so these here are some english quotes.

one or two per topic.

.religion.

"Whoever it was who searched the heavens with a telescope and found no God would not have found the human mind if he had searched the brain with a microscope. " George Santayana

" I don't care whether you call yourself a vegetarian or a vegan, or an asparagus. I care whether you live in accord with your values, whether your life has integrity and purpose, whether you act with compassion for yourself and for all life." -- Anonymous

.dance and art.

“That which is static and repetitive is boring. That which is dynamic and random is confusing. In between lies art.” John A. Locke

"To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong." Joseph Chilton Pearce

.knowing yourself.

"Here, you can't live as you like - in any way or circumstance. You're like a bit out of those coloured mosaics in the hall, you have to fit in your own set, fit into your own pattern, because you're put there from the first. But you don't want to be like a fixed bit of a mosaic - you want to fuse into life, and melt and mix with the rest of folk, to have some things burned out of you.” D. H. Lawrence

.the mind.

"Seriousness is the only refuge of the shallow. " Oscar Wilde

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. " Oscar Wilde, De Profundis, 1905

.music.

"What would I have liked to have been? Everything you hate." Jack White, White Blood Cells, The Union Forever

"...There are ghosts from my past who own more of my soul Than I thought I had given away They linger in closets and under my bed And in pictures less proudly displayed...” Jennifer Knap, ‘Martyrs and Thieves’

so yeah...anybody got any good ones to put in those categories?
