Today's Famous Quotations
Lillian Hellman
We are a people who do not want to keep much of the past in our heads. It is considered unhealthy in America to remember mistakes, neurotic to think about them, psychotic to dwell on them.
Mark Twain, Speech in New York, Nov. 20, 1900
A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.
Susan B. Anthony
Men, their rights, and nothing more women, their rights, and nothing less.
Cato the Elder, from Plutarch, Lives
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue, than why I have one.
Carl Jung
The word "happiness" would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
Martin Heidegger
Teaching is more difficult than learning because what teaching calls for is this: to let learn. The real teacher, in fact, lets nothing else be learned than learning. His conduct, therefore, often produces the impression that we properly learn nothing from him, if by "learning" we now suddenly understand merely the procurement of useful information.
