ZhuangziRead
When we see life, we call it beautiful. When we see death, we call it ugly. But it is more beautiful still to see oneself living at great speed, right up to the moment of death.
Jean GenetRead
I have solved what color is, however ; I still have no idea about what line is.
Leonardo Da VinciRead
Show us your Christ, Lady, after this our exile, yes: but show Him to us also now, show Him to us here, while we are still wanderers.

The real is near, you do not have to seek it; and a man who seeks truth will never find it. Truth is in what is - and that is the beauty of it. But the moment you conceive it, the moment you seek it, you begin to struggle; and a man who struggles cannot understand. That is why we have to be still, observant, passively aware.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiRead

Mark NepoRead
You don't want no pie in the sky when you die, You want something here on the ground while you're still around.
Muhammad AliRead
No one's body is polluted so as to endanger the soul if it has not pleased the mind. If you were to lift my hand to your idol and so make me offer against my will, I would still be guiltless in the sight of the true God, who judges according to the will and knows all things. If now, against my will, you cause me to be polluted, a twofold purity will be gloriously imputed to me. You cannot bend my will to your purpose; whatever you do to my body, that cannot happen to me.
Saint LucyRead
Every human heart has a deep need to love - to be in love, really, with all of life. This is the kind of love that comes when the mind is still. . . . Be still and know that we are all God’s children; then you will be in love with all.
Eknath EaswaranRead
The first quarter-century of your life was doubtless lived under the cloud of being too young for things, while the last quarter-century would normally be shadowed by the still darker cloud of being too old for them; and between those two clouds, what small and narrow sunlight illumines a human lifetime!

America is still an eagle, and she's ready to soar again.
Ronald ReaganRead
When a man is saved by divine grace, he is not wholly cleansed from the corruption of his heart. When we believe in Jesus Christ all our sins are pardoned; yet the power of sin, albeit that it is weakened and kept under by the dominion of the new-born nature which God doth infuse into our souls, doth not cease, but still tarrieth in us, and will do so to our dying day.
Charles SpurgeonRead
You do not lose your value or preciousness when you grow to be a adult. You are still that miraculous creation. You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.
Pablo CasalsRead
Few individuals significantly alter the course of history. Fewer still modify the map of the world. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a nation-state. Mohammad Ali Jinnah did all three.
Stanley WolpertRead
The best thoughts most often come in the morning after waking, while still in bed or while walking.
Leo TolstoyRead
Slavery was, in a very real sense, the first _x000D_ international human rights issue to come to the fore. It led to the _x000D_ adoption of the first human rights laws and to the creation of the _x000D_ first human rights non-governmenta l organization. And yet despite _x000D_ the efforts of the international community to combat this abhorrent _x000D_ practice, it is still widely prevalent in all _x000D_ its insidious forms, old and new.
Kofi AnnanRead
At least half the country thinks the mascot issue is insignificant. But I think it's indicative of the ways in which Indians have no cultural power. We're still placed in the past. So we're either in the past or we're only viewed through casinos.
Sherman AlexieRead
Artistically I am still a child with a whole life ahead of me to discover and create. I want something, but I won't know what it is until I succeed in doing it.
