I don't want a ricochet romance, I don't want a ricochet love. If you're careless with your kisses, find another turtledove. I can't live on ricochet romance, no, no, not me! If you're gonna ricochet, baby, I'm gonna set you free.

Teresa Brewer

In the East we call this state meditation: no belief, no thought, no desire, no prejudice, no conditioning - in fact, no mind at all. A state of no-mind is meditation. When you can look without any mind interfering, distorting, interpreting, then you see the truth. The truth is already all around; just you have to put your mind aside.

Rajneesh

Fact is fact. Truth is Truth. It does not matter how you feel. We do not listen to our feelings. We believe the truth of God's word.

O prejudice, prejudice, prejudice, how many hast thou destroyed! Men who might have been wise have remained fools because they thought they were wise. Many judge what the gospel ought to be, but do not actually enquire as to what it is. They do not come to the Bible to obtain their views of religion, but they open that Book to find texts to suit the opinions which they bring to it. They are not open to the honest force of truth, and therefore are not saved by it.

Charles Spurgeon

Brian Eno

The road to the future leads us smack into the wall. We simply ricochet off the alternatives that destiny offers. Our survival is no more than a question of 25, 50 or perhaps 100 years.

Jacques Yves Cousteau

Prejudice is a chain, it can hold you. If you prejudice, you can't move, you keep prejudice for years. Never get nowhere with that.

Bob Marley

I love working with other people and bouncing ideas off them.

Gia Coppola

Music is sound. It's a wave. It's going out and coming back, and it's bouncing off.

Liz Phair

Joy acts like a trampoline, everything that touches it bouncing right back off it.

Mariella Frostrup

Truth is used to vitalize a statement rather than devitalize it. Truth implies more than a simple statement of fact. "I don't have any whiskey," may be a fact but it is not a truth.
