Wherever the relevance of speech is at stake, matters become political by definition, for speech is what makes man a political being.

Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.

John Updike

SIN: Self-Inflicted Nonsense

Eric Butterworth

The sense of paralysis proceeds not so much out of the mammoth size of the problem but out of the puniness of the purpose.

Norman Cousins

And I love doing what I'm doing and I'd get out of it if I hated it that much. I've said it many times before: There are much worse problems in the world, people dealing with things that are phenomenally more complicated.

Leonardo DiCaprio

Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire: well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for anot...her world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing. If that is so, I must take care, on the one hand, never to despise, or be unthankful for, these earthly blessings, and on the other, never to mistake them for the something else of which they are only a kind of copy, or echo, or mirage. I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find until after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that other country and to help others do the same.

C.S. Lewis

Life, in my estimation, is a biological misadventure that we terminate on the shoulders of six strange men whose only objective is to make a hole in one with you.

Fred A. Allen

I do benefits for all religions -- I'd hate to blow the hereafter on a technicality.

Bob Hope

They often say, What's the point in astrology if you can't change your destiny?. Well, it's true that you can't change your destiny, but still it helps knowing about gravity.

Kedar Joshi

Always obey your parents when they are present.

Mark Twain

However firmly thou holdest to thy opinions, if truth appears on the opposite side, throw down thy arms at once.

John Lancaster Spalding

Time is the most valuable coin in your life. You and you alone will determine how that coin will be spent. Be careful that you don't let other people spend it for you.

John Dryden

On George Bernard Shaw An excellent man: he has no enemies, and none of his friends like him.

Oscar Wilde
