If the world is to be understood, if we are to avoid such logical paradoxes when traveling at high speeds, there are some rules, commandments of Nature, that must be obeyed. Einstein codified these rules in the special theory of relativity. Light (reflected or emitted) from an object travels at the same velocity whether the object is moving or stationary: Thou shalt not add thy speed to the speed of light. Also, no material object may move faster than light: Thou shalt not travel at or beyond the speed of light. Nothing in physics prevents you from traveling as close to the speed of light as you like; 99.9 percent of the speed of light would be just fine. But no matter how hard you try, you can never gain that last decimal point. For the world to be logically consistent there must be a cosmic speed limit. Otherwise, you could get to any speed you wanted by adding velocities on a moving platform.

But I think it's quite clear in my work that my orientation isn't political or doesn't come out of modern politics.

Jane Campion

If you believe in yourself anything is possible.

Miley Cyrus

People see I am a mother and head of a household. Today in Chile, one-third of households are run by women. They wake up, take the children to school, go to work. To them I am hope.

Michelle Bachelet

My prayer is that God give me no longer life than I shall be glad to use mine office in edification, and not in destruction.

Thomas Cromwell

Life is given to you like a flat piece of land and everything has to be done. I hope that when I am finished, my piece of land will be a beautiful garden, so there is a lot of work.

Jeanne Moreau

We may not always agree with every one of our neighbors. That's life. And it's part of living in such a diverse and dense city. But we also recognize that part of being a New Yorker is living with your neighbors in mutual respect and tolerance. It was exactly that spirit of openness and acceptance that was attacked on 9/11, 2001.

Michael Bloomberg

The rare few, who, early in life have rid themselves of the friendship of the many.

James Whistler

Bagel in the morning is the ultimate breakfast for me they're just good.

Lee DeWyze

Laughter on American television has taken the place of the chorus in Greek tragedy. In other countries, the business of laughing is left to the viewers. Here, their laughter is put on the screen, integrated into the show. It is the screen that is laughing and having a good time. You are simply left alone with your consternation.

Jean Baudrillard

Train everyone lavishly, you can't overspend on training.

Thomas J. Peters

Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth.

Blaise Pascal

Original thought is like original sin: both happened before you were born to people you could not have possibly met.
