Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do, and I gave the common-sensical reply that we don't have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage Picture Quote #1

My father was the Jewish half of the family, yet it was my mother who taught me to have pride in that tradition Picture Quote #1

I was very, very religious. And of course I wrote about it in 'Night.' I questioned God's silence. So I questioned. I don't have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith, but I question it Picture Quote #1

Father raised his glass one last time and we repeated after him: Next year in Jerusalem. None of us could know that this was our last Passover meal as a family Picture Quote #1

I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science Picture Quote #1

It is a waste of time to be angry about my disability. One has to get on with life and I haven't done badly. People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining Picture Quote #1

Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science Picture Quote #1

All the evidence shows that God was actually quite a gambler, and the universe is a great casino, where dice are thrown, and roulette wheels spin on every occasion. Over a large number of bets, the odds even out and we can make predictions; that's why casino owners are so rich. But over a very small number of rolls of the dice, the uncertainty principle is very important Picture Quote #1

In less enlightened times, the best way to impress women was to own a hot car. But women wised up and realized it was better to buy their own hot cars so they wouldn't have to ride around with jerks Picture Quote #1

Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral Picture Quote #1

A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life Picture Quote #1

I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark Picture Quote #1

She was unstoppable. Not because she did not have failures or doubts. But because she continued on despite them Picture Quote #1

Be in the habit of getting up bright and early on the weekends. Why waste such precious time in bed? Picture Quote #1

If you're the village blacksmith and a Model T comes along, you better become a mechanic. People's lives are better when they get news online versus having to wait for the morning paper. It's a lot more efficient, a lot more real time, a lot less waste Picture Quote #1

The instrument that I never learned how to play was my fans. You know, they are the part of the story that nobody teaches you. I just want to do the right thing; I want to be a voice with them, among them Picture Quote #1

One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do Picture Quote #1

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward Picture Quote #1

When a man spends his time giving his wife criticism and advice instead of compliments, he forgets that it was not his good judgment, but his charming manners, that won her heart Picture Quote #1

I was thinking about how people seem to read the bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me - they're cramming for their final exam Picture Quote #1

Oh beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticided grain, for strip-mined mountain's majesty above the asphalt plain. America, America, man sheds his waste on thee, and hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea Picture Quote #1

It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through Picture Quote #1

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy Picture Quote #1

Masters, I have to tell a tale of woe, a tale of folly and of wasted life, hope against hope, the bitter dregs of strife, ending, where all things end, in death at last Picture Quote #1

Late February days; and now, at last, might you have thought that winter's woe was past; so fair the sky was and so soft the air Picture Quote #1

Back in my rummy days, I would tremble and shake for hours upon arising. It was the only exercise I got Picture Quote #1

And what do ye say then? - that spring long departed has brought forth no child to the softness and showers; - that we slept and we dreamed through the summer of flowers; we dreamed of the winter, and waking dead-hearted found winter upon us and waste of dull hours Picture Quote #1
