I am a Democrat. I have been one all of my life.

Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see it is above, not against them.

Blaise Pascal

Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.

Albert Camus

A man is as good as he has to be, and a woman as bad as she dares.

Elbert Hubbard

You can be good for the mere sake of goodness; you cannot be bad for the mere sake of badness. You can do a kind action when you are not feeling kind and when it gives you no pleasure, simply because kindness is right; but no one ever did a cruel action simply because cruelty is wrong - only because cruelty is pleasant or useful to him, In other words, badness cannot succeed even in being bad in the same way in which goodness is good. Goodness is, so to speak, itself: badness is only spoiled goodness. And there must be something good first before it can be spoiled.

C.S. Lewis

Write verse, not poetry. The public wants verse. If you have a talent for poetry, then don't by any means mother it, but try your hand at verse.

Robert W. Service

Now all the knowledge and wisdom that is in creatures, whether angels or men, is nothing else but a participation of that one eternal, immutable and increased wisdom of God, or several signatures of that one archetypal seal, or like so many multiplied reflections of one and the same face, made in several glasses, whereof some are clearer, some obscurer, some standing nearer, some further off.

Ralph J. Cudworth

A body is a body, but only voices are capable of love

Ricardo Piglia

All vital truth contains the memory of all that for which it is not true.

David Herbert Lawrence

Men now monopolize the upper levels... depriving women of their rightful share of opportunities for incompetence.

Laurence J. Peter

In theory there is a possibility of perfect happiness: To believe in the indestructible element within one, and not to strive towards it.

Franz Kafka

It ain't sin if you crack a few laws now and then, just so long as you don't break any.

Mae West

Hollywood has gone from Pola to Polaroid.
