Results from Classic Quotes:

Read not books alone, but men, and amongst them chiefly thyself. If thou find anything questionable there, use the commentary of a severe friend rather than the gloss of a sweet lipped flatterer; there is more profit in a distasteful truth than in deceitful sweetness.: Francis Quarles (1592 - 1644)
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

Anger is brittle fire that consumes and breaks whatever it engulfs.: Tish Grier, love and hope and sex and dreams, 09-25-06
A poet must need be before his own age, to be even with posterity.: James Russell Lowell (1819 - 1891)
Seeing, contrary to popular wisdom, isn't believing. It's where belief stops, because it isn't needed any more.: Terry Pratchett, Pyramids
