Use your lives wisely, my friends, and conserve these precious freedoms for future generations.

It is better to go skiing and think of God, than go to church and think of sport.

Fridtjof Nansen

Evolution is gaining the psychic zones of the world... life, being and ascent of consciousness, could not continue to advance indefinitely along its line without transforming itself in depth.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Many of my books come from what if questions that I can't answer, things that I'm worried about as either a woman, a wife, a mom, an American.

John Malkovich

In endowing us with memory, nature has revealed to us a truth utterly unimaginable to the unreflective creation, the truth of immortality. The most ideal human passion is love, which is also the most absolute and animal and one of the most ephemeral.

George Santayana

It is because Humanity has never known where it was going that it has been able to find its way.

Oscar Wilde
