After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say "I want to see the manager."

William S. Burroughs

In love, one and one are one.

~Jean-Paul Sartre

The penalty for success is to be bored by the people who used to snub you.

~Nancy Astor

A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
-- Albert Einstein

Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

~Brendan Gill
