Love is a gift. You can't buy it, you can't find it, someone has to give it to you. Learn to be receptive of that gift.

Our young people have come to look upon war as a kind of beneficent deity, which not only adds to the national honor but uplifts a nation and develops patriotism and courage. That is all true. But it is only fair, too, to let them know that the garments of the deity are filthy and that some of her influences debase and befoul a people.

I eventually became proud of my strikeouts, because each one represented another learning experience.

Willie Stargell

Anger is an expensive luxury in which only men of a certain income can indulge.

St. Gregory The Great

Defense is the stronger form with the negative object, and attack the weaker form with the positive object.

Ernest Hemingway

If justice is removed... the great, the immense fabric of human society...must in a moment crumble into atoms.

Adam Smith

Medical knowledge and technical savvy are biodegradable. The sort of medicine that was practiced in Boston or New York or Atlanta fifty years ago would be as strange to a medical student or intern today as the ceremonial dance of a !Kung San tribe would seem to a rock festival audience in Hackensack.

Lewis Thomas

Since obscenity is the truth of our passion today, it is the only stuff of art - or almost the only stuff.

David Herbert Lawrence

Optimism with some experience behind it is much more energizing than plain old experience with a certain degree of cynicism.

George Clooney's 'Ides of March' could be the most under-appreciated movie of the year. In 20 years they're gonna go back and say, 'Oh, that was American politics in that time period.' I follow politics, I love it, and that movie is so authentic.

Harvey Weinstein

I do think sometimes there's danger in guest appearance mania. I've seen too many examples that sound cool on paper, like 'Oh, get that guy to sing the hook on that guy's song,' and then that's all it is. It's a cool idea that sounds good on paper.

Ezra Koenig

Institutional psychiatry is a continuation of the Inquisition. All that has really changed is the vocabulary and the social style. The vocabulary conforms to the intellectual expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-medical jargon that parodies the concepts of science. The social style conforms to the political expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-liberal social movement that parodies the ideals of freedom and rationality.

Thomas Szasz

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.
