History books that contain no lies are extremely dull.

If you think technology can solve your security problems, then you don't understand the problems and you don't understand the technology.

Bruce Schneier

We are motivated more by aversion to the unpleasant than by a will toward truth, freedom, or healing. We are constantly attempting to escape our life, to avoid rather than enter our pain we, and we wonder why it is so difficult to be fully alive. (43)

Stephen Levine

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

Eugene Delacroix

What a revolution in her ideas!

Jane Austen

Novelists are not equipped to make a movie, in my opinion. They make their own movie when they write: they're casting, they're dressing the scene, they're working out where the energy of the scene is coming from and they're also relying tremendously on the creative imagination of the reader.

John le Carre

It takes twenty years to become an overnight success.

Eddie Cantor

My mind boggles at the amount of violence inflicted upon children in today's society.

Samantha Morton

They imply, first of all, that it must be a peace without victory. It is not pleasant to say this. I beg that I may be permitted to put my own interpretation upon it and that it may be understood that no other interpretation was in my thought. I am seeking only to face realities and to face them without soft concealments. Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser, a victor's terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand. Only a peace between equals can last, only a peace the very principle of which is equality and a common participation in a common benefit. The right state of mind, the right feeling between nations, is as necessary for a lasting peace as is the just settlement of vexed questions of territory or of racial and national allegiance.

the truth will set u free but first it will piss u off

Albert Borris

No one is willing to believe that adults too, like children, wander about this earth in a daze and, like children, do not know where they come from or where they are going, act as rarely as they do according to genuine motives, and are as thoroughly governed as they are by biscuits and cake and the rod.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I think that food ties us to our community and our traditions, and it's the thing that makes us feel good and connected.

Let people go all the way if they have got the balls for it.
