Results from Classic Quotes:

There is such a thing as a man being too proud to fight; there is such a thing as a nation being so right that it does not need to convince others by force that it is right.: Woodrow Wilson (1856 - 1924), Speech in Philadelphia, May 10, 1915
I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.: Kurt Vonnegut (1922 - 2007), Timequake, 1997
It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.: George Harrison (1943 - 2001)
If we aren't capable of being hurt we aren't capable of feeling joy.: Madeleine L'Engle (1918 - )
Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings. (Dort, wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen): Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856), From his play Almansor (1821)
Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.: Milan Kundera (1929 - ), The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Unique among the nations, America recognized the source of our character as being godly and eternal, not being civic and temporal. And because we have understood that our source is eternal, America has been different. We have no king but Jesus.: John Ashcroft (1942 - )
There's a dark side to each and every human soul. We wish we were Obi-Wan Kenobi, and for the most part we are, but there's a little Darth Vader in all of us. Thing is, this ain't no either or proposition. We're talking about dialectics, the good and the bad merging into us. You can run but you can't hide. My experience? Face the darkness, stare it down. Own it. As brother Nietzsche said, being human is a complicated gig. Give that old dark night of the soul a hug! Howl the eternal yes!: Stuart Stevens, Northern Exposure, Jules et Joel, 1991
Men are confused. They're conflicted. They want a woman who's their intellectual equal, but they're afraid of women like that. They want a woman they can dominate, but then they hate her for being weak. It's an ambivalence that goes back to a man's relationship with his mother. Source of his life, center of his universe, object of both his fear and his love.: Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Cicely, 1992
I won't change anything because I think the most important thing is being yourself and that's what I'm going to continue to do.: Avril Lavigne
