T S Eliot

Anxiety is the hand maiden of creativity.

Simple, clear purpose and principles give rise to complex and intelligent behavior. Complex rules and regulations give rise to simple and stupid behavior.

If to be interesting is to be uncommonplace, it is becoming a question, with me, if there are any commonplace people.

Suppression of progress plays into the hands of the social enemy. Every advance in social justice establishes the nation.

It is not best that we should all think alike; it is difference of opinion that make horseraces.

I just want people to take a step back, take a deep breath and actually look at something with a different perspective. But most people will never do that.

The partnership of mind and matter is one which has existed since the beginning of time and cannot be dissolved.

I don’t write letters anymore.

Freedom of speech does not protect you from the consequences of saying stupid shit

If you wish to clear away the clouds of thought, simply keep your mind in the present.

You, and only you, choose how you feel.

The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes and silly people.

When I was a little girl, I so wanted to be sociable, but I was scared that I wasn’t going to be able to speak a sentence because I had such a bad stammer.

You say I started out with practically nothing, but that isn’t correct. We all start with all there is, it’s how we use it that makes things possible.

We are entering an era when we shall create resources which shall be so constantly renewed that the only loss will be not to use them. There will be such a plenteous supply of heat, light and power, that it will be a sin not to use all we want. This era is coming now. And it is coming by way of Water.

I haven’t put a pencil to a piece of paper, working out a problem, in years; I do it in my head.
