QUOTES

I have seen beyond the bounds of infinity and drawn down daemons from the stars. . . . I have harnessed the shadows that stride from world to world to sow death and madness. . . .

But I cannot help seeing beyond the tinsel of humour, and recognising the pitiful basis of jest-the world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind.

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

If wonder had gone away, and he had forgotten that all life is only a set of pictures in the brain, among which there is no difference betwixt those born of real things and those born of inward dreamings, and no cause to value the one above the other.

I certainly do not disagree with you concerning the essential solitude of the individual, for it seems to me the plainest of all truths that no highly organised and freely developed mind can possibly envisage an external world having much in common with the external world invisaged by any other mind.

The least important things,lead to the greatest discoveries.

There's a considerable difference between courage,and reckless stupidity.

What's the point of growing up,if you can't act childish sometimes.

There's always something to look at,if you open your eyes.

The way I see it is life is a pile of good and bad things. The good doesn't always soften the blow of the bad,but the bad doesn't always spoil the good.

The future pivots around you. Right here. Right now. So do good.

In my experience,surprisingly,there's always hope.

Violence doesn't end violence,it extends it.

This is one corner of one country,in one continent,on one planet that's a corner of a galaxy that's one corner of a universe that is forever growing an shrinking and creating and destroying,and never remaining the same for a single millisecond. Life is ever changing and eternal.

When your a kid,they tell you it's all....grow up,get a job,get a wife and some kids,maybe a pet or two. The truth is life is more exciting and wondrous. So much crazier and difficult.

Some people live more in 20 years than 80. It's the experience that counts,not the age.

You don't just give up. You don't just let things happen. You make a stand! You say no! You should have the guts to do what's right,even when everyone else runs away.

Courage isn't a matter of not being frightened,it's being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway.

Our lives are different from everybody else's. That's the exciting thing. Nobody else in the universe can do what were doing.

Go forward in all your beliefs,and prove me I am not wrong in mine.

In the fight for survival,there are no rules.

Our species has the most amazing capacity for self deception,matched only by it's ingenuity when trying to destroy itself.

Anybody remotely interesting is crazy in one way.

You can disguise your features,but never your intent.

Our lives are important-at least to us-and as we see,so we learn....our destinies are in the stars,so let's go search for them.
