The greenhorn is the ultimate victor in everything; it is he that gets the most out of life.

G. K. Chesterton

I had to come from something, come from a place that was negative and positive but the majority of it is a negative place.

The most threatened group in human societies as in animal societies is the unmated male: the unmated male is more likely to wind up in prison or in an asylum or dead than his mated counterpart. He is less likely to be promoted at work and he is considered a poor credit risk.

Germaine Greer

Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they're doing and saying in films right now just shouldn't be allowed. There's no dignity anymore and I think that's very important.

Mae West

Uncertainty is a temptress. We may try our best to avoid her. But what is certain is that at some point of time, she will find us.

David Mamet

He is a modest little man who has a good deal to be modest about.

Sir Winston Churchill

Among those who dislike oppression are many who like to oppress.

Napoleon Bonaparte
