Michel Houellebecq - You get used to terrorist attacks...

You get used to terrorist attacks. France will hold on. The French will hold on, without even needing a "sursaut national,” a national pushback reflex. They'll hold on because there's no other way, and because you get used to everything. No human force, not even fear, is stronger than habit.

Michel Houellebecq

Albert Einstein

This is the true joy in life being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

George Bernard Shaw

The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion, all in one.

John Ruskin

Nothing is old, nothing is new, save the light of grace underneath which beats a human heart. The way of feeling, of understanding, of loving; the way of seeing the country, the faces that your father saw, that your mother knew. The rest is chimerical.

Georges Rouault

Our life is half natural and half technological. Half-and-half is good. You cannot deny that high-tech is progress. We need it for jobs. Yet if you make only high-tech, you make war. So we must have a strong human element to keep modesty and natural life.

Nam June Paik

You get used to terrorist attacks. France will hold on. The French will hold on, without even needing a "sursaut national,” a national pushback reflex. They'll hold on because there's no other way, and because you get used to everything. No human force, not even fear, is stronger than habit.
