Religious wars are not caused by the fact that there is more than one religion, but by the spirit of intolerance... the spread of which can only be regarded as the total eclipse of human reason.
Experience never errs; it is only your judgments that err by promising themselves effects such as are not caused by your experiments.
Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.
Brexit is a ceaseless grind of conversations about customs unions and backstops. Anything that can add an air of whimsical, childlike wonder to proceedings can only be a good thing.
The spirit becomes free only when it ceases to be a support.
These mountains appear to be almost entirely composed of stratas of rock of various colours (mostly red) and are partially covered with a dwarfish growth of pine and cedar, which are the only species of timber to be seen.
The Chinese, by their favourite system of dwarfing, contrive to make it, when only a foot and a half or two feet high, have all the characters of an aged cedar of Lebanon.
Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle!
The thing about performance, even if it's only an illusion, is that it is a celebration of the fact that we do contain within ourselves infinite possibilities.

I only used a cell phone for the first time after I was released. I had difficulty coping with it because it seemed so small and insubstantial.
I got into cello in the fourth grade, and I played that for years. I adored playing it. I got an opera coach when I was 12 because I really wanted to learn how to sing properly. The only proper way to sing, I thought at that age, was opera.
Certainly my only interest is not in Celtic music.
We're one of the only bands that get censored for theological commentary.
When the written and spoken word is censored, the urban landscape becomes a nation's only physical link to the past.
The only place we were really told to tone it down - where other people would use the word censorship, but I wouldn't - was when we did MTV right after the Beavis and Butt-head thing.
Latin America has not achieved the development that it deserves... I'm not optimistic for all of Latin America, not only for Central America.
I'm just opposed to a pure inflation-only mandate in which the only thing a central bank cares about is inflation and not employment.
