For [Louis] Brandeis, you know, ethnicity and background are much less important than facts and reason.

To this day, at my relatively advanced age, I still don't have a place I can really call home. I've never bought property. I just move between temporary base camps. I know that the very notion of home, of having a family or community, is a hard one for me to embrace. — Pico Iyer

[Orthodox Patriarch] Kirill, my brother. We kissed each other, embraced, and then a conversation for two hours.

I am seeing an increasing number of people who want to match the products they use every day to a more natural, healthy lifestyle. — Sophie Heyman Uliano

In my creature impatience I am often caused to wish that there were some way to bring modern Christians into a deeper spiritual life painlessly by short, easy lessons; but such wishes are vain. No shortcut exists. God has not bowed to our nervous haste nor embraced the methods of our machine age. It is well that we accept the hard truth now: The man who would know God must give time to Him. — Aiden Wilson Tozer

My true function within a society which embraces all of us is to continue an age-old tradition. This tradition is to create images from the depths of the imagination and to give them form, whether visual, intellectual or musical. — Michael Tippett

The emperor's prepossession was increased and justified by the discreet pride of his favourite. — Edward Gibbon

Women are beautiful when they're young, and not after. Men can still preserve their sex appeal well into old age.... Some men can maintain, if they embrace it ... cragginess, weary masculinity. Women just get old and fat and wrinkly. — Tracy Letts

I intend to discuss some perplexing issues which are raised once we embrace the hypothesis that society can be deschooled; to search for criteria which may help us distinguish institutions which merit development because they support learning in a deschooled milieu; and to clarify those personal goals which would foster the advent of an Age of Leisure (schole) as opposed to an economy dominated by service industries. — Ivan Illich
