“It is an impressively arrogant move to conclude that just because you don’t like something, it is empirically not good. I don’t like Chinese food, but I don’t write articles trying to prove it doesn’t exist.”
 

~ Tina Fey, Bossypants

 “Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy.”

~ Albert Einstein

“We have, as human beings, a storytelling problem. We're a bit too quick to come up with explanations for things we don't really have an explanation for.”

― Malcolm Gladwell, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking

“Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its students."

[Letter, November 1856]”
~ Hector Berlioz

I love this quote:

“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”

~ Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey
