The descent to Hades is the same from every place.

It is not I who have lost the Athenians, but the Athenians who have lost me.

Appearances are a glimpse of the unseen.

Everything has a natural explanation. The moon is not a god, but a great rock, and the sun a hot rock.

Men would live exceedingly quiet if these two words, mine and thine, were taken away.

The descent to Hades is the same from every place.

The seed of everything is in everything else.

In the summer of 2004, Malem Jan was sitting with Sirajuddin Haqqani, the second son of Jalaluddin, in their Pakistani base in the North Waziristan town of Miram Shah when they heard their names on the BBC. The Americans were offering $250,000 and $200,000, respectively, as rewards for information leading to their capture.

If a jerk burns the flag, America is not threatened, democracy is not under siege, freedom is not at risk.

Social media overwhelms me.

I never cared what kind of grade I got.

After this many years of being a lead singer in a touring rock band, I've had my fair share of fun. But those days are long behind me.

Let's make sure that we are working for age-appropriate sex education in our school system.

I can see the humorous side of things and enjoy the fun when it comes but look where I will there seems to me always more sadness than joy in life.

Scrivener can be a tricky beast to get your head around. When you do, a bell rings, and suddenly it all seems perfectly clear. But to reach that stage you have to understand what it can do, and try it out for yourself. Which can be daunting.

God helping me, I will help my brothers and sisters in Christ, because they are my brothers and sisters.

The longer you live and the more you learn, the more clearly you will feel the difference between the few men who are truly great and the mere virtuosi.

What attracted me to immunology was that the whole thing seemed to revolve around a very simple experiment: take two different antibody molecules and compare their primary sequences.

If you know how rich you are, you are not rich. But me, I am not aware of the extent of my wealth. That's how rich we are.

I think that clothes and accessories define and describe who we are. I can't see many differences between them; they are indeed a way to introduce ourselves to other people, and they help us transmitting a message to others.

Voters crave authenticity.

It's a terrible thing to die young. Still, it saves a lot of time.

I started out life as a writer, and writers write in part because they don't want to talk.

Actually ideas are everywhere. It's the paperwork, that is, sitting down and thinking them into a coherent story, trying to find just the right words, that can and usually does get to be labor.

I don't like movies that are trying to preach and trying to tell you how to feel.

If you want to find the source of much of the music of modern day Russia, you will find it in the incredible compositions of that crazed lunatic Berlioz.

A lot of the state-sponsored growth in India was just too fast. You went from cradle to Nirvana in a short period of time.

When I finish a job, I surrender it completely. I have to, because after that, it really is out of my hands.

The books that really made an impact on me were not set in New Zealand. Some were New Zealand novels, but the New Zealandness of them was not what carried me or excited me.

That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is - being honest.
