How excellent it is to have a giant's strength, but it is tyrannous to use like a giant.

Most food you drop is still perfectly edible. If it was in your eyesight the whole time, you can pick it up and eat it.

Mehmet Oz

Man flows at once to God when the channel of purity is open.

Henry David Thoreau

We would rather starve than sell our national honor.

Indira Gandhi

Rhetoric paints with a broad brush.

George Carlin

Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed, to be simple is to be great.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is this concept of politics as a dirty game. It's a difficult game, but it doesn't have to be dirty. I think this is what we need to bring to politics. I think politics around the world has very often been captured by big interests - 'lobbies' they call them in the States.

George Papandreou

The alley and the music all fell away, and there was nothing but her and the rain and Jace, his hands on her. . . He made a noise of surprise, low in his throat, and dug his fingers into the thin fabric of her tights. Not unexpectedly, they ripped, and his wet fingers were suddenly on the bare skin of her legs. Not to be outdone, Clary slid her hands under the hem of his soaked shirt, and let her fingers explore what was underneath: the tight, hot skin over his ribs, the ridges of his abdomen, the scars on his back. This was uncharted territory for her, but it seemed to be driving him crazy: he was moaning softly against her mouth, kissing her harder and harder, as if it would never be enough, not quite enough

Cassandra Clare

Increasingly in recent times we have come first to identify the remedy that is most agreeable, most convenient, most in accord with major pecuniary or political interest, the one that reflects our available faculty for action; then we move from the remedy so available or desired back to a cause to which that remedy is relevant.

John Kenneth Galbraith

I prefer to imagine that my wife, a few friends, and occasionally my mom are the only ones who read what I do, though I realize that this is somewhat unrealistic.

Chris Ware

Too much and too little wine. Give him none, he cannot find truth; give him too much, the same.

Blaise Pascal

Books may be burned and cities sacked, but truth like the yearning for freedom, lives in the hearts of humble men and women

Franklin D. Roosevelt

That attitude that fighting is probably not fair, but you have to defend yourself anyway and damage the enemy, has been profoundly consequential as far as my political activism goes.
