(Benjamin Franklin)
If the only way you can accept an assertion is by faith, then you are conceding that it can't be taken on its own merits.

It was kind of solemn, drifting down the big, still river, laying on our backs, looking up at stars, and we didn't even feel like talking aloud.
Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars.
(Gustave Flaubert)

(Martin Luther King, Jr.)
I have explored on this rocky bit of shore the great concept that nothing stands alone and everything, no matter how small, is part of a greater whole.
(Sigurd F. Olson)

(Gwyneth Paltrow)
I mean, I've sold all these scripts and nothing's been made. Studios have closed, stars have died. I had a director find Jesus. And the pictures just don't get made.
(Bruce Vilanch)
The towns of to-day can only increase in density at the expense of the open spaces which are the lungs of a city. We must increase the open spaces and diminish the distances to be covered. Therefore, the center of the city must be constructed vertically.
(Le Corbusier)
