When Arthur Schlesinger Sr. pioneered the 'presidential greatness poll' in 1948, the top five were Lincoln, Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Jefferson. Only Wilson appears to be seriously fading, probably because his support for the World War I-era Sedition Act now seems outrageous; in this analogy, Woodrow is like the Doors and the Sedition Act is Oliver Stone. Chuck Klosterman
It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. Its a crazy world out there. Be curious. Stephen Hawking
To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books. Dan Brown
E. L. Konigsburg quote: "I don't think there is any feeling I like more than the one..."

How life is strange and changeful, and the crystal is in the steel at the point of fracture, and the toad bears a jewel in its forehead, and the meaning of moments passes like the breeze that scarcely ruffles the leaf of the willow. Robert Penn Warren
She is so naked and singular. She is the sum of yourself and your dream. Climb her like a monument, step after step. She is solid. Anne Sexton
It can happen to anybody, getting all hung up on some twenty-year-old quiff. Like the little dog in the freight yard, and the train nips off the end of his tail and he yelps and spins around and it cuts off his head. Never lose your head over a piece of tail. John D. MacDonald
You would never do anything like that, would you?" my wife asked him. "You would never hurt animals."Our son shook his head, looking offended by the question. He might have been lying, but my knowledge of his belief system, composed of equal parts off-kilter Far Side animal-centrism and a dark Captain Nemoesque contempt for humanity, inclined me to think he was telling the truth. Gigantic fish pulling the limbs from cruel little boys, that might be something you could get him to sign on for. Michael Chabon
Carrie Fisher quote: "My life is like a lone, forgotten Q-Tip in the second-to-last..."
My life is like a lone, forgotten Q-Tip in the second-to-last drawer. Carrie Fisher
Dave Pelzer quote: "David what your mother did to you was wrong. Verry wrong. No..."
David what your mother did to you was wrong. Verry wrong. No child deserves to be treated like that. She's sick. Dave Pelzer
If one could run the story of that first human group like a speeded-up motion picture through a million years of time, one might see the stone in the hand change to the flint ax and the torch. Loren Eiseley
I would not like it thought that I do not buy my own paperclips, sir. I enjoy owning my own paperclips. It means they are mine. Terry Prachett
Life would be impossible on such a planet. It wouldn't get enough heat and light, and if it rotated there would be total darkness half of every day. There wouldn't be any native inhabitants. You couldn't expect life---which is fundamentally dependent on light---to develop under such extreme conditions of light deprivation. Half of every axial rotation spent in Darkness! No, nothing could exist under conditions like that. Isaac Asimov
When did this fiend strike last?"Ah . . . The last report was from the Dominican Republic. That was, let me see, two nights ago."Dominican Republic! Why in the world would he go there?"Exactly what I would like to know. Anne Rice
