"Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does."
~ Allen Ginsberg

"The practical lower limit on speeds for intersteller travel is 30,000 kilometeres per second, 110 million kilometeres per hour, 10 per cent the speed of light. If you can't travel at least this fast, don't bother going."

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsiously give permission to other people to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

-- Nelson Mandela

I'm breaking my own rule and posting three:

Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours. - John Locke

I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man's being unable to sit still in a room. - Blaise Pascal

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction. - Blaise Pascal
