Use your hater to make you greater!
Happiness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth. They are inseparable.
Albert Camus
It seems to me curious, not to say obscene and thoroughly terrifying, that it could occur to an association of human beings drawn together through need and chance and for profit into a company, an organ of journalism, to pry intimately into the lives of an undefended and appallingly damaged group of human beings, an ignorant and helpless rural family, for the purpose of parading the nakedness, disadvantage and humiliation of these lives before another group of human beings, in the name of science, of

If Obama wanted to make radical changes to America's health long-term, all he has to do is treble the price of sugar and salt.
Jamie Oliver
Habit is the deepest law of human nature
Thomas Carlyle
If I have a cup of coffee that is too strong for me because it is too black, I weaken it by pouring cream into it. I integrate it with cream. If I keep pouring enough cream in the coffee, pretty soon the entire flavor of the coffee is changed; the very nature of the coffee is changed. If enough cream is poured in, eventually you don't even know that I had coffee in this cup. This is what happened with the March on Washington. The whites didn't integrate it; they infiltrated it. Whites joined it; they engulfed it; they became so much a part of it, it lost its original flavor. It ceased to be a black march; it ceased to be militant; it ceased to be angry; it ceased to be impatient. In fact, it ceased to be a march.
Malcolm X, Message to the Grass
The great and abiding lesson of American history, particularly the cold war, is that the engine of capitalism, the individual, is mightier than any collective.
Rand Paul
We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Coffee, n. break fluid.
Anon.
Man is a genius when he is dreaming.
Akira Kurosawa
Coffee makes us severe, and grave, and philosophical.
Jonathan Swift
God may be in the details, but the goddess is in the questions. Once we begin to ask them, there's no turning back.
Gloria Steinem
Coffee in England is just toasted milk.
Christopher Fry, "New York Post"
No one loves the man whom he fears.
Aristotle
The ceremony took six minutes. The marriage lasted about the same amount of time though we didn't get a divorce for almost a year.
Hedy Lamarr
Many people claim coffee inspires them, but, as everybody knows, coffee only makes boring people even more boring.
Honore de Balzac, Treatise on Mo
We had a military and political leadership at that period which was genuinely deluded.
Neil Sheehan
Among the numerous luxuries of the table...coffee may be considered as one of the most valuable. It excites cheerfulness without intoxication; and the pleasing flow of spirits which it occasions...is never followed by sadness, languor or debility.
Benjamin Franklin
And for my family, comedically, that was the key to a lot of the humor.
Damon Wayans
Coffee has two virtues: it is wet and warm.
Danish proverb
You lose it if you talk about it.
Ernest Hemingway
Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They're both important and schools are forgetting one of them.
Robert Kiyosaki
There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.
Anais Nin
Under the general name of Commodity, I rank all those advantages which our senses owe to nature. This, of course, is a benefit which is temporary and mediate, not ultimate, like its service to the soul. Yet although low, it is perfect in its kind, and is the only use of nature which all men apprehend. The misery of man appears like childish petulance, when we explore the steady and prodigal provision that has been made for his support and delight on this green ball which floats him through the heavens. What angels invented these splendid ornaments, these rich conveniences, this ocean of air above, this ocean of water beneath, this firmament of earth between? this zodiac of lights, this tent of dropping clouds, this striped coat of climates, this fourfold year? Beasts, fire, water, stones, and corn serve him. The field is at once his floor, his work-yard, his play-ground, his garden, and his bed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Commodity,
Those who know the rules of true wisdom are baser than those who love them. Those who love them are baser than those who follow them.
Leo Tolstoy
It is sometimes said that the tragedy of an artist's life is that he cannot realise his ideal. But the true tragedy that dogs the steps of most artists is that they realise their ideal too absolutely. For, when the ideal is realised, it is robbed of its wonder and its mystery, and becomes simply a new starting-point for an ideal that is other than itself.
Oscar Wilde, from Intentions
Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.
Charles M. Schulz
As the sun went down, I saw a solitary boatman disporting on the smooth lake. The falling dews seemed to strain and purify the air, and I was soothed with an infinite stillness. I got the world, as it were, by the nape of the neck, and held it under in the tide of its own events, till it was drowned, and then I let it go down stream like a dead dog. Vast hollow chambers of silence stretched away on every side, and my being expanded in proportion, and filled them. Then first could I appreciate sound, and find it musical.
Henry David Thoreau
...music is the perfect type of art. Music can never reveal its ultimate secret. This, also, is the explanation of the value of limitations in art. The sculptor gladly surrenders imitative colour, and the painter the actual dimensions of form, because by such renunciations they are able to avoid too definite a presentation of the Real, which would be mere imitation, and too definite a realisation of the Ideal, which would be too purely intellectual. It is through its very incompleteness that art becomes complete in beauty, and so addresses itself, not to the faculty of recognition nor to the faculty of reason, but to the aesthetic sense alone, which, while accepting both reason and recognition as stages of apprehension, subordinates them both to a pure synthetic impression of the work of art as a whole, and, taking whatever alien emotional elements the work may possess, uses their very complexity as a means by which a richer unity may be added to the ultimate impression itself.
Oscar Wilde, Intentions
My mom died when I was 16. I had a rough childhood, you know what I mean, but it made me strong.
Travis Barker
I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.
In the dark night of the soul, bright flows the river of God.
Saint John of the Cross
Transport of the mails, transport of the human voice, transport of flickering pictures
Antoine De SaintExupery, Terre d
I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.
Walt Whitman
Baseball is green and safe. It has neither the street intimidation of basketball nor the controlled Armageddon of football.... Baseball is a green dream that happens on summer nights in safe places in unsafe cities.
Luke Salisbury
If I do three movies in a year, I don't feel like acting ever again.
Ethan Hawke
Suffering so someone else didn't have to suffer. Sacrificing your body for someone else's well being.
Jodi Picoult
By union the smallest states thrive. By discord the greatest are destroyed.
Sallust
I don't have the luxury of having a dog myself because I travel too much, but I love walking and cuddling somebody else's dog.
Ingrid Newkirk
In this age of specialization, I sometimes think of myself as the last 'generalist' in economics, with interests that range from mathematical economics down to current financial journalism. My real interests are research and teaching...
Paul A. Samuelson
Her beauty didn't do her any good and she couldn't use it in any positive way or manipulative way. I just hope that people will look and see and believe in that hope of love, that hope of freedom, even if it was just for a limited time.
Diane Kruger
