BioI'm a little bit fabulous. I'm sure you'll agree.
"...because you run and run, not away from or to something, but at, at exhaustion, throwing yourself at it like wind at a candle-flame." ~from "The Constant of the Universe by Andy Weaver
"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." ~ Charles Darwin
"The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something, and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion, — all in one." ~ John Ruskin
"A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved." ~ Kurt Vonnegut
"I'm concerned about justice. I'm concerned about brotherhood. I'm concerned about truth. And when one is concerned about these, he can never advocate violence. For through violence you may murder a murderer but you can't murder murder. Through violence you may murder a liar but you can't establish truth. Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate. Darkness cannot put out darkness. Only light can do that." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
"At no time are we ever in such complete possession of a journey, down to its last nook and cranny, as when we are busy with preparations for it. After that, there remains only the journey itself, which is nothing but the process through which we lose our ownership of it." ~ Yukio Mishima
"One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion." ~ Simone de Beauvoir
"I am utterly convinced that Science and Peace will triumph over Ignorance and War, that nations will eventually unite not to destroy but to edify, and that the future will belong to those who have done the most for the sake of suffering humanity." ~ Louis Pasteur
"For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation." ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
"A hero is someone who rebels or seems to rebel against the facts of existence and seems to conquer them. Obviously that can only work at moments. It can't be a lasting thing. That's not saying that people shouldn't keep trying to rebel against the facts of existence. Someday, who knows, we might conquer death, disease and war." ~ Jim Morrison
"The truth is, when all is said and done, one does not teach a subject, one teaches a student how to learn it." ~ Jacques Barzun
