If we bring not the good courage of minds covetous of truth and truth only prepared to hear all things and decide upon all things according to evidence we should do more wisely to sit down contented in ignorance than to bestir ourselves only to reap disappointment.

We need to find the courage to say no to the things and people that are not serving us if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity.

When I was in high school my friends and I would drive out into the country to abandoned houses and structures... haha... to ghost hunt. We would scare each other so bad! We would sometimes camp out by the abandoned buildings just to scare ourselves! Such good times. The adrenaline of real fear is so cool!

We do this basically for ourselves. People appreciate it which is cool but I think they appreciate that we're doing it for ourselves. We're doing it our way and how people like it is not up to us. We like it.

No matter how good you are at some point your kids are gonna have to create their own independence and think that Mom and Dad aren't cool just to establish themselves. That's what adolescence is about. They're gonna go through that no matter what.

Look at Scottish guys wearing kilts - you could look at them and laugh but the way they carry themselves how can you? You can wear some of the weirdest things and be cool. If you believe in it that's what makes it cool.

Elves are cool man.

What's happened with society is that we have created these devices computers which already can register and process huge amounts of information which is a significant fraction of the amount of information that human beings themselves as a species can process.

Computers themselves and software yet to be developed will revolutionize the way we learn.

The first reason for the preponderant influence of those Evangelicals who define themselves as advocates of Religious Right theological and political ideologies is that they have both the financial means and technological know-how to make widespread use of modern electronic forms of communication.

There are two barriers that often prevent communication between the young and their elders. The first is middle-aged forgetfulness of the fact that they themselves are no longer young. The second is youthful ignorance of the fact that the middle aged are still alive.

Much can and must be done by governments but they cannot of themselves change lives.

Doubt is an uneasy and dissatisfied state from which we struggle to free ourselves and pass into the state of belief while the latter is a calm and satisfactory state which we do not wish to avoid or to change to a belief in anything else.

The world will change for the better when people decide they are sick and tired of being sick and tired of the way the world is and decide to change themselves.

Sureness is something like a neck brace which we clamp around our lives hoping to somehow protect ourselves from the frightening constant whiplash of change. Sadly the brace doesn't always hold.

Unless there is meaningful change in Syria and an end to the crackdown President Assad and those around him will find themselves isolated internationally and discredited within Syria.

People find themselves in ruts all the time. You're in a complacent lifestyle where you work 9 to 5 and then you add a mortgage and kids. You feel trapped but guess what brother? You constructed that life. If you're OK with it there's nothing wrong with that. But if you've got unease then you've got to make a change.

I didn't think that college math was for me. I didn't think I'd be able to hack it. And that perception of math not being for girls not being for girls who see themselves as socially well adjusted has got to change.

A lot of people resist transition and therefore never allow themselves to enjoy who they are. Embrace the change no matter what it is once you do you can learn about the new world you're in and take advantage of it.

We teach people that they upset themselves. We can't change the past so we change how people are thinking feeling and behaving today.

Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?

A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves.

Countries such as the U.S. and Britain have taken it upon themselves to decide for us in the developing world even to interfere in our domestic affairs and to bring about what they call regime change.

It is absolutely impossible to transcend the laws of nature. What can change in historically different circumstances is only the form in which these laws expose themselves.
