- Sleep is lovely, death is better still, not to have been born is of course the miracle.
- Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
- War is like love; it always finds a way.
- Bertolt Brecht (1898 - 1956)
- Whosover loveth wisdom is righteous, but he that keepeth company with fowl is weird.
- Woody Allen (1935 - ), "Without Feathers"
- I love children, especially when they cry, for then someone takes them away.
- Nancy Mitford
- Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.
- H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
- O words of love, O words divine!
The silver thought, the golden line! Of all men's words, there's none so fine, As these three words: 'I've got mine!' - Hagar the Horrible
- I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of "Admin." The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid "dens of crime" that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern.
- C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963)
- There was a blithe certainty that came from first comprehending the full Einstein field equations, arabesques of Greek letters clinging tenuously to the page, a gossamer web. They seemed insubstantial when you first saw them, a string of squiggles. Yet to follow the delicate tensors as they contracted, as the superscripts paired with subscripts, collapsing mathematically into concrete classical entities-- potential; mass; forces vectoring in a curved geometry-- that was a sublime experience. The iron fist of the real, inside the velvet glove of airy mathematics.
- Gregory Benford - Timescape
- I love the women's movement...especially when I'm walking behind it.
- Rush Limbaugh
- Why should we think upon things that are lovely? Because thinking determines life. It is a common habit to blame life upon the environment. Environment modifies life but does not govern life. The soul is stronger than its surroundings.
- William James (1842 - 1910)
