Do you know what a soldier is, young man? He's the chap who makes it possible for civilized folk to despise war.

Allan Massie

I've always been a fan of science fiction films, and I've never been able to put my particular spin on it.

Ivan Reitman

God help us from those who believe that they are the sole possessors of truth. How we manage at times to agree willingly to become prisoners within our own minds and souls of beliefs and ideas on which we can never be flexible.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

How vainly shall we endeavor to repress crime by our barbarous punishment of the poorer class of criminals so long as children are reared in the brutalizing influences of poverty, so long as the bite of want drives men to crime.

Henry George

Love is not to be purchased, and affection has no price.

St. Jerome
