To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.
John RuskinEducation is important because it prepares you for life.
Bad BunnyThe truth is lived, not taught.
Hermann HesseNo other planet in the solar system is a suitable home for human beings; it’s this world or nothing. That’s a very powerful perception.
Carl SaganThe history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.
William JamesI don’t notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.
Vivienne WestwoodMy faith helps me understand that circumstances don’t dictate my happiness, my inner peace.
Denzel WashingtonStates are not moral agents.
Noam ChomskyIt now appears that the way the universe began can indeed be determined, using imaginary time.
Stephen HawkingIf you have the chance to be exposed to a loving, understanding environment where the seed of compassion, loving kindness, can be watered every day, then you become a more loving person.
Thich Nhat HanhThe first lesson a revolutionary must learn is that he is a doomed man.
Huey NewtonWe are an impossibility in an impossible universe.
Ray BradburyIf one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool.
Carl JungGravitation is, so far, not understandable in terms of other phenomena.
Richard P. FeynmanNobody is as powerful as we make them out to be.
Alice WalkerGod is a concept by which we measure our pain.
John LennonI don’t really care how the Patriots are perceived, truthfully. I really don’t. I really don’t. Look, if you’re a fan of our team, you root for us, you believe in our team, and you believe in what we’re trying to accomplish. If you’re not a fan of us, you have a different opinion.
Tom BradyWhy do I not seek some real good; one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
Lucius Annaeus SenecaYou can see neurosis from below – as a sickness – as most psychiatrists see it. Or you can understand it as a compassionate man might: respecting the neurosis as a fumbling and inefficient effort toward good ends.
Abraham MaslowThere’s this lingering philosophy that movie stars shouldn’t do TV.
Dwayne JohnsonNo man ever quite believes in any other man. One may believe in an idea absolutely, but not in a man.
H. L. MenckenWhatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!
William JamesI think perhaps the most important problem is that we are trying to understand the fundamental workings of the universe via a language devised for telling one another when the best fruit is.
Terry PratchettSome scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.
Frank ZappaHe who is not just is severe, he who is not wise is sad.
VoltaireHaving nothing, nothing can he lose.
William ShakespeareAlmost everything that distinguishes the modern world from earlier centuries is attributable to science, which achieved its most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century.
Bertrand RussellScience is the captain, and practice the soldiers.
Leonardo da VinciMisfortune seldom intrudes upon the wise man; his greatest and highest interests are directed by reason throughout the course of life.
EpicurusA human being would certainly not grow to be seventy or eighty years old if this longevity had no meaning for the species. The afternoon of human life must also have a significance of its own and cannot be merely a pitiful appendage to life’s morning.
Carl JungScience without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
Albert EinsteinIt is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It’s called living.
Terry PratchettKnowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheMeaning and reality were not hidden somewhere behind things, they were in them, in all of them.
Hermann HesseIt is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.
Blaise PascalThe moment a person forms a theory, his imagination sees in every object only the traits which favor that theory.
Thomas JeffersonThey say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.
Emily DickinsonEvery man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world’s phenomena intersect, only once in this way, and never again.
Hermann HesseOnly when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

Niccolo MachiavelliThe whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.
Albert EinsteinDoubt grows with knowledge.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheOnly that day dawns to which we are awake.
Henry David ThoreauNo evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death. He and his are not neglected by the gods.
SocratesEvolution was far more thrilling to me than the biblical account. Who would not rather be a rising ape than a falling angel? To my juvenile eyes, Darwin was proved true every day. It doesn’t take much to make us flip back into monkeys again.
Terry PratchettPart of what confuses people in times of upheaval is that you’re getting so many different points of view and directions and so and so, how to do this and do that. And a lot of it is written in a language that honestly most people cannot understand.
Alice WalkerBefore I lost my voice, it was slurred, so only those close to me could understand, but with the computer voice, I found I could give popular lectures. I enjoy communicating science. It is important that the public understands basic science, if they are not to leave vital decisions to others.
Stephen HawkingIt is the heart always that sees, before the head can see.
Thomas CarlyleWe are doomed to cling to a life even while we find it unendurable.
William JamesI don’t go down the road of condemning.
Joel OsteenIt disturbs me no more to find men base, unjust, or selfish than to see apes mischievous, wolves savage, or the vulture ravenous.
Jean-Paul SartreScience is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamIt seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.
John SteinbeckThe man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them.
Mark TwainIn England, an inventor is regarded almost as a crazy man, and in too many instances, invention ends in disappointment and poverty. In America, an inventor is honoured, help is forthcoming, and the exercise of ingenuity, the application of science to the work of man, is there the shortest road to wealth.
Oscar WildeScience is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.
Stephen HawkingWe cannot learn from one another until we stop shouting at one another – until we speak quietly enough so that our words can be heard as well as our voices.
Richard M. NixonHave you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?
George Carlin
