“For a few seconds they looked silently into each other's eyes, and the distant and impossible suddenly became near, possible, and inevitable.”
Leo Tolstoy

“That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.”
Barack Obama

It doesn't seem worth starting anything. I can't settle down. I yawn, fidget, I smoke too much. Up till this I always had too little time. Now there is nothing but time. Almost pure time, empty successiveness.”
C.S. Lewis

“Man can create nothing which he does not first conceive in thought.”

That's what strong countries do, that's what strong presidents do, that's what I'll do when I'm president of the United States of America.”
Barack Obama

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable”
John F. Kennedy

“All the stories and descriptions of that time without exception peak only of the patriotism, self-sacrifice, despair, grief, and heroism of the Russians.

Leo Tolstoy

“The best swordsman in the world may be disarmed by a trick that's new to him.”
C.S. Lewis

“unearned suffering is redemptive.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“your ability to select your most important task at each moment, and then to get started on that task and to get it done both quickly and well, will probably have more of an impact on your success than any other quality or skill you can develop
Brian Tracy

“You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.”
