Question Your Paradigms, your perceptions of reality.

Daniel N. Robinson Philosopher

Does the end justify the means? Or should it be, Do the ends justify the mean; do the extremes justify moderation?

Daniel N. Robinson Philosopher

Psychotherapy, unlike castor oil, which will work no matter how you get it down, is useless when forced on an uncooperative patient.

Abigail Van Buren Columnist

The Arab-Israeli conflict is also in many ways a conflict about status: it's a war between two peoples who feel deeply humiliated by the other, who want the other to respect them. Battles over status can be even more intractable than those over land or water or oil.

Alain De Botton Writer

I get up between 6:30 and 7 A.M., and my morning routine is always the same: hot water and lemon, eggs on toast and rose oil on the face.

Alice Temperley Fashion Designer

Every year I will stock my locker up with body wash, different lotions, different oils and different creams.

Amelia Atwater-Rhodes Author

We'd find more energy in the attics of American homes (through energy conservation measures) than in all the oil buried in Alaska.

Amory Lovins Physicist

Bitumen, the world's ugliest and most expensive hydrocarbon, can never be a reasonable substitute for light oil due to its extreme capital, energy, and carbon intensity. Bitumen looks, smells, and behaves like asphalt; running an economy on it is akin to digging up our existing road infrastructure, melting it down, and enriching the goop with hydrogen until it becomes a sulfur-rich but marketable oil.

Andrew Nikiforuk Journalist

I'm still not comfortable recommending that people eat saturated fat with abandon, but it's clear to me that sugar, flour and oxidized seed oils create inflammatory effects in the body that almost certainly bear most of the responsibility for elevating heart disease risk.

Andrew Weil Medical Doctor
