In my considered opinion, salary is payment for goods delivered and it must conform to the law of supply and demand. If, therefore, the fixed salary is a violation of this law - as, for instance, when I see two engineers leaving college together and both equally well trained and efficient, and one getting forty thousand while the other only earns two thousand , or when lawyers and hussars, possessing no special qualifications, are appointed directors of banks with huge salaries - I can only conclude that their salaries are not fixed according to the law of supply and demand but simply by personal influence. And this is an abuse important in itself and having a deleterious effect on government service.

On this night I had searched for them without success, fearing to find them; they were nowhere in the house, nor about the moonlit dawn.

Ambrose Bierce

Annie Dillard

Be yourself is about the worst advice you can give to some people.

Thomas L. Masson

I am black: I am the incarnation of a complete fusion with the world, an intuitive understanding of the earth, an abandonment of my ego in the heart of the cosmos, and no white man, no matter how intelligent he may be, can ever understand Louis Armstrong and the music of the Congo.

Frantz Fanon

A man committed suicide by overdosing on decongestant tablets.All they found was a pile of dust.

Steven Wright

I was adored once too.
