It would not be an exaggeration to say that the land question in Zimbabwe is the single most decisive one.

It is theory that decides what can be observed.

Albert Einstein

Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.

Joan Collins

We turn toward God only to obtain the impossible.

Albert Camus

Fascism is capitalism in decay.

Lenin (Vladimir Ulyanov)

Science by itself has no moral dimension. But it does seek to establish truth. And upon this truth morality can be built.

William Masters

Unionism, seldom if ever, uses such powers as it has to ensure better work; almost always it devotes a large part of that power to safeguard bad work.

H. L. Mencken

Not a single star will be left in the night. The night will not be left. I will die and, with me, the weight of the intolerable universe. I shall erase the pyramids, the medallions, the continents and faces. I shall erase the accumulated past. I shall make dust of history, dust of dust. Now I am looking on the final sunset. I am hearing the last bird. I bequeath nothingness to no one.

Jorge Luis Borges

We're all dealt with the same hand here, so to speak. I feel like I've had it a lot better than most people. I've had the opportunity to travel and play music all my life.

Levon Helm

Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought. Every man is the lord of a realm beside which the earthly empire of the Czar is but a petty state, a hummock left by the ice. Yet some can be patriotic who have no self-respect, and sacrifice the greater to the less. They love the soil which makes their graves, but have no sympathy with the spirit which may still animate their clay. Patriotism is a maggot in their heads.What was the meaning of that South-Sea Exploring Expedition, with all its parade and expense, but an indirect recognition of the fact that there are continents and seas in the moral world to which every man is an isthmus or an inlet, yet unexplored by him, but that it is easier to sail many thousand miles through cold and storm and cannibals, in a government ship, with five hundred men and boys to assist one, than it is to explore the private sea, the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean of one's being alone.

Henry David Thoreau, Walden, Ch.

A full mind is an empty bat.

Branch Rickey

Bigotry is the disease of ignorance, of morbid minds; enthusiasm of the free and buoyant. Education

Thomas Jefferson

Formerly when great fortunes were only made in war, war was business; but now when great fortunes are only made by business: Business is war!
