#quotes #carol-plum-ucci #happiness

Maybe love was superstition, a prayer we said to keep the truth of loneliness at bay. I tilted my head back. The stars looked like they were close together, when really they were millions of miles apart. In the end, maybe love just meant longing for something impossibly bright and forever out of reach. ~Leigh Bardugo

There are three movies that I am exceptionally proud of in my life, and I rarely commit to a list of films that I like, that I've made, but these are the three films that I was passionately connected to. The first was "ET," the second "Schindler's List," and third is "Saving Private Ryan". ~Steven Spielberg

We have different forms assigned to us in the school of life, different gifts imparted. All is not attractive that is good. Iron is useful, though it does not sparkle like the diamond. Gold has not the fragrance of a flower. So different persons have various modes of excellence, and we must have an eye to all. ~William Wilberforce

Atrial fibrillation can be taken care of. The point is that it is manageable. Everybody is different and will have different ways of managing whatever they need, and their doctor will have ways of managing theirs. But I think the first key is just to know it exists, know whether you have it, and know what the risks are and take care of yourself! ~Howie Mandel

The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places, but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater. ~J.R.R. Tolkien

Though ugliness be the opposite of beauty, it is not the opposite to proportion and fitness; for it is possible that a thing may be very ugly with any proportions, and with a perfect fitness for any use. ~Edmund Burke

Where there is great doubt, there will be great awakening; small doubt, small awakening, no doubt, no awakening. ~Zen Proverb

I also think we need to maintain distinctions - the doctrine of creation is different from a scientific cosmology, and we should resist the temptation, which sometimes scientists give in to, to try to assimilate the concepts of theology to the concepts of science. ~John Polkinghorne
#quotes #john-polkinghorne #science

It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out. ~Derek Jeter
