“Instead of either/or, I discovered a whole world of and.” 

“Her searches after knowledge were arbitrary and without context. It was as if she were shining a small flashlight of curiosity into the dark room of the world.” 

“Don't think about making women fit the world -- think about making the world fit women." ” 

It's kind of like some kind of church for me, playing live. Each show, good people from different pockets of the world come and open their soul and let their spirits mingle and dance. That energy comes up through me, and all I do is channel it; it's like a circular motion and very sacred.

“May we be saved from evil thoughts and deed of enemies of world peace who find pleasure in creating havoc and perpetrating all forms of carnage.”

“Instead of either/or, I discovered a whole world of and.” 

“Don't think about making women fit the world -- think about making the world fit women." ” 

Women have always been the strong ones of the world. The men are always seeking from women a little pillow to put their heads down on. They are always longing for the mother who held them as infants.

The best color in the whole world is the one that looks good on you. 

“When we step into the family, by the act of being born, we do step into a world which is incalculable, into a world which has its own strange laws, into a world which could do without us, into a world we have not made. In other words, when we step into the family we step into a fairy-tale.” 

“We have had no good comic operas of late, because the real world has been more comic than any possible opera.”

“What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but an absence of self-criticism.”

“The modern world is a crowd of very rapid racing cars all brought to a standstill and stuck in a block of traffic.”

“Progress should mean that we are always changing the world to fit the vision, instead we are always changing the vision.”

“The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.” 

“Progress should mean that we are always changing the world to fit the vision, instead we are always changing the vision.”

“The world will very soon be divided, unless I am mistaken, into those who still go on explaining our success, and those somewhat more intelligent who are trying to explain our failure.”

“We lose our bearings entirely by speaking of the ‘lower classes’ when we mean humanity minus ourselves.” 

“I might inform those humanitarians who have a nightmare of new and needless babies (for some humanitarians have that sort of horror of humanity) that if the recent decline in the birth-rate were continued for a certain time, it might end in there being no babies at all; which would console them very much.” 

“The sort of man who admires Italian art while despising Italian religion is a tourist and a cad.” 

“A fad or heresy is the exaltation of something which even if true, is secondary or temporary in its nature against those things which are essential and eternal, those things which always prove themselves true in the long run. In short, it is the setting up of the mood against the mind.”

Moderns have not the moral courage, as a rule, to avow the sincere spiritual bias behind their fads; they become insincere even about their sincerity. Most modern liberality consists of finding irreligious excuses for religious bigotry. The earlier type of bigot pretended to be more religious than he really was. The later type pretends to be less religious than he really is. He does not wear a mask of piety, but rather a mask of impiety 

“A strange fanaticism fills our time: the fanatical hatred of morality, especially of Christian morality.” 

“And all over the world, the old literature, the popular literature, is the same. It consists of very dignified sorrow and very undignified fun. Its sad tales are of broken hearts; its happy tales are of broken heads.”
