"Men hate each other because they fear each other. They fear each other because they don't know each other. They don't know each other because they don't communicate with each other. They don't communicate with each other because they are separated from each other." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Time is what keeps the light from reaching us."

It's persuasion. And persuasion is an art." --Bill Bernbach "It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." --Krishnamarti "Know from whence you came. If you know whence you came, there are absolutely no limitations to where you can go." --James Baldwin "Look, I really don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive, you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, you've got to make a lot of noise, because life is the very opposite of death." --Mel Brooks "The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love,which includes not only others but ourselves as well." --Elizabeth Kubler-Ross "Experience has shown that science frequently develops most fruitfully once we learn to examine the things that seem the simplest, instead of those that seem the most mysterious." --Marvin Minsky "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!"

One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done." --Virginia Woolf "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face." -- Eleanor Roosevelt "Look for a long time at what pleases you, and for a longer time at what pains you. " -- Colette "Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow." -- Helen Keller "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal." -- Hannah Moore "Never feel self-pity, the most destructive emotion there is. How awful to be caught up in the terrible squirrel cage of self." -- Millicent Fenwick "Genius hath electric power which earth can never tame." -- Lydia M.

For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution." --Albert Einstein "Sure there is music even in the beauty, and the silent note which Cupid strikes, far sweeter than the sound of an instrument. For there is a music wherever there is a harmony, order or proportion; and thus far we may maintain the music of the spheres; for those well ordered motions, and regular paces, though they give no sound unto the ear, yet to the understanding they strike a note most full of harmony." --Sir Thomas Browne "A model must not have a causal connection to what it models" --Joseph Weizenbaum "And so each of our thoughts, before we are allowed to think it, must meet the approval of a cold-blooded, scaly thing that nestles at the psychic crossraods in the center of our brains." --Jon Franklin "Dialogue cannot exist without humility" -- Paulo Freire "New environments inflict considerable pain on the perceiver" -- Marshall McLuhan "What, then, are the deficits in an icon system?
