“Sex lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to reverence life until we know how to understand sex.”
Havelock Ellis Quotes
“A fool hath no dialogue within himself, the first thought carrieth him without the reply of a second.”
Lord Halifax Quotes
“The revolutions of thought which shape the basic outlook of an age are not disseminated through text-books- they spread like epidemics, through contamination by invisible agents and innocent germ carriers, by the most varied forms of contact, or simply by breathing the common air.”
Arthur Koestler Quotes
“Where all think alike, no one thinks very much.”
Walter Lippmann Quotes
“Science itself, therefore, may be regarded as a minimal problem, consisting of the completest possible presentment of facts with the least possible expenditure of thought.”
Ernst Mach Quotes
“Thought control, like birth control, is best undertaken as long as possible before the fact. Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.”
Richard Mitchell Quotes
“Most people would find it bizarre to speak of tolerating blonds. For whatever reason, hair color has not been a basis of tribal identity or group politics in our culture; the concept of tolerance is never invoked in this context because there is too obviously nothing to tolerate. In a rational culture, the same would be true of race, ethnicity, and the like.”
David Kelley Quotes
“Whenever I dwell for any length of time on my own shortcomings, they gradually begin to seem mild harmless, rather engaging little things, not at all like the staring defects in other people's characters.”
Kate Halverson Quotes
“If you are all wrapped up in yourself, you are overdressed.”
Lucille S. Harper Quotes
“Conscience is the inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking.”
Olin Miller Quotes
“Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.”
John Renmerde Quotes
“Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render some service or other. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and will make, not only our own happiness, but that of the world at large.”
Roy Goodman Quotes
“People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.”
Sir J. Lubbock Quotes
“Do not trust your memory; it is a net full of holes; the most beautiful prizes slip through it. - The Heart's Domain.”
Georges Duhamel Quotes
“If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.”
Rotarian Quotes
“As memory may be a paradise from which we cannot be driven, it may also be a hell from which we cannot escape. - Aphorisms and Reflections.”
John Lancaster Spalding Quotes
“There's a very fine line between a groove and a rut; a fine line between eccentrics and people who are just plain nuts. - "Prisoners of their Hairdos".”
Christine Lavin Quotes
“The moment of enlightenment is when a person's dreams of possibilities become images of probabilities.”
Vic Braden Quotes
“You've got to create a dream. You've got to uphold the dream. If you can't, go back to the factory or go back to the desk.”
Eric Burdon Quotes
“When I dream, I am ageless.”
Elizabeth Coatsworth Quotes
“Dreaming permits each and everyone of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives.”
William Dement Quotes
“The fanatic is incorruptible: if he kills for an idea, he can just as well get himself killed for one; in either case, tyrant or martyr, he is a monster.”
E. M. Cioran Quotes
“...the conviction persists - though history has shown it to be a hallucination - that all the questions that the human mind has asked are questions that can be answered in terms of the alternatives that the questions themselves present. But in fact intellectual progress usually occurs through sheer abandonment of questions together with both of the alternatives they assume - an abandonment that results from their decreasing vitality and change of urgent interest. We do not solve them: we get over them. Old questions are solved by disappearing, evaporating, while new questions corresponding to the changed attitude of endeavor and preference take their place.”
John Dewey Quotes
“Because we do not understand the brain very well we are constantly tempted to use the latest technology as a model for trying to understand it. In my childhood we were always assured that the brain was a telephone switchboard. ('What else could it be?') I was amused to see that Sherrington, the great British neuroscientist, thought that the brain worked like a telegraph system. Freud often compared the brain to hydraulic and electro-magnetic systems. Leibniz compared it to a mill, and I am told some of the ancient Greeks thought the brain functions like a catapult. At present, obviously, the metaphor is the digital computer.”
John R. Searle Quotes
“Courage is not a virtue or value among other personal values like love or fidelity. It is the foundation that underlies and gives reality to all other virtues and personal values. Without courage our love pales into mere dependency. Without courage our fidelity becomes conformism.”
Rollo May Quotes
