Religion put claws on Aunt Sally and gave her a post to whet them on.

The past is never where you think you left it.

Love must be learned and learned again; There is no end.

You waste life when you waste good food.

You shouldn't side-step suffering if you have to go through it to get where you're going.

Trust your happiness and the richness of your life at this moment. It is as true and as much yours as anything else that ever happened to you.

The real sin against life is to abuse and destroy beauty, even one's own even more, one's own, for that has been put in our care and we are responsible for its well-being.

What we need now is endless courage.

Each generation must get on the same old merry-go-round, only disguised in a fresh coat of paint.

If you were born without wings, do nothing to prevent them from growing.

And if you are a parent, introduce your children to their neighborhood library. It will give them a real sense of independence to have their own library card and enjoy borrowing books.

I believe wholeheartedly in marriage. I don't exclusively mean a marriage with a legal contract, but any relationship that constitutes a marriage because of the quality of their relationship.

That's what makes best friends. It's not whether or not you live on the same block or go to the same school, but how you feel about each other in your hearts.

We talked about nothing in particular, but it felt like we were talking about the most important things.

I don't ever want an acting to be a job. I want this to be an outlet for my creativity, and something I just simply enjoy doing. I don't ever want it to become something too serious.

Clearly, Enlightenment thinkers were seeking a God substitute.
