The faults of the burglar are the qualities of the financier: the manners and habits of a duke would cost a city clerk his situation.

George Bernard Shaw

It was love, she thought, love that never clutch its object; but, like the love which mathematicians bear their symbols, or poets their phrases, was meant to be spread over the world and become part of human gain. The world by all means should have shared it, could Mr Bankes have said why that woman pleased him so; why the sight of her reading a fairy tale to her boy had upon him precisely the same effect as the solution of a scientific problem.

Virginia Woolf

H. G. Bissinger

When you notice something clearly and see it vividly, it then becomes sacred.

Allen Ginsberg

Rocket scientists agree that we have about reached the limit of our ability to travel in space using chemical rockets. To achieve anything near the speed of light we will need a new energy source and a new propellant. Nuclear fission is not an option.

Wilson Greatbatch

Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed.

Robert H. Schuller

The business of America is business.

Calvin Coolidge

Jesus wept; Voltaire smiled. From that divine tear and from that human smile is derived the grace of present civilization.

Victor Hugo
