Fortune, which has a great deal of power in other matters but especially in war, can bring about great changes in a situation through very slight forces.

Your journey never ends. Life has a way of changing things in incredible ways.

Alexander Volkov

I'm saying to be a hero is means you step across the line and are willing to make a sacrifice, so heroes always are making a sacrifice. Heroes always take a risk. Heroes always deviant. Heroes always doing something that most people don't and we want to change - I want to democratise heroism to say any of us can be a hero.

Philip Zimbardo

The only reason why I would like to be accepted? Because if your movies don't do well, after a while you don't get to make any more movies.

Another source of power in government is a military force. But this, to be efficient, must be superior to any force that exists among the people, or which they can command; for otherwise this force would be annihilated, on the first exercise of acts of oppression. Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealous will instantly inspire the inclination to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive...

Noah Webster

The philosopher must station themselves in the middle.

I have made this letter longer, because I have not had the time to make it shorter.

Blaise Pascal, Lettres provincia

I am lord of myself, accountable to none.

Benjamin Franklin

Nothing can be more contemptible than to suppose Public Records to be true.

William Blake

Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging; and who is deceived by it is not wise.

Bible

The young people have MTV and rock and roll. Why would they go to read poetry? Poetry belongs to the Stone Age. It awakens in us perceptions that go back to those times.
