- The great majority of us are required to live a life of constant, systematic duplicity. Your health is bound to be affected if, day after day, you say the opposite of what you feel, if you grovel before what you dislike and rejoice at what bring you nothing but misfortune. Our nervous system isn't just a fiction, it's part of our physical body, and our soul exists in space and is inside us, like teeth in our mouth. It can't be forever violated with impunity.
- Boris Pasternak (1890 - 1960), Doctor Zhivago
- Our memories are card indexes consulted, and then put back in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.
- Cyril Connolly (1903 - 1974)
- Equations are just the boring part of mathematics. I attempt to see things in terms of geometry.
- Stephen Hawking (1942 - )
- The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry.
- Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
- Luck, bad if not good, will always be with us. But it has a way of favoring the intelligent and showing its back to the stupid.
- John Dewey (1859 - 1952)
- There is no such thing as luck. It's a fancy name for being always at our duty, and so sure to be ready when good time comes.
- Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803 - 1873)
- Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination.
- Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
- Love is not blind - it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less.
- Rabbi Julius Gordon
- Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough. Not only have I found that when I talk to the little flower or to the little peanut they will give up their secrets, but I have found that when I silently commune with people they give up their secrets also - if you love them enough.
- George Washington Carver (1864 - 1943)
- So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.
- Krishnamurti
