They died hard, those savage men - like wounded wolves at bay. They were filthy, and they were lousy, and they stunk. And I loved them.

I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't.

Audre Lorde

I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you'll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you'll make something that didn't exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind.

Neil Gaiman

If we don't change, millions of American families are just one medical emergency, or one layoff, away from financial disaster and bankruptcy.

Jim Cooper

To be right is dangerous, it has ever been the source of all intolerance.

Dr. Paul Tournier

If you hug to yourself any resentment against anybody else, you destroy the bridge by which God would come to you.

Peter Marshall

I am fascinated by all the new technology that creates places for us to meet in what is called cyberspace. I understand what it must have meant for the rebellions in the 19th century, especially in 1830 and 1848, when the mass circulated newspaper became so important for the spreading of information.

Henning Mankell

When I first broke through, there was only NBC, CBS and ABC, and they had news in the morning and in the evening - there wasn't no 24-hour news.

Dick Gregory

The best thing a man can do for his culture when he is rich is to endeavor to carry out those schemes which he entertained when he was poor

Henry David Thoreau

He disliked emotion, not because he felt lightly, but because he felt deeply.

John Buchan

Failure too is a form of death...

Graham Greene

Contrary to popular belief and hope, people don't usually come running when they hear a scream. That's not how humans work. Humans look at other humans and say, 'Did you hear a scream?' because the first scream might have been you screaming inside your head, or a horse backfiring.

Terry Pratchett

She laughs at everything you say. Why? Because she has fine teeth.

Benjamin Franklin
