I write to keep from going mad from the contradictions I find among mankind - and to work some of those contradictions out for myself.

A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise.

Contradiction is not a sign of falsity nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth.

The essence of humanity's spiritual dilemma is that we evolved genetically to accept one truth and discovered another. Is there a way to erase the dilemma to resolve the contradictions between the transcendentalist and the empiricist world views?

My bulimia was my addiction. Hurting myself was my addiction... The music is what saved me. That's the only thing I can trust.

As we celebrate Recovery Month it is time for Congress to knock down the barriers to treatment and recovery for 26 million Americans suffering the ravages of alcohol and drug addiction.

When you encounter difficulties and contradictions do not try to break them but bend them with gentleness and time.

Agency by agency we frequently have lost a bit of ground at least to inflation-but had it not been for the efforts we've made to educate people about the importance of science technology and advanced education those predictions very well might have come true.

We are taught to consume. And that's what we do. But if we realized that there really is no reason to consume that it's just a mind set that it's just an addiction then we wouldn't be out there stepping on people's hands climbing the corporate ladder of success.

Always remember that striving and struggle precede success even in the dictionary.

Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price.

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.

When I write down my thoughts they do not escape me. This action makes me remember my strength which I forget at all times. I educate myself proportionately to my captured thought. I aim only to distinguish the contradiction between my mind and nothingness.

Money doesn't mind if we say it's evil it goes from strength to strength. It's a fiction an addiction and a tacit conspiracy.

I've come to the conclusion that beautiful women in the West aren't comfortable finding strength in their femininity. They want to do masculine-oriented things to establish their femininity. It's a contradiction.

Americans' addiction to sports with the NFL at the top is based on the excitement generated by the potential for the unexpected great play which can only happen with honest competition from great athletes.

It does not seem that the contradiction which exists between the aristocratic function of art and the democratic structure of modern society can ever be resolved.

The real point is that totalitarian regimes have claimed jurisdiction over the whole person and the whole society and they don't at all believe that we should give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God that which is God's.

The model of ownership in a society organized round mass consumption is addiction.

Drugs are merely the most obvious form of addiction in our society. Drug addiction is one of the things that undermines traditional values.

I think people are sick and tired of all the abuse songs and drug addiction we want to bring to world a big fat smile.

Facts are not science - as the dictionary is not literature.

The word 'romance ' according to the dictionary means excitement adventure and something extremely real. Romance should last a lifetime.

Is it not a species of blasphemy to call the New Testament revealed religion when we see in it such contradictions and absurdities.
