What I mean to say is no, I don’t want her back, just words hanging like leaves from a tree limb, nothing can bring her back anyway; words wouldn’t build her bit by bit, piece by piece, she’s gone, and there is strength in knowing that. Maybe the longing will ease. Maybe the seconds will lapse into minutes. I’m not Christ – I can’t raise the dead.

– Scott C. HolstadRate it:

What I must do is all that concerns me. This rule, equally arduous in actual and intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is harder because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it.

What I still ask for daily - for life as long as I have work to do, and work as long as I have life.

– Reynolds PriceRate it:

What I want to do is make people laugh so that they'll see things seriously.

– William ZinsserRate it:

What I want to fix your attention on is the vast overall movement towards the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind of human excellence -- moral, cultural, social or intellectual. And is it not pretty to notice how 'democracy' (in the incantatory sense) is now doing for us the work that was once done by the most ancient dictatorships, and by the same methods The basic proposal of the new education is to be that dunces and idlers must not be made to feel inferior to intelligent and industrious pupils. That would be 'undemocratic.' Children who are fit to proceed may be artificially kept back, because the others would get a trauma by being left behind. The bright pupil thus remains democratically fettered to his own age group throughout his school career, and a boy who would be capable of tackling Aeschylus or Dante sits listening to his coeval's attempts to spell out A CAT SAT ON A MAT. We may reasonably hope for the virtual abolition of education when 'I'm as good as you' has fully had its way. All incentives to learn and all penalties for not learning will vanish. The few who might want to learn will be prevented who are they to overtop their fellows And anyway, the teachers -- or should I say nurses -- will be far too busy reassuring the dunces and patting them on the back to waste any time on real teaching. We shall no longer have to plan and toil to spread imperturbable conceit and incurable ignorance among men.

– Clive Staples LewisRate it:

What I'm concerned about is the people who don't dwell on the meaninglessness of their lives, or the meaningfulness of it-who just pursue mindless entertainment.

– Michael K. HookerRate it:

What I've learned. . . . I've learned that just when I get my room the way I like it, Mom makes me clean it up.

– Child Age 13Rate it:

What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.

– Woody AllenRate it:

What if I'm not the Hero? What if I'm... the bad guy?

– Stephenie MeyerRate it:

What if in REALITY the only great thing in [us] was just the THEORY of maybe loving each other

– SguichardoRate it:

What if nothing exists and we're all in somebody's dream Or what's worse, what if only that fat guy in the third row exists

– Woody AllenRate it:

What if reincarnation really happens, and Jesus were reincarnated, & you were a total d*ck to him? It could happen. You should probably treat everyone like they were Jesus reincarnated.

– Ingrid WeirRate it:

What if the real threat posed to society and democracy is not actually posed by the other side? What if the real danger is posed by political and media elites who try to get us to think that we'd be better off without the other side and who use these divisions for their own personal, financial, political benefit?

– Dannagal YoungRate it:

What if there had been room at the inn?

– Linda Festa on the origins of ChristianityRate it:

What if this weren't a hypothetical question

– UnknownRate it:

What if we pour all our resources into building a smart city, only to realize that we have forgotten to cultivate smart minds? Our obsession with smartphones and mindless entertainment has led us astray, preventing us from truly experiencing the beauty of the world and connecting with others. Let us not trade genuine human connections for a virtual reality, for it is through true smiles and heartfelt encounters that our cities truly come alive.

– Yvonne PadmosRate it:

What if we use Einstein's special theory of relativity to freeze time? The reason is simple and precise. The idea of freezing time is to freeze our love; Love always young and charming.

– Baba FaizRate it:
