A lot of times, in a store, clothes appear strange to me, their cuts or flourishes arbitrary. Why is this look stylish now? How long will it be stylish for? It's slightly embarrassing to admit this - because, as a novelist, I'm supposed to be observant - but I'm flummoxed by the way other women dress.

Curtis Sittenfeld

Humans are remarkable: the first species in almost four billion years of life on earth that dominates the biosphere.

But it also creates great dangers because it is not clear that we really understand how to use our potentially devastating powers.

David K. Shipler

Intelligence flourishes only in the ages when belief withers.

Emil Cioran

So long as man is protected by madness - he functions - and flourishes.

Emil Cioran

Part of science is the questioning of authority, absolute freedom of ideology. The Soviets did some very good science, but when science ran into ideology, it had trouble. Science flourishes best in a democracy.

George M. Whitesides

Jo Johnson

Zeal is fit for wise men, but flourishes chiefly among fools.

John Tillotson

Commercial real estate always trails residential, and as residential growth flourishes, shopping centers flourish and service the communities, and jobs come out.
