Favorite Quotes

1. Van Der Leeuw : "The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced"
   

2. Socrates: “I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance”
   

3. Alexander von Humboldt: “The most dangerous worldview is the worldview of those who have not viewed the world.”
   

4. The Fox from "Little Prince" : "Nothing's perfect," sighed the fox. "My life is monotonous. I hunt chickens; people hunt me. All chickens are just alike, and all men are just alike. So I'm rather bored. But if you tame me, my life will be filled with sunshine. I'll know the sound of footsteps that will be different from all the rest. Other footsteps send me back underground. Yours will call me out of my burrow like music. And then, look! You see the wheat fields over there? I don't eat bread. For me, wheat is no use whatever. Wheat fields say nothing to me. Which is sad. But you have hair the color of gold. So it will be wonderful, once you've tamed me! The wheat, which is golden, will remind me of you. And I'll love the sound of the wind in the wheat..."
   

5. H. G. Wells: "History is a race between education and catastrophe."
   

6. Nigerian Proverb: "Not to know is bad, not to wish to know is worse."
   

7. Terentius: “I am a human, and nothing human can be of indifference to me.”
   

8. Scarlett O'Hare: “I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow. After all... tomorrow is another day.”
