it, Luther preaches it, Washington arms it, Watt mechanizes it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

They can because they think they can.

Virgil

How could man rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men?

Lao Tzu

I do love science fiction, but it's not really a genre unto itself it always seems to merge with another genre. With the few movies I've done, I've ended up playing with genre in some way or another, so any genre that's made to mix with others is like candy to me. It allows you to use big, mythic situations to talk about ordinary things.

Rian Johnson

I was always good at math and science, and I never realized that that was unusual or somehow undesirable.

Marissa Mayer

Genius is always allowed some leeway, once the hammer has been pried from its hands and the blood has been cleaned up.

Terry Pratchett

The word courage - God, I love that word. Words are so important to me.

Peter Fonda
