I glanced again. He was still watching me.Look, let me just say it: He was hot. A nonhot boy stares at you relentlessly and it is, at best, awkward and, at worst, a form of assault. But a hot boy... well.

Affection between adults - if they are really adult in mind and not merely grown up children - and creatures so relatively selfish and cruel as children necessarily are without knowing it or meaning it, cannot be called natural

George Bernard Shaw

The real trouble is that 'kindness' is a quality fatally easy to attribute to ourselves on quite inadequate grounds. Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment. Thus a man easily comes to console himself for all his other vices by a conviction that 'his heart's in the right place' and 'he wouldn't hurt a fly,' though in fact he has never made the slightest sacrifice for a fellow creature. We think we are kind when we are only happy: it is not so easy, on the same grounds, to imagine oneself temperate, chaste, or humble.

C.S. Lewis

Democracy is also a form of religion. It is the worship of jackals by jackasses.

H. L. Mencken

There are a lot of grotesqueries in politics, not the least of which is the fund-raising side.

Jack Kemp

I don't like to boast, but I have probably skipped more poetry than any other person of my age and weight in this country.

Will Cuppy

I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.

Hunter S. Thompson

A man is the sum of his ancestors; to reform him you must begin with a dead ape and work downward through a million graves. He is like the lower end of a suspended chain; you can sway him slightly to the right or the left, but remove your hand and he falls into line with the other links.

Ambrose Bierce

Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it...

Wilferd Peterson

Men are not suffering from the lack of good literature, good art, good theatre, good music, but from that which has made it impossible for these to become manifest. In short, they are suffering from the silent shameful conspiracy (the more shameful since it is unacknowledged) which has bound them together as enemies of art and artists.

Henry Miller

A doctrinaire is a fool but an honest man.

Lord Melbourne

All life is in vain, for Death makes a nonsense of pain.

Gasmaskman

What every man who loves his country hopes for in his inmost heart: the suppression of half his compatriots.

Emil Cioran
