I have no wisdom to share on dating.

When people are very quotable, it can make it harder to listen to what they actually have to say.

Maciej Cegłowski

He would make a good lamp post if he'd weather better and didn't have to eat.

Kurt Vonnegut

You leave old habits behind by starting out with the thought, 'I release the need for this in my life'.

Wayne Dyer

What bugs me is that movies don't reflect how interesting and vibrant women are. We don't treasure women as they get older.

Jill Clayburgh

I have, all my life long, been lying till noon; yet I tell all young men, and tell them with great sincerity, that nobody who does not rise early will ever do any good.

Samuel Johnson

The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that man may become robots.

Erich Fromm

You are, at this moment, standing, right in the middle of your own acres of diamonds.

Earl Nightingale

After the cheers have died down and the stadium is empty, after the headlines have been written and after you are back in the quiet of your room and the championship ring has been placed on the dresser and all the pomp and fanfare has faded, the enduring things that are left are: the dedication to excellence, the dedication to victory, and the dedication to doing with our lives the very best we can to make the world a better place in which to live.

Vince Lombardi

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

William A. Foster

Morality's not practical. Morality's a gesture. A complicated gesture learnt from books.

Pierre de Coubertin

For those scientists who take it seriously, Darwinian evolution has functioned more as a philosophical belief system than as a testable scientific hypothesis. This quasi-religious function of the theory is, I think, what lies behind many of the extreme statements that you have doubtless encountered from some scientists opposing any critical analysis of neo-Darwinism in the classroom. It is also why many scientists make public statements about the theory that they would not defend privately to other scientists like me.
