It's only with great vulgarity that you can achieve real refinement, only out of bawdy that you can get tenderness.

The impact of violent video games upon children is not as clearly established as the impact of violent television programming. Young children possess an instinctive desire to imitate actions they observe, without always possessing the intellect or maturity to determine if such actions are appropriate. Due to their role-modeling capacity to promote real world violence, there is deep concern that playing violent video games, with their fully digitized human images, will cause children to become more aggressive toward other children and become more tolerant of, and more likely to engage in, real-life violence.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Until we have a better relationship between private performance and the public truth, as was demonstrated with Watergate, we as the public are absolutely right to remain suspicious, contemptuous even, of the secrecy and the misinformation which is the digest of our news.

John le Carre

Bigot, one who is obstinately and zealously attached to an opinion that you do not entertain.

Ambrose Bierce

Oh God, God, why did you take such trouble to force this creature out of its shell if it is now doomed to crawl back -- to be sucked back -- into it?

C.S. Lewis

It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives.

Anthony Robbins
