Die Wissenschaft übertrumpft magisches Denken: Es gab einen Grund, warum die Inkas ihre Quecksilbermine 'la mina de los muertos' nannten, die Mine der Toten. Der Aufbau eines Lebens und einer Gemeinschaft nach Prinzipien, die solche Realitäten ignorieren, ist zum Scheitern verurteilt.

We are in danger of making our cities places where business goes on but where life, in its real sense, is lost.

Hubert H. Humphrey

It was the moment I learned acting is not acting out. After that light went on, I spent the rest of my life trying to figure out how to make other people realize it.

William Hurt

David Ayer

The importance of the facts testified, and their relations to the affairs of the soul, and the life to come, can make no difference in the principles or the mode of weighing the evidence.

Simon Greenleaf

We are material creatures who spend much of our lives on material pursuits (even building a cathedral or writing a novel requires stone and mortar or paper and ink).

Virginia Postrel

Prudence does not mean failing to accept responsibilities and postponing decisions; it means being committed to making joint decisions after pondering responsibly the road to be taken.

Pope Benedict XVI

My movies have always done pretty well in the UK - 'The Matrix' films did very well in this country and I do like the crews here and the people we're working with here.

Joel Silver

I try to base my life on the principles of Christ. I try to raise my family on the principles of Christ. I don't know if that makes me religious.

Ving Rhames
