It's only when you're flying above it that you realize how incredible the Earth really is.
This is the irrational seasonWhere love blooms bright and wild.Had Mary been filled with reasonThere'd have been no room for the child.
Madeleine L'Engle, Weather of th
There is no greater impotence in all the world like knowing you are right and that the wave of the world is wrong, yet the wave crashes upon you.
Norman Mailer, Armies of the Nig
It is requisite the government be so constituted as one man need not be afraid of another.

A Friend is a treasure. More precious than Gold, For love shared is priceless And never grows old.

And the joy of it all; when we count it all up; is found in the making of friends.
A man never likes you so well as when he leaves your company liking himself.
A ray of sunshine, a balmy breeze Are a gift from God above, And He also gives us faithful friends. To warm our hearts with love.
Build bridges instead of walls and you will have a friend.
A friend once wrote: Give me your faith, not your doubts.
A friend walks in when everyone else walks out
A Friendship that's sincere are true. Gives joy like nothing else will do; That's why glad hearts look up and send A prayer of thanks for faithful friends.
Among Life's precious jewels, Genuine and rare, The one that we call friendship Has worth beyond compare.
Friendship should be a responsibility, never an opportunity.
Make new friends but keep the old ones; one is silver and the other's gold.
Friendship is love with understanding.
I have always been principally interested in men for sex. I've always thought any sane woman would be a lover of women because loving men is such a mess. I have always wished I'd fall in love with a woman. Damn.
Germaine Greer
Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions. The conservatives who saw this as the undermining of our civilization and the end of the state and marriage were right after all; it is time for the demolition to begin.
Perhaps women have always been in closer contact with reality than men: it would seem to be the just recompense for being deprived of idealism.
The most threatened group in human societies as in animal societies is the unmated male: the unmated male is more likely to wind up in prison or in an asylum or dead than his mated counterpart. He is less likely to be promoted at work and he is considered a poor credit risk.
The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.
Security is when everything is settled. When nothing can happen to you. Security is the denial of life.
There is no such thing as security. There never has been.
Every time a man unburdens his heart to a stranger he reaffirms the love that unites humanity.
The blind conviction that we have to do something about other people's reproductive behavior, and that we may have to do it whether they like it or not, derives from the assumption that the world belongs to us, who have so expertly depleted its resources, rather than to them, who have not.
It is fatally easy for Western folk, who have discarded chastity as a value for themselves, to suppose that it can have no value for anyone else. At the same time as Californians try to re-invent celibacy, by which they seem to mean perverse restraint, the rest of us call societies which place a high value on chastity backward.
It is in our interests to let the police and their employers go on believing that the Underground is a conspiracy, because it increases their paranoia and their inability to deal with what is really happening. As long as they look for ringleaders and documents they will miss their mark, which is that proportion of every personality which belongs in the Underground.
Older women can afford to agree that femininity is a charade, a matter of colored hair, ecru lace and whalebones, the kind of slap and tat that transvestites are in love with, and no more.
A woman might claim to retain some of the child's faculties, although very limited and defused, simply because she has not been encouraged to learn methods of thought and develop a disciplined mind. As long as education remains largely induction ignorance will retain these advantages over learning and it is time that women impudently put them to work.
We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.
Riches do not delight us so much with their possession, as torment us with their loss.
Dick Gregory
Civil Rights: What black folks are given in the U.S. on the installment plan, as in civil-rights bills. Not to be confused with human rights, which are the dignity, stature, humanity, respect, and freedom belonging to all people by right of their birth.
And we love to dance -- especially that new one called the Civil War Twist. The Northern part of you stands still while the Southern part tries to secede.
You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
John P. Grier
Oh, how bitter it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes.
Sir Wilfred T. Grenfell
The only way a kid is going to practice is if it's total fun for him... and it was for me.
Wayne Gretzky
The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.
We have taken beauty and exchanged it for stilted voices.
D.W. (David Wark) Griffith
I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way: The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear, fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear.
Edgar A. Guest
You ought to be true for the sake of the folks who think you are true. You never should stoop to a deed that your folks think you would not do. If you are false to yourself, be the blemish but small, you have injured your folks; you have been false to them all.
