The little unremembered acts of kindness and love are the best parts of a person's life.

Small science, which includes most research in the life sciences all over the world, is science directed usually by an individual senior scientist and a small team of junior associates, perhaps three, ten, fifteen, something in that order.
/Daniel Nathans/

Eckhart Tolle: Nobody’s life...

Nobody's life is entirely free of pain and sorrow. Isn't it a question of learning to live with them rather than trying to avoid them?<br>The pain that you create now is always some form of nonacceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is. On the level of thought, the resistance is some form of judgment. On the emotional level, it is some form of negativity. The intensity of the pain depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment, and this in turn depends on how strongly you are identified with your mind.
/Eckhart Tolle/

There are no days in life so memorable as those which vibrate to some stroke of the imagination.
/Ralph Waldo Emerson/

Ralph Waldo Emerson: How we...

How we glow over these novels of passion, when the story is told with any spark of truth and nature! And what fastens attention, in the intercourse of life, like any passage betraying affection between two parties? Perhaps we never saw them before and never shall meet them again. But we see them exchange a glance or betray a deep emotion, and we are no longer strangers. We understand them and take the warmest interest in the development of the romance. All mankind love a lover.
/Ralph Waldo Emerson/

Gustav Mahler: The impressions...

The impressions of the spriritual experiences gave my future life its form and content.
/Gustav Mahler/

Tina Yothers: I can't...

I can't wait to see The Grinch. It's so out of the world. Every time a movie like that comes out, I'm stoked. It's like real life.

Orison Swett Marden: The waste...

The waste of life occasioned by trying to do too many things at once is appalling.

Once in a young lifetime one should be allowed to have as much sweetness as one can possibly want and hold.
/Judith Olney/

Samuel Butler: An empty...

An empty house is like a stray dog or a body from which life has departed.
/Samuel Butler/

Life has brought me work to do on myself these past two years.

Ray Bradbury: When I...

When I was a young man, I didn't think about having a family. My wife and I were too poor to have babies. Then all of a sudden, one came along and scared the hell out of us because we had no money. Once the baby arrives, you make do somehow. You fall in love with the baby and life adjusts itself. You find you don't need as much money as you thought. When that happens, you can ask the questions that should have come before the baby.
/Ray Bradbury/
