Quotable Quotes

œLet everything that's been planned come true. Let them believe. And let them have a laugh at their passions. Because what they call passion actually is not some emotional energy, but just the friction between their souls and the outside world. And most important, let them believe in themselves. Let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing. When a man is just born, he is weak and flexible. When he dies, he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing, it's tender and pliant. But when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death's companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win. - Andrei Tarkovsky

I don't know who originally said it, but the earliest known attribution was to a Texas businessman with the awesome unlikely name of "Frank Outlaw": œWatch your thoughts, for they become words;watch your words, for they become actions;watch your actions, for they become habits;watch your habits, for they become character;watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. A few more favorites: "If you believe everything you read, you're better off not reading." œA wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer. ”Bruce Lee œThose who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. ”Voltaire œNothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. ”Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. œFor small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love. ”Carl Sagan
