Wim Wenders
The more opinions you have, the less you see.

Just as it would be madness to settle on medical treatment for the body of a person by taking an opinion poll of the neighbors, so it is irrational to prescribe for the body politic by polling the opinions of the people at large.
Anon.
You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her.

Great Famous Quotations
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Forbes Book of Business Quotations
Language is the armory of the human mind, and at once contains the trophies of its past and the weapons of its future conquests.
Ocean's Eleven
Reuben Second most successful robbery. The Flamingo in '71. This guy actually tasted fresh oxygen before they grabbed him. Of course, he was breathing out of a hose for the next three weeks. God damn hippy.
Sidney Madwed
Poor is the man who does not know his own intrinsic worth and tends to measure everything by relative value. A man of financial wealth who values himself by his financial net worth is poorer than a poor man who values himself by his intrinsic self worth.
Guy
Sometimes when reading Goethe I have the paralyzing suspicion that he is trying to be funny.
Marcel Proust
The real voyage of discovery consists, not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
Sir Winston Churchill, Speech, 4. June, 1940
We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
Jack Handey Deep Thoughts
I'd like to see a nature film where an eagle swoops down and pulls a fish out of a lake, and then maybe he's flying along, low to the ground, and the fish pulls a worm out of the ground. Now that's a documentary
H. Jackson Browne
Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
George Harrision, From the song "Within you without you" from Sgt Pepper
Life goes on within you and without you.
Henry Miller
Living apart and at peace with myself, I came to realize more vividly the meaning of the doctrine of acceptance. To refrain from giving advice, to refrain from meddling in the affairs of others, to refrain, even though the motives be the highest, from tampering with another's way of life - so simple, yet so difficult for an active spirit. Hands off

Latest greatest Quotations
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Men of genius are often dull and inert in society, as a blazing meteor when it descends to earth, is only a stone.
Helena Rubenstein
There are no ugly women, only lazy ones.
Carl Sandburg
Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.
Airplane
Elaine Dickinson There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.
Fred Allen
Hanging is too good for a man who makes puns he should be drawn and quoted.
Plato, from a footnote in The Colloquy of Monos and Una, Edgar Allen Poe
It will be hard to discover a better [method of education] than that which the experience of so many ages has already discovered, and this may be summed up as consisting in gymnastics for the body, and _music_ for the soul... For this reason is a musical education so essential; since it causes Rhythm and Harmony to penetrate most intimately into the soul, taking the strongest hold upon it, filling it with _beauty_ and making the man _beautiful-minded_.
Benjamin Franklin
Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.
Helen Keller
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
