I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.

Reading a novel in which all characters illustrate patience, hard work, chastity, and delayed gratification could be a pretty dull experience.

Science is a cemetery of dead ideas.

Miguel de Unamuno

Where faith is there is courage, there is fortitude, there is steadfastness and strength... Faith bestows that sublime courage that rises superior to the troubles and disappointments of life, that acknowledges no defeat except as a step to victory; that is strong to endure, patient to wait, and energetic to struggle... Light up, then, the lamp of faith in your heart... It will lead you safely through the mists of doubt and the black darkness of despair; along the narrow, thorny ways of sickness and sorrow, and over the treacherous places of temptation and uncertainty.

James Allen

Natasha Henstridge

Life is absurd

Albert Camus

A youth with his first cigar makes himself sick; a youth with his first girl makes everybody sick.

Mary Little

Tom Landry

You will find her manners beyond anything I can describe; and your wit and vivacity, I think, must be acceptable to her, especially when tempered with the silence and respect which her rank will inevitably excite.

Jane Austen

If you believe in science you must have a rather strong faith.

Walter Veith

Alas! how little does the memory of these human inhabitants enhance the beauty of the landscape!

Henry David Thoreau

Failure or success seem to have been allotted to men by their stars. But they retain the power of wriggling, of fighting with their star or against it, and in the whole universe the only really interesting movement is this wriggle.

E. M. Forster, "repr. In Abinger
