Science is a cemetery of dead ideas, even though life may issue from them. ~ Miguel De Unamuno

Be More Than Just Consequences of Your Past ~ Philippe De Woot

Remember that there are two kinds of beauty: one of the soul and the other of the body. That of the soul displays its radiance in intelligence, in chastity, in good conduct, in generosity, and in good breeding, and all these qualities may exist in an ugly man. And when we focus our attention upon that beauty, not upon the physical, love generally arises with great violence and intensity. I am well aware that I am not handsome, but I also know that I am not deformed, and it is enough for a man of worth not to be a monster for him to be dearly loved, provided he has those spiritual endowments I have spoken of. ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra

Beautiful coquettes are quacks of love. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld

Opportunity makes the man ~ Jose De Alencar

There is a wide difference between having poison and being poisoned. All apothecaries have poisons ready for special uses, but they are not consequently poisoned, because the poison is only in their shop, not in themselves; and so you many possess riches without being poisoned by them, so long as they are in your house or purse only, and not in your heart. It is the Christian's privilege to be rich in material things , and poor in attachment to them. ~ St. Francis De Sales

Harry?" Bob asked. "Are your feet wet? And can you see the pyramids?"

The critical principle demanded an examination, for instance, of the contribution of different periods, thus to some extent embarking on historical linguistics. ~ Ferdinand De Saussure

To bewail the loss of a person we love is a happiness compared with the necessity of living with one we hate. ~ Jean De La Bruyere

I've been obsessed with this kind of visual storytelling for quite a while, and I try to create material that allows me to explore it. ~ Brian De Palma

Yes, no. I don't know. It's all so confusing. I'm just a kid."
Abuelo smiled. "You kept saying that while you told me your story, but what does it mean?"
"That I'm too young to have to be making decisions like this."
"You're never too young to do the right thing," Abuelo said. ~ Charles De Lint

You rob time, Fernando. How arrogant you are, taking an evening like this one as though it were some sour cherry, spitting half its flesh into the dirt. Every time you pitch yourself back into the past, you lose time. Have you so much of it to spare, my love? ~ Marlena De Blasi

This idea is more surely understood by interrogation; WHAT DO I KNOW? which I bear as my motto with the emblem of a pair of scales. ~ Michel De Montaigne

Aristocracy naturally leads the human mind to the contemplation of the past, and fixes it there. Democracy, on the contrary, gives men a sort of instinctive distaste for what is ancient. In this respect aristocracy is far more favorable to poetry; for things commonly grow larger and more obscure as they are more remote; and, for this two-fold reason, they are better suited to the delineation of the ideal. ~ Alexis De Tocqueville

The king must die so that the country can live. ~ Maximilien De Robespierre

The politics of identity is nothing new, certainly on the American right. What was astonishing during the Reagan Dispensation was the development of a left-wing version of it that became the de facto creed of two generations of liberal politicians, professors, schoolteachers, journalists, movement activists, and officials of the Democratic Party. This was not a historical accident. For the fascination, and then obsession, with identity did not challenge the fundamental principle of Reaganism. It reinforced that principle: individualism. Identity politics on the left was at first about large classes of people -- African-Americans, women -- seeking to redress major historical wrongs by mobilizing and then working through our political institutions to secure their rights. But by the 1980s it had given way to a pseudo-politics of self-regard and increasingly narrow and exclusionary self-definition that is now cultivated in our colleges and universities. The main result has been to turn young people back onto themselves, rather than turning them toward the wider world. It has left them unprepared to think about the common good and what must be done practically to secure it -- especially the hard and unglamorous task of persuading people very different from themselves to join a common effort. Every advance of liberal identity consciousness has marked a retreat of liberal political consciousness. Without which no vision of America's future can be imagined. ~ Mark Lilla

For storms will rage and oceans roar,
When Gabriel stands on sea and shore,
And as he blows his wondrous horn,
Old worlds die and new be born. ~ Deborah Harkness

Our strategy should be to strengthen the hand of moderate Muslims. ~ Gijs De Vries

You said something very true the other day: that for us, nudity begins with the face. ~ Simone De Beauvoir

Peace is never so complete that we may not have something to suffer ... Since it is impossible to please all of [those you serve], they offer you the occasion for practices which increase your merit in the measure that you make them meritorious by your patience. ~ Vincent De Paul

