"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. "

• T.E. Lawrence

The perversity of nature is nowhere better demonstrated by the fact that, when exposed to the same atmosphere, bread becomes hard while crackers become soft.

"As Caesar lov'd me, I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was valiant, I honor him, but, as he was ambitious, I slew him."-Brutus, Wm. Shakespeare's Julius Caesar (III, ii, 22)

Once more, the more to aggravate the note,
With a foul traitor's name stuff I thy throat,
And wish – so please my sovereign – ere I move,
What my tongue speaks my right-drawn sword may prove.-From Richard II, spoken by Henry Bolingbroke, future Henry IV.
One of my favorite openings to any of Shakespeare's works is the scene in Richard II, between Henry Bolingbroke, then Duke of Hereford, and Thomas de Mowbray, 1st Duke of Norfolk.

Braccis sive sinu pulices neque sint tibi preda,
Coram patrono, coram famulantibus aula.

Do not hunt for fleas on your arms or bosom in front of the patron or in front of the servants in the hall. (1111-12)

• From Urbanus Magnus or Civilized Man.

“...one day when I was a young boy on holiday in Uberwald I was walking along the bank of a stream when I saw a mother otter with her cubs. A very endearing sight, I'm sure you'll agree, and even as I watched, the mother otter dived into the water and came up with a plump salmon, which she subdued and dragged onto a half submerged log. As she ate it, while of course it was still alive, the body split and I remember to this day the sweet pinkness of its roes as they spilled out, much to the delight of the baby otters, who scrambled over themselves to feed on the delicacy. One of nature's wonders, gentlemen. Mother and children dining upon mother and children. And that is when I first learned about evil. It is built into the very nature of the universe. Every world spins in pain. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior.”

― Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals

" Even the strongest and bravest must sometimes weep. It shows they have a great heart, one that can feel compassion for others."

"We are, perhaps, uniquely among the earth's creatures, the worrying animal. We worry away our lives, fearing the future, discontent with the present, unable to take in the idea of dying, unable to sit still."

“The man who lies asleep will never waken fame, and his desire and all his life drift past him like a dream, and the traces of his memory fade from time like smoke in air, or ripples on a stream.”

“I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.”

“We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.”

“At some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency. And it is within our power to do something about it," President Barack Obama said.

(Please do not reply here with hateful comments. What happened in that church in Charleston is a tragedy and a horror, and nothing else.)

One only dies once, and if one does not die well, a good opportunity is lost and will not present itself again.

Before becoming a celebrated writer, journalist, and revolutionary, Filipino national hero José Rizal (born June 19, 1861) went to medical school so he could help his mother, who was going blind. At the age of 25, he completed his eye specialization and used an ophthalmoscope to operate on his mother.

A sexy blonde goes to the doctor and says,

"Oh doctor, it's awful, every time I hear a Jim Carrey quote, I get so horny that I rip my clothes off and fuck the nearest thing to me!"
