In doing good, we are generally cold, and languid, and sluggish; and of all things afraid of being too much in the right. But the works of malice and injustice are quite in another style. They are finished with a bold, masterly hand; touched as they are with the spirit of those vehement passions that call forth all our energies, whenever we oppress and persecute.

We used to dream about this stuff. Now we get to build it. It's pretty great.

Steve Jobs

But no language is perfect, no vocabulary is adequate to the wealth of the given universe, no pattern of words and sentences, however rich, however subtle, can do justice to the interconnected Gestalts with which experience presents us. Consequently the phenomenal forms of our name-conditioned universe are by nature delusory and fallacious. Wisdom comes only to those who have learned how to talk and read and write without taking language more seriously than it deserves. As the only begotten of civilization and even of our humanity, language must be taken very seriously. Seriously, too, as an instrument (when used with due caution) for thinking about the relationships between phenomena. But it must never be taken seriously when it is used, as in the old creedal religions and their modern political counterparts, as being in any way the equivalents of immediate experience or as being a source of true knowledge about the nature of things.

Aldous Huxley

And whether it is equal pay, health care, Social Security, or family leave, this Congress has refused to address issues critical to hard-working American women.

Louise Slaughter

Lovers quarrels are the renewal of love.

Terence

We didn't get great goals. We just scored no-fear goals. Heart goals.

Rich Pilon

In the long-run every Government is the exact symbol of its People, with their wisdom and unwisdom we have to say, Like People; like Government.

Thomas Carlyle

Keep your freedom, keep your immortality, but somewhere along the line I hope you figure out what you're living forever for. What noble purpose you mean to achieve. Because you're no good to anyone here, not even yourselves.

Orson Scott Card

I believe that sometimes you have to look reality in the eye and deny it.

Garrison Keillor

He mouths a sentence as curs mouth a bone.

Charles Churchill

If you have parents with a healthy relationship, you don't learn that you don't have to be married. I thought being a healthy adult meant you had to have a spouse. I didn't know any different.

Alyssa Milano

Metaphors are much more tenacious than facts.

Paul De Man

If you don't want my God here, you don't want me here either. God has been too good to me to go and try to sell out to get some money.
