Someday after mastering the winds the waves the tides and gravity we shall harness for God the energies of love and then for a second time in the history of the world man will have discovered fire.

A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.

What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered.

The fact that books today are mostly a string of words makes it easier to forget the text. With the impact of the iPad and the future of the book being up for re-imagination I wonder whether we'll rediscover the importance of making texts richer visually.

I don't know where I'm going to be in three years. Because I have the feeling that the future is so full of possibilities to stop being an actress to do something else... for me the future is just a huge bunch of discoveries.

The future author is one who discovers that language the exploration and manipulation of the resources of language will serve him in winning through to his way.

I knew I could not cope with the future unless I was able to rediscover the past.

I'd like to think that the actions we take today will allow others in the future to discover the wonders of landscapes we helped protect but never had the chance to enjoy ourselves.

We're trying to set up a movie for me in the near future. It's going to be similar to the story of how I got discovered. Kinda like my own version of '8 Mile.'

Don't forget what I discovered that over ninety percent of all national deficits from 1921 to 1939 were caused by payments for past present and future wars.

I know people will think it's funny because I've done glamour modelling in the past but I felt embarrassed about my body and just wanted to cover it up.

When it comes to war we focus more on the mainstream coverage of the event rather than the event itself. People dying is never funny. Protest puppets are always funny.

I had the classic 40 meltdown. I did. It's embarrassing. It was pretty funny. But then I recovered. To me it was like a second adolescence. Hormonally my body was changing my mind was changing and so my relationship to myself and the world around me came to this assault of finiteness.

You have to discover when you're inadequate to be funny and you don't know you're inadequate when you're a kid.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science the one that heralds new discoveries is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...'

She discovered with great delight that one does not love one's children just because they are one's children but because of the friendship formed while raising them.

When two people first meet they can only have a very ordinary kind of friendship. But when you begin to understand each other when you get close to them you discover that you're suddenly eager to know him or her even better.
