Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.

The great art of life is to moderate our passions. Objects of affection are like other belongings. We must love them enough to enrich our lives while we have them, not enough to impoverish our lives when they are gone.

C.S. Lewis

Women are an enslaved population -- the crop we harvest is children, the fields we work are houses. Women are forced into committing sexual acts with men that violate integrity because the universal religion -- contempt for women -- has as its first commandment that women exist purely as sexual fodder for men.

Andrea Dworkin

Mass communication, radio, and especially television, have attempted, not without success, to annihilate every possibility of solitude and reflection.

Eugenio Montale

The time I kill is killing me.

Mason Cooley

The less justified a man is in claiming excellence for his own self, the more ready he is to claim all excellence for his nation, his religion, his race or his holy cause... A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding; when it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people's business.

Eric Hoffer, Thoughts on the Nat

The man who acquires the ability to take full possession of his own mind may take possession of anything else to which he justly entitled.

Andrew Carnegie

Fear always springs from ignorance

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear.

Judy Blume

Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.

Mahatma Gandhi

Cock your hat - angles are attitudes.

Frank Sinatra

Is pale cold cowardice in noble breasts.

William Shakespeare

People either have comedy or they don't. You can't teach it to them.

Lucille Ball
