Democracy is the process by which people choose the man who'll get the blame.

I just want to be loved, is that so wrong?!

Harvey Fierstein

So in my uncertainty, I went to graduate school and there it all happened.

Ted Nelson

It is harder to conceal ignorance than to acquire knowledge.

Arnold H. Glasow

It is surprising to me that one of the great crimes of history has gone unnoticed; the abduction of god by religions. This slight-of-hand has been the cause of countless blood-shed and has been found at the root of innumerable acts of evil. The argument continues today, as to which religion the true god belongs, when what would be most healing and empowering is to free god from the shackles of religious limitation and judgment. It is by emancipating god from the ignorance of our ancestors that we become empowered to explore and express our own relationship with what god may or may not be.

Each man is a hero and an oracle to somebody.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but boys it is all hell.

Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.

Benjamin Franklin

I was amazed and upset by the looks I got just walking around the studio... It illuminates the ugliness and the beauty that exists within each of us, and that's what this story represents to me.

Gerard Butler

Women get the attention when we get into the men's arena, and that's sad.

Billie Jean King

One of the grat tragedies of life is that men seldom bridge the gulf between practice and profession, between doing and saying. A persistent schizophrenia leaves so many of us tragically divided against ourselves. On the one hand, we proudly profess certain sublime and noble principles, but on the other hand, we sadly practise the very antithesis of these principles. How often are our lives characterised by a high blood pressure of creeds and an anaemia of deeds! We talk eloquently about our commitment to the principles of Christianity, and yet our lives are saturated with the practices of paganism. We proclaim our devotion to democracy, but we sadly practise the very opposite of the democratic creed. We talk passionately about peace, and at the same time we assiduously prepare for war. We make our fervent pleas for the high road of justice, and then we tread unflinchingly the low road of injustice. This strange dichotomy, this agonising gulf between the and the , represents the tragic theme of man's earthly pilgrimage.

Martin Luther King Jr.

It's a different era. Our job now is to show leadership and vision and to help the next generation of artists.

We have a vision of South Africa in which black and white shall live and work together as equals in conditions of peace and prosperity.
