The world in general disapproves of creativity, and to be creative in public is particularly bad. Even to speculate in public is rather worrisome.

Isaac Asimov

Als je jong bent, denk je dat er normale mensen bestaan, maar dat jij de pech hebt ze niet te kennen. Later kom je erachter dat dat onzin is, dat er geen normale mensen bestaan. Er bestaan alleen patiënten. Sommige patiënten weten zich staande te houden ten koste van andere patiënten en die noemen we daarom geen patiënten. Die noemen we geslaagd.

When you're young, you think there are normal people, but that you're so unlucky as not to know them. Later you find out that that's nonsense, and that normal people don't exist. There are only patients. Some patient manage to hold their own at the expense of other patients, and we don't call those patients. We call them successful.

Angela Morrison

I needed a whole heart once in my life. Is that so wrong?

De liefde is doodeng. Je kunt schrikken van hoe heftig je reageert op een verliefdheid. Op je bereidheid je met haar en huid te geven. Je staat op een griezelige afgrond en toch spring je. En niets kan je daarbij helpen.

Connie Palmen

I'm different, not less.

Temple Grandin

Prayer, in my opinion, is an act of doubt, not an act of faith. For if you truly trusted your god's plan, surely you wouldn't pray for anything.

Michael Sherlock

A god that does not manifest in reality is indistinguishable from a god that not exists.

Matt Dillahunty

It's okay to be eccentric if you're rich; otherwise you're just crazy.

Yvon Chouinard

Depression is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign you have been strong for too long.

The mind is what the brain does.

Steven Pinker

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

Epicurus

Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.

Epicurus

He who is not satisfied with a little is satisfied with nothing.

Epicurus

Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.

C.S. Lewis

If I'm happy? Of course not. Everybody always wants to be happy, but that can't be the intention.

Of ik gelukkig ben? Natuurlijk niet. Iedereen wilt altijd maar gelukkig zijn, maar dat kan de bedoeling niet zijn.

Delphine Lecompte

The mind, of course, is just what the brain does for a living.

Sharon Begley

Education: the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.
