Whenever you happen to take your children to the Zoo you may observe in the eyes of the apes, when they are not performing gymnastic feats or cracking nuts, a strange strained sadness. One can almost imagine that they feel they ought to become men, but cannot discover the secret of how to do it. On the road of evolution they have lost their way; their cousins marched on and they were left behind. Something of the same strain and anguish seems to have entered the soul of civilised man. He knows there is something better than himself almost within his grasp, yet he does not know where to seek it or how to find it. In despair he rages against his fellow man, who is equally lost and equally unhappy. 
 We have reached a stage in evolution which is not the final stage. We must pass through it quickly, for if we do not, most of us will perish by the way, and the others will be lost in a forest of doubt and fear.

"One has to secrete a jelly in which to slip quotations down people's throats - and one always secretes too much jelly."

 

-Virginia Woolf


I'd like to think of myself as the least impressive kind of god. Not omnipotent, omnipresent, or omniscient. Arrogant (as people with god complexes generally tend towards), self-serving (as many gods can be), and flawed (as people inherently are). If you follow me, expect magic tricks, not miracles. But hey, I don't ask for much. Put your faith in me, and I'll put my faith in you, Talk to me (and I've heard more important gods are much pickier about doing this) and I'll talk right back to you. So what do you say? Wanna be a prophet?

"What a pity it is that so much youth is wasted on young people, who don’t know by experience how to make the best use of it."

 

From a 1931 article in the Springfield Union, probably based upon the quote originally ascribed to George Bernard Shaw.


Always yield to temptation, it may not come your way again!

From my dad : "Any kind of Power even the Absolute Power will fall before Power that used with Wisdom and Prudence ."

 

The power that he meant are : money , social power and authority , social status , etc

 

I asked him why i can't have the same (better) treatment that my siblings / cousins have in my 'extended-family' and he simply told me this and not another answer even if i ask again and again . It took me 8 years to fully understood what he meant . Now i have them all and it wasn't that great .

The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be, rather than recognizing how we are.

Hmm... Good point.  Perhaps the title of this topic should be changed to "Favorite Quotes", since many of us seem to have many favorite quotes.
