It's really, really, really special.

Never discount a country by what they can't provide your country, while their resources may benefit other lands in need.

Michael C. HallEvolution explains our biological evolution, but human beings are very unique creatures. As the Dobzhansky said, all animals are unique; humans are the uniquest.

Donald JohansonThe problem of unmet expectations in marriage is primarily a problem of stereotyping. Each and every human being on this planet is a unique person. Since marriage is inevitably a relationship between two unique people, no one marriage is going to be exactly like any other.

Then we suffer enormously from trying to force the relationship to fit the stereotype and from the neurotic guilt and anger we experience when we fail to pull it off.

In each of its forms, love has an infinite scope of potential expansion, all of which I see leading to growth.

Kareem Abdul-JabbarI like to compare the two to a quarterback and a lineman. Being a brakeman is very physical and success is mostly determined by how fast you can push a sled for about 30 meters. Your position is won or lost by the hundredths of seconds you are faster than another individual. It's like the lineman who is there mostly for their athleticism and physicality. The driver, like the quarterback, possesses a unique skill that takes a lot longer to learn.

Michael EndeElvis Presley's death deprives our country of a part of itself. He was unique, irreplaceable.

Turkey, Iran, China, India, Japan. They are all different. They are all unique.
Burhan SonmezWhen I think of [my relationship with Gable], considering the way it started, it was curious. We became devoted to each other.

Oh he sometimes gave me the macho routine when people were watching but he changed when we were alone.

He, as I think, is the only soul in history who has appreciated the worth of man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
