Stop being a victim of your own circumstances

Steve Maraboli

A poem conveys not a message so much as the provenance of a message, an advent of sense.

Thomas Harrison

Marie de France

...the taste of chocolate is a sensual pleasure in itself, existing in the same world as sex... For myself, I can enjoy the wicked pleasure of chocolate...entirely by myself. Furtiveness makes it better.

Sexual satisfaction eases the stranglehold of materialism, since status symbols no longer look sexual, but irrelevant. Product lust weakens where emotional and sexual lust intensifies. The price we pay for artificially buoying up this market is our heart's desire. The beauty myth keeps a gap of fantasy between men and women. That gap is made with mirrors; no law of nature supports it. It keeps us spending vast sums of money and looking distractedly around us, but its smoke and reflection interfere with our freedom to be sexually ourselves.

Naomi Wolf

Napoleon Bonaparte

Similarly, thought is a system. That system not only includes thought and feelings, but it includes the state of the body it includes the whole of society - as thought is passing back and forth between people in a process by which thought evolved from ancient times.

David Bohm

The Play's the Thing, wherein I'll catch the conscience of the King.

William Shakespeare

Great Britain has lost an Empire and has not yet found a role.

Dean Acheson

Not everyone is lucky enough to be given space and trust.

Vanessa Paradis
