Quotes


Albert Einstein “A spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe – a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble. In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort.”

Billy Hatchett When I ride my hog, I'm travelling from the past into the future... it's the journey that matters...

Sören Kierkegaard Il n'est pas du tout difficile de séduire une jeune fille, maisd'en trouver une qui vaille la peine d'être séduite.

Bertrand Russell "In the part of this universe that we know there is great injustice, and often the good suffer, and often the wicked prosper, and one hardly knows which of those is the more annoying."

Myself "The congenitally blind are closer to reality than the sighted"

Myself "We see what we see because of what we are."

Count Almasy "New lovers are nervous and tender, but smash everything. For the heart is an organ of fire."

Kin Hubbard "Don't knock the weather. If it didn't change once in a while, nine out of ten people couldn't start a conversation."

Mitch Hedberg "I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later."

Edgar Allen Poe "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."

Rich Cook "Programming today is a race between software engineers strivingto build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."

Amélie Poulain "(Sans toi) les émotions d'aujourd'hui ne serait que la peau morte des émotions d'autrefois..."

Rick (Casablanca) "Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, shehad to walk into mine."

Ownzy (Dreamcatcher) "I have promises to keep and miles to go before I can sleep."

Myself "Man, just like any species akin to Him, can only use His knowledge to search the unknown."

General Rober E. Lee "Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more, you should never wish to do less." "The education of a man is never completed until he dies."

David Copperfield "Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show."

Ramachandran - Phantoms in the Brain "The first half of the next century (21st) will, in my view, beremembered as a golden age of neurology and mind-body medicine. It will be a time of great euphoria and celebration for novice researchers entering the field."

Ernesto Che Guevara "At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love."

Rita Mae Brown "Language exerts hidden power, like a moon on the tides."

Charles Darwin - Origin of species "In the distant future I see open fields for far more importantresearches. Psychology will be based on a new foundation, that of the necessary acquirement of each mental power and capacity by gradation."

Francois de La Rochefoucauld "The glory of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it."
