Most of us really aren't horribly unique. There are 6 billion of us. Put 'em all in one room and very few would stand out as individuals. So maybe we ought to think of worth in terms of our ability to get along as a part of nature, rather than being the lords over nature.

There are tumults of the mind, when, like the great convulsions of Nature, all seems anarchy and returning chaos; yet often, in those moments of vast disturbance, as in the strife of Nature itself, some new principle of order, or some new impulse of conduct, develops itself, and controls, and regulates, and brings to an harmonious consequence, passions and elements which seem only to threaten despair and subversion.

William Gibson

I am a Democrat. I have been one all of my life.

Jane Byrne

I love chocolate. Black chocolate with marshmallow inside, caramel inside. If I could only have two foods, I'd take some fantastic chocolate. And some terrible chocolate. I love the Clark Bar.

Sonia Rykiel

Happiness is a Swedish sunset; it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it

Mark Twain

Getting your house in order and reducing the confusion gives you more control over your life. Personal organization some how releases or frees you to operate more effectively.

Larry King

It is a wise man who knows where courage ends and stupidity begins.

Jerome Cady

In 5 billion years, the expansion of the universe will have progressed to the point where all other galaxies will have receded beyond detection. Indeed, they will be receding faster than the speed of light, so detection will be impossible. Future civilizations will discover science and all its laws, and never know about other galaxies or the cosmic background radiation. They will inevitably come to the wrong conclusion about the universe......We live in a special time, the only time, where we can observationally verify that we live in a special time.

Lawrence M. Krauss

It is the right of our people to organize to oppose any law and any part of the Constitution with which they are not in sympathy.

Alfred E. Smith

I'm just an old hippie. You know, peace and love.

Sherman Hemsley

There was no corn -- in the wide market-place all loathliest things, even human flesh, was sold; They weighed it in small scales -- and many a face was fixed in eager horror then; his gold the miser brought; the tender maid, grown bold through hunger, bared her scorned charms in vain.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut, that held its ground.

David Icke

When things get too complicated, it sometimes makes sense to stop and wonder: Have I asked the right question?
