If you're not cheating, you're not trying.
Love is the only cement that can hold this broken community together.When I am commanded to love, I am commanded to restore community, to resist injustice, and to meet the needs fo my brothers.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Measure your health by your sympathy with morning and Spring. If there is no response in you to the awakening of nature, if the prospect of an early morning walk does not banish sleep, if the warble of the first bluebird does not thrill you, know tha
Henry David Thoreau
It may be a question whether machinery does not encumber; whether we have not lost by refinement some energy, by a Christianity entrenched in establishments and forms, some vigor of wild virtue. For every Stoic was a Stoic; but in Christendom where is the Christian?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.
Oscar Wilde
If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
Abraham Lincoln
[Jerome] is a man quite without either judgment or application.
If words had weight, a single sentence from Death would have anchored a ship.
Terry Pratchett
Swear to me swear to me that if it isn't dead you'll all come back.
Stephen King
Love is merely madness...
William Shakespeare
In vain a zealous evangelist with a fely hat and flowing tie threads his way through the crowd, crying without cease: 'God is great and good. Come unto Him.' On the contrary, they all make haste toward some trivial objective that seems of more immediate interest than God.
Albert Camus
I can never fear that things will go far wrong where common sense has fair play.
Thomas Jefferson
Un croquis vaut mieux qu???un long discours.Fr., A sketch is better than a long speech.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is life but the angle of vision? A man is measured by the angle at which he looks at objects. What is life but what a man is thinking of all day? This is his fate and his employer. Knowing is the measure of the man. By how much we know, so much we are.
Nothing will shake a man-or at any rate a man like me-out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself.
C.S. Lewis
Republics abound in young civilians who believe that the laws make the city, that grave modifications of the policy and modes of living and employments of the population, that commerce, education and religion may be voted in or out; and that any measure, though it were absurd, may be imposed on a people if only you can get sufficient voices to make it a law. But the wise know that foolish legislation is a rope of sand which perishes in the twisting; that the State must follow and not lead the character and progress of the citizen; that the form of government which prevails is the expression of what cultivation exists in the population which permits it. The law is only a memorandum.
What will happen to sex after liberation? Frankly, I don't know. It is a great mystery to all of us.
Nora Ephron
It struck me that the movies had spent more than half a century saying, They lived happily ever after and the following quarter-century warning that they'll be lucky to make it through the weekend. Possibly now we are now entering a third era in which the movies will be sounding a note of cautious optimism: You know it just might work.
I am continually fascinated at the difficulty intelligent people have in distinguishing what is controversial from what is merely offensive.
All philosophy lies in two words, sustain and abstain.
Epictetus
First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.
The mountebank told them that God was surely trying to kill them, possibly because He was through with them, and that they should have the good manners to die. This, as you can see, they did.
Kurt Vonnegut
La muerte es cuando los monstruos se adueñan de uno.
Wherever one finds oneself inclined to bitterness, it is a sign of emotional failure: a larger heart, and a greater self-restraint, would put a calm autumnal sadness in the place of the instinctive outcry of pain.
Bertrand Russell
Fear is contagious. You can catch it. Sometimes all it takes is for someone to say they're scared for the fear to become real
Neil Gaiman
Who, cher monsieur, will sleep on the floor for us? Whether I am capable of it myself? Look, I'd like to be and I shall be. Yes, we shall all be capable of it one day, and that will be salvation.
Adieu to disappointment and spleen. What are men to rocks and mountains?
Jane Austen
Shallow sorrows and shallow loves live on. The loves and sorrows that are great are destroyed by their own plenitude.
It is surprising to me that one of the great crimes of history has gone unnoticed; the abduction of god by religions. This slight-of-hand has been the cause of countless blood-shed and has been found at the root of innumerable acts of evil. The argument continues today, as to which religion the true god belongs, when what would be most healing and empowering is to free god from the shackles of religious limitation and judgment. It is by emancipating god from the ignorance of our ancestors that we become empowered to explore and express our own relationship with what god may or may not be.
Steve Maraboli
Honesty always sounds like impudence to the vain and stupid.
Orson Scott Card
Then, instead of telling her that where there was life there was hope, or to let a smile be her umbrella, or that it was always darkest just before the dawn, or anything else that had just lately fallen out of the dog's ass, she simply held her. Because sometimes only holding was best. That was one of the things she had taught that man whose last name she had taken for her own--that sometimes it was best to be quiet; sometimes it was best to just shut your everlasting mouth and hang on, hang on, hang on.
Hearts can break. Yes, hearts can break. Sometimes I think it would be better if we died when they did, but we don't.
Die Sinnlichkeit übereilt oft das Wachsthum der Liebe, so dass die Wurzel schwach bleibt und leicht auszureissen ist.
That's the difference between governments and individuals. Governments don't care, individuals do.
Mark Twain
If eyes were made for seeing, then beauty is its own excuse for being
Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do, and I gave the common-sensical reply that we don't have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage.
Gloria Steinem
By the year 2000 we will, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God.
Law and justice are not always the same. When they aren't, destroying the law may be the first step toward changing it.
Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritation and resentments slip away, and a sunny spirit takes their place.
A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.
Pornography is the instruction. Rape is the practice, battered women are the practice, and battered children are the practice.
