We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.

Nearly all our older poetry was written and read by men to whom the distinction between poetry and rhetoric, in its modern form, would have been meaningless. The 'beauties' which they chiefly regarded in every composition were those which we either dislike or simply do not notice.This change of taste makes an invisible wall between us and them.

C.S. Lewis

You spend your entire life becoming God and then you die.

Chuck Palahniuk

Beauty saves. Beauty heals. Beauty motivates. Beauty unites. Beauty returns us to our origins, and here lies the ultimate act of saving, of healing, of overcoming dualism.

Matthew Fox

I don't hate women - they just sometimes make me mad.

Eminem

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.

Friedrich Nietzsche

For other nations, utopia is a blessed past never to be recovered; for Americans it is just beyond the horizon.

Henry Kissinger

If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character, would you slow down? Or speed up?

Chuck Palahniuk

Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.

Oscar Wilde

I shall always be a priest of love.

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

Nothing in the world is more haughty than a man of moderate capacity when once raised to power.

Baron Wessenberg

Talk about slavery! It is not the peculiar institution of the South. It exists wherever men are bought and sold, wherever a man allows himself to be made a mere thing or a tool, and surrenders his inalienable rights of reason and conscience. Indeed, this slavery is more complete than that which enslaves the body alone... I never yet met with, or heard of, a judge who was not a slave of this kind, and so the finest and most unfailing weapon of injustice. He fetches a slightly higher price than the black men only because he is a more valuable slave.

Henry David Thoreau

Every offense is avenged on earth.

Johann von Goethe
