~By Waylon Jennings ~
This death cult has no reason and is beyond negotiation. This is what makes it so frightening. This is what causes so many to engage in a sort of mental diversion. They don't want to confront this horror. So they rush off in search of more comprehensible things to hate.
~By David Brooks ~
I put on such a good show, the story is outrageous, and people don't want to hear that I'm basically a reasonable human being. As long as it continues to get me print, I'll continue to perform in an exuberant manner.
~By James Ellroy ~

Mathematicians have tried in vain to this day to discover some order in the sequence of prime numbers, and we have reason to believe that it is a mystery into which the human mind will never penetrate.
~By Leonhard Euler ~
There is no more reason to think that they expected the world to remain static than there is to think that any of us holds a crystal ball.

~By Diane Wood ~
The old series of sittings with Mrs. Piper convinced me of survival for reasons which I should find it hard to formulate in any strict fashion, but that was their distinct effect.
~By Oliver Joseph Lodge ~

~By Frank Moore Colby ~
I have never sought the reason why I write.
~By Nathalie Sarraute ~
Man is wise and constantly in quest of more wisdom; but the ultimate wisdom, which deals with beginnings, remains locked in a seed. There it lies, the simplest fact of the universe and at the same time the one which calls forth faith rather than reason.
~By Hal Borland ~
The painting develops before my eyes, unfolding its surprises as it progresses. It is this which gives me the sense of complete liberty, and for this reason I am incapable of forming a plan or making a sketch beforehand.
~By Yves Tanguy ~
The very essence of instinct is that it's followed independently of reason.

~By Thomas More ~

~By Ken Hensley ~
The camera is my tool. Through it I give a reason to everything around me.
~By Andre Kertesz ~
Romantic lovers require from each other at least the facade of reason: We desire to be what romantic love makes us appear in the other's eyes. We want to imagine we are deserving of the love we inspire.
~By Maggie Gallagher ~

~By Jose Saramago ~
The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with himself.

~By Carl Jung ~
One of the reasons I love to jump back and forth between mediums is that film does allow me to be more literal. I can go to the real place. I can go to the Coliseum, and I don't have to fake it.
~By Julie Taymor ~
A more important reason is that the bands will intuitively trust someone they think is a peer, and who speaks fondly of the same formative rock and roll experiences.
~By Steve Albini ~

~By Elias Hicks ~
No one in the whole movie ever asks anyone, Did you write this letter' Part of the reason is that no one wants to hear that it isn't for them. As soon as they read it, they want it to be theirs.
~By Kate Capshaw ~
When the magistrate says 'That's not a good enough reason my man.' He said 'Excuse me, could I ask you? Have you taken an oath of allegiance to the Monarch?'
~By Anthony Holden ~
I think there are a lot of reasons to be critical of the media in America.
~By Laura Bush ~
There is always a multitude of reasons both in favor of doing a thing and against doing it. The art of debate lies in presenting them; the art of life lies in neglecting ninety-nine hundredths of them.
~By Mark Rutherford ~

~By Gay Talese ~

~By Irwin Edman ~
I know one husband and wife who, whatever the official reasons given to the court for the break up of their marriage, were really divorced because the husband believed that nobody ought to read while he was talking and the wife that nobody ought to talk while she was reading.
~By Vera Brittain ~

~By Alex Lifeson ~
There is no reasoning, no process of inference or comparison; there is no thinking about things, no putting two and two together; there are no ideas - the animal does not think of the box or of the food or of the act he is to perform.
~By Edward Thorndike ~
Interactive computers and software will, I think, provide a less costly method of doing some kinds of inquiry, in knowledge acquisition and even reasoning and interaction.
~By Roy Romer ~

~By Aldous Huxley ~
All human language draws its nature and value from the fact that it both comes from the Word of God and is chosen by God to manifest himself. But this relationship is secret and incomprehensible, beyond the bounds of reason and analysis.
~By Jacques Ellul ~
You see, another reason for nationalization was that private ownership meant fragmentation.
~By Barbara Castle ~
If thou desire the love of God and man, be humble, for the proud heart, as it loves none but itself, is beloved of none but itself. Humility enforces where neither virtue, nor strength, nor reason can prevail.
~By Francis Quarles ~
I started writing, or rather, thinking, stories as a child, and at that time the reason was very clear.
~By John Sladek ~

~By Marion Milner ~
If you made a list of reasons why any couple got married, and another list of the reasons for their divorce, you'd have a hell of a lot of overlapping.
~By Mignon McLaughlin ~
The whole object of the Prophets and the Sages was to declare that a limit is set to human reason where it must halt.
~By Maimonides ~
It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures, and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment.
~By Galileo Galilei ~
One of the reasons I don't have kids is because I think people would have been very unfair to them. Think of it. You're still asking me questions about The Exorcist.
~By Linda Blair ~
On acoustic guitar I tend to stay in the key of D for some reason. On electric guitar I keep basic: C, G, D, and A. The key of D minor is also real good for me.
~By Tommy Shaw ~

~By Charles Tupper ~

~By Ralph Chaplin ~
The belief of our Reason is an Exercise of Faith, and Faith is an Act of Reason.
~By Joseph Glanvill ~
Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters; united with it, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of marvels.
~By Francisco de Goya ~
We're understanding what Obama is. He is the great teacher. He is this guy that stands above everybody. There's some condescension in it, but he stands above everybody and says, 'Now, listen.

~By Evan Thomas ~
I think the reason I don't read is because, when I'm reading, I feel like I'm missing out on something else. You know, What are my friends doing? Where's my girlfriend?
~By Adam Sandler ~
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.
~By River Phoenix ~
The reason we're successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course.
~By Freddie Mercury ~
