Interestingly, according to modern astronomers, space is finite. This is a very comforting thoughtparticularly for people who can never remember where they have left things., Woody Allen, US movie actor, comedian, director (1935 )
I have an idea that some men are born out of their due place. Accident has cast them amid certain surroundings, but they have always a nostalgia for a home they know not. They are strangers at their birthplace, and the leafy lanes they have known from childhood or the populous streets in which they have played, remain but a place of passage. They may spend their whole lives aliens among their kindred and remain aloof among the only scenes they have ever knows. Perhaps it is this sense of strangeness that sends men far and wide in the search for something permanent, to which they may attach themselves. Perhaps some deeprooted atavism urges the wanderer back to lands which his ancestors left in the dim beginnings of history. Sometimes a man hits upon a place to which he mysteriously feels that he belongs. Here is the home he sought, and he will settle amid scenes that he has never seen before, among men he has never known, as though they were familiar to him from his birth. Here at last he finds rest., W. Somerset Maugham, English dramatist novelist (1874 1965)
We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitationrooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing., Ralph Waldo Emerson, US essayist poet (1803 1882)
Intelligence is nothing without delight., Paul Claudel,
Silence is the most perfect expression of scorn., George Bernard Shaw, Back to Methuselah 1921 pt. 5, Irish dramatist socialist (1856 1950)
An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest., Benjamin Franklin, US author, diplomat, inventor, physicist, politician, printer (1706 1790)
