What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the human soul.

Joseph Addison Essayist

There is nothing that makes its way more directly into the soul than beauty.

Joseph Addison Essayist

The fear of death often proves mortal, and sets people on methods to save their Lives, which infallibly destroy them.

To say that authority, whether secular or religious, supplies no ground for morality is not to deny the obvious fact that it supplies a sanction.

Joseph Addison Essayist

The mark of a truly civilized man is confidence in the strength and security derived from the inquiring mind.

Felix Frankfurter Former Associate Justice Of The Supreme Court Of The United States

It is very nearly impossible... to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind.

James A. Baldwin Novelist

On a good night, I'm just into the flow and seeing the pictures and words in my mind clearly before I say them. On a bad night, which to be honest are nowhere near as bad as when I was starting out, I just concentrate on performing the routines correctly. I focus on my delivery.

Franklyn Ajaye Comedian

If you are a meditator, as your meditation goes on becoming more and more luminous, your intelligence will be growing to the last breath of your life. Not only that, even after the last breath your intelligence will continue to grow - because you are not going to die, only your body will be dying. And the body has nothing to do with intelligence, mind has nothing to do with intelligence. Intelligence is the quality of your awareness - more aware, more intelligent. And if you are totally aware, you are as intelligent as this whole existence is.

Of what a strange nature is knowledge! It clings to a mind when it has once seized on it like a lichen on a rock." - Frankenstein p115

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Novelist

My praise shall be dedicated to the mind itself. The mind is the man, and the knowledge is the mind. A man is but what he knoweth. The mind is but an accident to knowledge, for knowledge is the double of that which is.

Francis Bacon Former Lord Chancellor
