Crime seems to change character when it crosses a bridge or a tunnel. In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs, though, it's intimate and psychological -- resistant to generalization, a mystery of the individual soul.

He does much who loves God much, and he does much who does his deed well, and he does his deed well who does it rather for the common good than for his own will.

Thomas Kempis

Food compulsion isn't a character disorder it's a chemical disorder.

Robert Atkins

Be careful whom you choose to love. This decision will impact your future life and happiness in ways you cannot yet imagine.

Toni Coleman

If civilization had been left in female hands we would still be living in grass huts.

Camille Anna Paglia

Our roots are in the dark; the earth is our country. Why did we look up for blessing -- instead of around, and down? What hope we have lies there. Not in the sky full of orbiting spy-eyes and weaponry, but in the earth we have looked down upon. Not from above, but from below. Not in the light that blinds, but in the dark that nourishes, where human beings grow human souls.

Ursula K. LeGuin

In fact, the confidence of the people is worth more than money.

Carter G. Woodson

There is a division within the neo-conservative movement, which is, by the way, one of the tests of its authenticity as a tendency. I would say I was a supporter of Paul Wolfowitz.

Christopher Hitchens

Nothing makes one so vain as being told that one is a sinner.

Oscar Wilde

The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.

Steve Biko

Forbidden things have a secret charm.

Tacitus

I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass.

David Lee Roth
