Ashley MontaguThe best stories I have heard were pointless, the best books those whose plot I can never remember, the best individuals those whom I never get anywhere with. Though it has been practised on me time and again I never cease to marvel how it happens that with certain individuals whom I know, within a few minutes after greeting them we are embarked on an endless voyage comparable in feeling and trajectory only to the deep middle dream which the practised dreamer slips into like a bone slips into its sockets
Henry MillerHigh SQ demands the most intense personal integrity. It demands that we stand open to experience, that we recapture our ability to see life and others afresh, as though through the eyes of a child, to learn how to tap into our intuition and visualization, as a powerful means of using our inner knowing to โmake a difference.โ It demands that we cease to seek refuge in what we know and constantly explore and learn from what we do not know. It demands that we live the questions rather than the answers.

Dwight D. EisenhowerWe know by now that if we make technology the predestined force in our lives, man will walk to the measure of its demands.

This means we must subject the machine - technology - to control and cease despoiling the earth and filling people with goodies merely to make money.

Vasily GrossmanWhat I really hoped for, no doubt, was to come upon one of those lives which begin nowhere, which lead us through marshes and salt flats, trickling away, seemingly without plan, purpose or goal, and suddenly emerge, gushing like geysers, and never cease gushing, even in death.

Does Love make her voice heard through a committee, does Love employ an almoner to convey her message to her neighbor? ...

Oliver BurkemanPersons in great stations have seldom their true character drawn till several years after their death.

Joseph Addison
