Goodness is stronger than evil. Love is stronger than hate. Light is stronger than darkness. Life is stronger than death. Victory is ours through Him who loved us.

Desmond Tutu

The voice of reason is more to be regarded than the bent of any present inclination; since inclination will at length come over to reason, though we can never force reason to comply with inclination.

Joseph Addison

Actually, when I write, there is a feeling of necessity, of something that is stronger than myself that demands that I must write as I write.

Jacques Derrida

Boredom is the most sublime of all human emotions because it expresses the fact that the human spirit, in a certain sense, is greater than the entire universe. Boredom is an expression of a profound despair at not finding anything that can satisfy the soul's boundless needs.

Giacomo Leopardi

I did not love you out or boredom or loneliness or caprice. I loved you because the desire for you was stronger than any happiness.

Alessandro Baricco

Patience and boredom are closely related. Boredom, a certain kind of boredom, is really impatience. You don't like the way things are, they aren't interesting enough for you, so you deccide- and boredom is a decision-that you are bored.

Bertrand Russell

What we read with inclination makes a much stronger impression. If we read without inclination, half the mind is employed in fixing the attention; so there is but one half to be employed on what we read.

Samuel Johnson

We celebrate [Easter] because now, thanks to the risen Lord, it is definitively established that reason is stronger than unreason, truth stronger than lies, love stronger than death.

Pope Benedict XVI

Extreme boredom provides its own antidote.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

. . . gentleness is stronger than severity, water is stronger than rock, love is stronger than force.

Hermann Hesse

Obama provides hope. Whether he does anything, the hope that he provides for a nation and outside of America is enough. Just being who he is. You're the first black president. If he speaks on any issue or anything, he should be left alone.

Jay-Z

We are stronger than those who oppress us, who seek to silence us. We are stronger than the enemies of education. We are stronger than fear, hatred, violence and poverty.

Malala Yousafzai

There is only one thing worse than boredom, and that is the fear of boredom.

Emile M. Cioran

I write because I feel driven to write. I write from a sense of inner necessity. I don't write for anything other than that.

Will Self

Is boredom anything less than the sense of one's faculties slowly dying?

Arthur Helps

Tomb, thou shalt not hold Him longer; Death is strong, but Life is stronger; Stronger than the dark, the light; Stronger than the wrong, the right; Faith and Hope triumphant say Christ will rise on Easter Day.