Two things in America are astonishing: the changeableness of most human behavior and the strange stability of certain principles. Men are constantly on the move, but the spirit of humanity seems almost unmoved. ~ Alexis De Tocqueville

I do not care so much what I am to others as I care what I am to myself. ~ Michel De Montaigne

A man's worth has its season, like fruit. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld

Some observers compare elections in some countries with sports events, where people are but spectators. Moreover, elections must not be mere interludes for pushing a lever and then retreating to passivity, for democracy demands committed participation in the daily workings of society. ~ Alfred-Maurice De Zayas

Spiritual dating is about listening to your instincts and not rushing into anything. ~ Amy Leigh Mercree

It is difficult to grow old gracefully. ~ Madame De Stael

Ah, did he not hate that word 'gay'? He thought it a strange categoriser of a life style with many elements far from zippy. No, he would de-kike the word 'faggot', which had punch, bite, a non-nonsense, chin-out assertiveness, and which, at present, was no more self-deprecatory than, say, 'American'. ~ Larry Kramer

The European Borders Agency in Warsaw has been created to help border forces in Europe cooperate more. ~ Gijs De Vries

Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance. ~ Jean De La Fontaine

A man would never set out to write a book on the peculiar
situation of the human male. But if I wish to define myself, I
must first of all say: T am a woman ~ Simone De Beauvoir

Most of our childhood is stored not in photos, but in certain biscuits, lights of day, smells, textures of carpet. ~ Alain De Botton

One weeps not save when one is afraid, and that is why kings are tyrants. ~ Marquis De Sade

I don't know where this pressure came from. I can't blame my parents because it has always felt internal. Like any other parent, my mother celebrated the A grades and the less-than-A grades she felt there was no need to tell anybody about. But not acknowledging the effort that ended in a less than perfect result impacted me as a child. If I didn't win, then we wouldn't tell anyone that I had even competed to save us the embarrassment of acknowledging that someone else was better. Keeping the secret made me think that losing was something to be ashamed of, and that unless I was sure I was going to be the champion there was no point in trying. And there was certainly no point to just having fun. ~ Portia De Rossi

Show me another pleasure like dinner which comes every day and lasts an hour. ~ Charles Maurice De Talleyrand

You must live a very free life."
"Me?" she laughed. "I am not who swoops out of the sky to rain fire on pirates!"
"Yeah, but before this I never did much. I mean I did a lot, but ... I lived in a room at a university, and my whole world was in that little room. There was this world inside my head."
De la Fitte studied his head as if she could see through his skull to a little globe inside it somewhere. ~ Sam Starbuck

Fear traps your mind. ~ Marianne De Pierres

And it is the Lord, it is Jesus, Who is my judge. Therefore I will try always to think leniently of others, that He may judge me leniently, or rather not at all, since He says: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged. ~ Therese De Lisieux

At a glance I can distinguish China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery

The greater part of mankind judge of men only by their fashionableness or their fortune. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld

We wish to constitute all the happiness, or, if that cannot be, the misery of the one we love. ~ Jean De La Bruyere

In nations where it exists, every individual takes an equal share in sovereign power and participates equally in the government of the state. Thus he is considered as enlightened, virtuous, strong as any of his fellow men. Why then does he obey society and what are the normal limits of his obedience? He obeys not because he holds an inferior position to those who run the administration or is less capable than his neighbor of self-government but because he recognizes the usefulness of his association with his fellow men and because he knows that this association cannot exist without a regulating power. While he has become a subject in all the mutual duties of citizens, he remains master in his own affairs where he is free and answerable only to God and his action. Out of that grows the general truth that the individual is the sole and best placed judge of his own private concerns and society has the right to control his actions only when it feels such actions cause it damage or needs to seek the cooperation of the individual. ~ Alexis De Tocqueville

I was really inspired by photos of the "Forgotten Man" during the Depression, when men were wearing the last suit that they had at the time, just trying not to starve to death. It's the kind of suit that is worn in the rain and shrinks on the body and becomes a second skin, which is different than someone who willfully dropped out. ~ Autumn De Wilde

There is a cure for temptation. What? Yielding to it. ~ Honore De Balzac

Happiness is the inner poetry of women, just as fine clothes are the mask of beauty ~ Honore De Balzac
