He killed his enemies because he was afraid they would kill him. Amin ordered entire tribes to be put to death, because he feared they would rebel.
I wouldn't change a thing - except my bank balance.
Johnny Thunders
A society that has more justice is a society that needs less charity.
Ralph Nader
I will love you forever, he thought. I am lying, he thought, and this time he was right.
Orson Scott Card
You can't be a proper comic unless you've been out on stage and felt the fear.
Johnny Vegas
Since there is no one else to praise me, I will praise myself -- will say that I have never tampered with a single tooth in my thought machine, such as it is. There are teeth missing, God knows -- some I was born without, teeth that will never grow. And other teeth have been stripped by the clutchless shifts of history -- But never have I willfully destroyed a tooth on a gear of my thinking machine. Never have I said to myself, 'This fact I can do without.
Kurt Vonnegut
Where we would be together and have our books and at night be warm in bed together with the windows open and the stars bright. That was where we could go.
Ernest Hemingway
Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.
Bo Bennett
I know the history of the record business so well because I followed Billie Holiday into the record studios. It was so primitive compared to the sophisticated business today.
Tony Bennett
Intelligence makes clear to us the interrelationship of means and ends. But mere thinking cannot give us a sense of the ultimate and fundamental ends. To make clear these fundamental ends and valuations and to set them fast in the emotional life of the individual, seems to me precisely the most important function which religion has to form in the social life of man.
Albert Einstein
I never think of the future. I never imagine what comes next.
Jessica Lange
The sick are the greatest danger for the healthy; it is not from the strongest that harm comes to the strong, but from the weakest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The better part of one's life consists of his friendships.
Abraham Lincoln
I don't for the life of me understand how anybody could contemplate the results of the 2000 election in the US and say that electoral politics doesn't matter any more, and that Ralph Nader was right when he said there is no difference between the two parties.
Todd Gitlin
I like dark humor. My favorite movie of all time is 'Harold and Maude.'
Leslie Mann
But the inexplicability of the General's conduct dwelt much on her thoughts. That he was very particular in his eating, she had, by her own unassisted observation, already discovered; but why should he say one thing so positively, and mean another all the while, was most unaccountable. How were people, at that rate, to be understood?
Jane Austen
The family is one of nature's masterpieces.
George Santayana
Biography should be written by an acute enemy.
Arthur Balfour
I just think Texas and that whole Bible Belt section is so, like, corporate. And I don't agree with organized religion in that respect.
Hunter Parrish
Nothing matters very much, and few things matter at all.
Emmanuel Lewis was amazing to work with. I'll love that guy to the end of time.
Corin Nemec
If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.
Lucille Ball
Man cannot possess anything as long as he fears death. But to him who does not fear it, everything belongs. If there was no suffering, man would not know his limits, would not know himself.
Leo Tolstoy
I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.
I've had an interest in politics since I was a little kid.
Rand Paul
And do you know Monsieur Marius? I believe I was a little in love with you.
Victor Hugo
Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it, and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: hard work -- and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.
I regret the passing of the studio system. I was very appreciative of it because I had no talent.
It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty. To the contrary, I believe it would be possible to rob even a healthy beast of prey of its voraciousness, if it were possible, with the aid of a whip, to force the beast to devour continuously, even when not hungry.
Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that's good taste.
I'm tired of love I'm still more tired of rhyme but money gives me pleasure all the time.
Hilaire Belloc
Minds are like flowers, they only open when the time is right.
Stephen Richards
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
My art and poetry is very political now. Because you've got to find that truth within you and express yourself. Somewhere out there, I know, there will be people who will listen.
Jack Bowman
The God we've been praying to is deaf to our words and only responds to our actions.
Steve Maraboli
We live in a world ruled by fictions of every kind -- mass merchandising, advertising, politics conducted as a branch of advertising, the instant translation of science and technology into popular imagery, the increasing blurring and intermingling of identities within the realm of consumer goods, the preempting of any free or original imaginative response to experience by the television screen. We live inside an enormous novel. For the writer in particular it is less and less necessary for him to invent the fictional content of his novel. The fiction is already there. The writer's task is to invent the reality.
J. G. Ballard
With false names, on the right nets, they could be anybody. Old men, middle-aged women, anybody, as long as they were careful about the way they wrote. All that anyone would see were the words, their ideas. Every citizen started equal, on the nets.
I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that's my one fear: that everything has happened; nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again... the future is just going to be a vast, conforming suburb of the soul.
There were no PCs when I started programming on computers.
Dave Winer
A car crash harnesses elements of eroticism, aggression, desire, speed, drama, kinesthetic factors, the stylizing of motion, consumer goods, status -- all these in one event. I myself see the car crash as a tremendous sexual event really: a liberation of human and machine libido (if there is such a thing).
A plague on eminence! I hardly dare cross the street anymore without a convoy, and I am stared at wherever I go like an idiot member of a royal family or an animal in a zoo and zoo animals have been known to die from stares.
Igor Stravinsky
