There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.

Oscar Wilde

Man cannot live by incompetence alone.

Charlotte Whitton

It now seemed to me that all my other guesses had been only self-pleasing dreams spun out of my wishes, but now I was awake.

C.S. Lewis

Dr. FRANKLIN mentioned the case of the Prince of Orange William V, during the late war. An arrangement was made between France and Holland, by which their two fleets were to unite at a certain time and place. The Dutch fleet did not appear. Every body began to wonder at it. At length it was suspected that the stadtholder was at the bottom of the matter. This suspicion prevailed more and more. Yet, as he could not be impeached, and no regular examination took place, he remained in his office; and strengthening his own party, as the party opposed to him became formidable, he gave birth to the most violent animosities and contentions. Had he been impeachable, a regular and peaceful inquiry would have taken place, and he would, if guilty, have been duly punished,if innocent, restored to the confidence of the public.

Benjamin Franklin

The tyrant grinds down his slaves and they don't turn against him, they crush those beneath them.

Emily Bronte

Jean Piaget

Description is what makes the reader a sensory participant in the story. Good description is a learned skill,one of the prime reasons you cannot succeed unless you read a lot and write a lot. It's not just a question of how-to, you see; it's a question of how much to. Reading will help you answer how much, and only reams of writing will help you with the how. You can learn only by doing.

Stephen King

Form and function are a unity, two sides of one coin. In order to enhance function, appropriate form must exist or be created.

Ida P. Rolf

Andrew P. Morrison, The Culture

Time alone reveals the just man but you might discern a bad man in a single day.

Sophocles

She was not a women likely to settle for equality when sex gave her an advantage.

Anthony Delano

I came from a real tough neighborhood. Why, every time I shut the window I hurt somebody's fingers.
