Theres something wrong with me chemically, — Depeche Mode

"Im leaving bitterness behind, This time Im cleaning out my mind. There is no space for the regrets I will remember to forget."

"Ive read more than a hundred books, Seen love mentioned many thousand times. But despite all the places Ive looked, Its still no clearer, its just not enough. Im still no nearer, the meaning of love."

"The grabbing hands grab all they can, All for themselves, after all. The grabbing hands grab all they can, All for themselves, after all. Its a competitive world. Everything counts in large amounts."

"So were different colours and were different creeds, And different people have different needs. Its obvious you hate me, though Ive done nothing wrong. Ive never even met you, so what could I have done?I cant understand What makes a man Hate another man. Help me understand.People are people, so why should it be You and I should get along so awfully? People are people, so why should it be You and I should get along so awfully?."

"All of these insurmountable tasks That lay before me, All of the firsts and the definite lasts That lay in store for me.There was a time When all on my mind was love. Now I find that most of the time Loves not enough in itself."

"When Im with you baby, I go out of my head. And I just cant get enough, And I just cant get enough. All the things you do to me, And everything you said. I just cant get enough, I just cant get enough."

"How seldom, Friend! a good great man inherits Honour or wealth, with all his worth and pains! It sounds like stories from the land of spirits, If any man obtain that which he merits, Or any merit that which he obtains.   . For shame, dear Friend! renounce this canting strain! … Greatness and goodness are not means, but ends! Hath he not always treasures, always friends, The good great man? Three treasures, and , And , regular as infants breath; And three firm friends, more sure than day and night, , his , and the Angel ."

"Chronology, the time which changes things, makes them grow older, wears them out, and manages to dispose of them, chronologically, forever. Thank God there is kairos too: again the Greeks were wiser than we are. They had two words for time: chronos and kairos. Kairos is not measurable. Kairos is ontological. In kairos we are, we are fully in isness, not negatively, as Sartre saw the isness of the oak tree, but fully, wholly, positively. Kairos can sometimes enter, penetrate, break through : the child at play, the painter at his easel, Serkin playing the Appassionata are in kairos. The saint in prayer, friends around the dinner table, the mother reaching out her arms for her newborn baby are in kairos. The bush, the , is in kairos, not any burning bush, but the particular burning bush before which Moses removed his shoes; the bush I pass by on my way to the brook. In kairos that part of us which is not consumed in the burning is wholly awake."

"Besides inventing quantum theory, Planck had made another great contribution to science by welcoming and generously supporting the young Albert Einstein. In 1905, when Einstein, then an unknown employee of the Swiss patent office in Bern, sent five revolutionary papers to the physics journal that Planck edited in Berlin, Planck immediately recognized them as works of genius and published them quickly without sending them to referees. He did not agree with all of Einstein’s ideas, but he published all of them. He helped Einstein to move ahead in the academic world, and in 1913 invited him to a full professorship in Berlin. For twenty years Planck and Einstein were friends and colleagues in Berlin, leaders of a scientific community that remained creative and vibrant, in spite of the political and economic disarray that surrounded them. Planck was the rock-solid central figure of German science, with the vision to promote the unorthodox and unpatriotic citizen-of-the-world Einstein."

"One day I was filled with longing To behold in human form the splendours of the Friend, To witness the ocean gathered up into a drop, The sun compressed into a single atom."

"Our friends from the Trade Federation have pledged their support. And when their battle droids are combined with yours, we shall have an army greater than any in the galaxy. The Jedi will be overwhelmed. The Republic will agree to any demands we make."

"Although my heart may be weak, its not alone. Its grown with each new experience. And its found a home with all the friends Ive made. Ive become a part of their heart, just as theyve become a part of mine. And if they think of me now and then, if they dont forget me, then our hearts will be one. I dont need a weapon. My friends are my power!"
