It was well said by Jean Tarrou in The Plague, I think that attendance at lectures in an unknown language will help to hone one's awareness of the exceedingly slow passage of time.

Richard Lugar

Do not judge your neighbor until you walk two moons in his moccasins.

American Indian Proverb, Cheyenn

Don't order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple. Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don't know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.

George Bernard Shaw

But since you're asking me, I'll tell you my opinion: all cornbread is authentic, as long as it's good, hot, and made with love and fresh ingredients.

Jeremy Jackson

The cost of growth is always a small act of violence.

Jodi Picoult

Louis C. K.

I suppose that a lifetime spent hiding one's erotic truth could have a cumulative renunciatory effect. Sexual shame is in itself a kind of death.

Alison Bechdel

Peace is a natural effect of trade.

Charles de Montesquieu

Without courage, wisdom bears no fruit.

Baltasar Gracian

Compassion has no place in the natural order of the world which operates on the basis of necessity. Compassion opposes this order and is therefore best thought of as being in some way supernatural.

John Berger
