Earth to Democrats; displaying contempt for the American people when you are being paid by those people to serve their interests is generally not a good political move. ~Monica Crowley

My dad in particular, I tend to use; I call him "The Brain." If he's accessible, I'd rather put it through his brain. My wife, Melissa, maintains that the closer he is in proximity to me, the less I think for myself. And I think she's actually correct. So anything worth mulling over, I will mull over with my father, and that includes ratings. ~Joshua Malina

The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination. ~Albert Einstein
#quotes #albert-einstein #knowledge #imagination

I always choose to look, as much as one can, at the supernatural not being something that exists outside of nature, but a deeper, fundamental heart of nature that perhaps humans... have lost touch with. It's a more primal thing than perhaps we are attuned to in our modern, self-aware way of life. ~Alan Ball

There ain't no good guys, there ain't no bad guys, there's only you and me, and we just disagree. ~Dave Mason
#quotes #dave-mason

I think to an extent every human being needs to be redeemed somewhat or at least needs to look at themselves and say, "I've made mistakes, I'm off course, I need to change." Which is probably the hardest thing for a human being to do, and maybe that's why it interests me so. ~Joss Whedon
#quotes #joss-whedon #thinking #mistakes #change

A man does not seek his luck, luck seeks its man. ~Turkish Proverb

To inquire into the origin of life is like seeking the origin of electrical machinery or the origin of music. Every increase in complexity of arrangement, of form, of substance, leads to new and often incalculable properties. ~Gilbert Newton Lewis
