I have always been really scared of scary movies just because I live by myself; and then seeing something, then having a big imagination and then like thinking you see it in the middle of the night. So I've never been really into them. ~Ashley Tisdale

If you represent the Earth's lifetime by a single year, say from January when it was made to December, the 21st-century would be a quarter of a second in June; a tiny fraction of the year. But even in this concertinaed cosmic perspective, our century is very, very special; the first when humans can change themselves and their home planet. ~Martin Rees

I would say you have an ethical obligation to pay the taxes that you owe, but you don't have an ethical obligation to pay taxes that you do not owe. In fact, you should be seeking ways to legally minimise your taxes. ~John Mackey

Something will be there when the flood recedes. We know that. It will be those people now standing in the water, and on those rooftops, many black, many poor. Homeless. Overlooked. And it will be New Orleans, though its memory may be shortened, its self-gaze and eccentricity scoured out so that what's left is a city more like other cities, less insular, less self-regarding, but possibly more self-knowing after today. A city on firmer ground. ~Richard Ford

#quotes #rabindranath-tagore #human #leadership

All men naturally desire knowledge. An indication of this is our esteem for the senses; for apart from their use we esteem them for their own sake, and most of all the sense of sight. Not only with a view to action, but even when no action is contemplated, we prefer sight, generally speaking, to all the other senses. The reason of this is that of all the senses sight best helps us to know things, and reveals many distinctions. ~Aristotle
