A wise woman never yields by appointment. It should always be an unforeseen happiness.

Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs one hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate... but with his other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins.

Franz Kafka

I love like a leaf in the wind. Please, hold your applause until the end of the performance (the last day of fall). ?

Jarod Kintz

M. C. Mcintosh

That was my first lesson from Ben-Gurion. Then I saw him making peace, and I saw him making war. He mobilized me before the war. The man was a very rare combination between a real intellectual and a born leader. There is a contradiction between the two.

Shimon Peres

Whatever you value, be committed to it and let nothing distract you from this goal. The uncommitted life, like Plato’s unexamined life, is not worth living.

Theodore Hesburgh

Men are happy to be laughed at for their humor, but not for their folly.

Jonathan Swift
