| Quote:We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.[Gene Roddenberry] Quote:Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:Whenever a man's friends begin to compliment him about looking young, he may be sure that they think he is growing old.[Victor Hugo] Quote:Willing is not enough; we must do. Knowing is not enough; we must apply.[Bruce Lee] Quote:Half of maturity consists of knowing when and how to be immature.[Chris Bowyer] Quote:Love is agrowing, to full constant light; and his first minute, after noon, is night.[John Donne] Quote:Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.[Siddhartha Buddha] Quote:I don't know what the new Ford will be called. Probably something like the 'Ford Untamed Wilderness Adventure.' In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[Dave Barry] Quote:I have not felt remotely cool for a long time, thanks largely to the relentless efforts of my teenage son, whose goal in life is to make me feel 3,500 years old. We'll be in the car, and he'll say, 'You wanna hear my new CD?' And I, flattered that he thinks his old man might like the same music he does, will say 'Sure!' So he increases the sound-system volume setting from '4' to 'Meteor Impact,' and he puts in a CD by a band with a name like 'Pustule,' and the next thing I know gigantic nuclear bass notes have blown out all the car windows and activated both the driver- and passenger-side air bags, and I'm writhing on the floor, screaming for mercy with jets of blood spurting three feet from my ears. My son then ejects the CD, smiling contentedly, knowing he as purchased a winner. On those extremely rare occasions when I like one of his CDs, I imagine he destroys it with a blowtorch.[Dave Barry] Quote:Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.[GK Chesterton] Quote:The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.[Socrates] Quote:The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:It is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light, and certainly not desirable, as one's hat keeps blowing off.[Woody Allen] Quote:Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not.[Oprah Winfrey] Quote:When I study philosophical works I feel I am swallowing something which I don't have in my mouth.[Albert Einstein] Quote:TV is chewing gum for the eyes.[Frank Lloyd Wright] Quote:Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Eighty percent of success is showing up.[Woody Allen] Quote:The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.[Phyllis Diller] Quote:Experience has taught me that there is one chief reason why some people succeed and others fail. The difference is not one of knowing, but of doing. The successful man is not so superior in ability as in action. So far as success can be reduced to a formula, it consists of this: doing what you know you should do.[Roger Babson] Quote:To write a good love letter, you ought to begin without knowing what you mean to say and to finish without knowing what you have written.[Jean-Jacques Rousseau] Quote:You are not permitted to kill a woman who has wronged you, but nothing forbids you to reflect that she is growing older every minute. You are avenged 1440 times a day.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:A good photograph is knowing where to stand.[Ansel Adams] Quote:When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.[Jacob August Riis] Quote:What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:"Every man has his price." This is not true. But for every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing. To win over certain people to something, it is only necessary to give it a gloss of love of humanity, nobility, gentleness, self-sacrifice - and there is nothing you cannot get them to swallow. To their souls, these are the icing, the tidbit; other kinds of souls have others.[Friedrich Nietzsche] Quote:Greetings on this most exceedingly beautiful spring morning. A morning swollen with new life, a morning on which, if I had the voice, I would let loose with song. It's hard to believe just a few short weeks ago we were eating our cornflakes in the wintery dark. Now, well it's still kind of dim out there, but I can see the golden glow of Apollo's chariot waiting in the wings, about to make its entrance. Winter's on the lam, no doubt. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Engineering is not merely knowing and being knowledgeable, like a walking encyclopedia; engineering is not merely analysis; engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems; engineering is practicing the art of the organized forcing of technological change... Engineers operate at the interface between science and society... [Herbert Hoover] Quote:If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention, than to any other talent. [Isaac Newton] Quote:Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not. [Oprah Winfrey] Quote:Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny. [Carl Schurz] Quote:Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read. [Frank Zappa] Quote:You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them! [Amy Tan] Quote:The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. [Albert Einstein] Quote:The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next. [Ursula K. LeGuin] Quote:And so faith is closing your eyes and following the breath of your soul down to the bottom of life, where existence and nonexistence have merged into irrelevance. All that matters is the little part you play in the vast drama. [Real Live Preacher] Quote:Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person. [Dr. David M.
