Man has imagined a heaven, and has left entirely out of it the supremest of all his delights...sexual intercourse!...His heaven is like himself: strange, interesting, astonishing, grotesque. I give you my word, it has not a single feature in it that he actually values.

He has the lucidity which is the by-product of a fundamentally sterile mind. He does not have to struggle... with the crowded pulsations of a fecund imagination. On the contrary he is almost devoid of imagination.

Aneurin Bevan

I don't think that the feminist movement has done much for the characters of women.

Doris Lessing

Leon Trotsky

I think I could be a good woman if I had five thousand a year.

Becky Sharp

Tadao Ando

And even though he felt pitiful and ridiculous, he didn't want it to end, because he knew the absence of her would hurt more than any breakup ever could.

John Green

Stop your complaining, stop your doctoring; this tumult has arisen and is direct from above, and it will not cease till it makes all the adversaries of the Word like the mud on the streets. But it is sad to have to remind a theologian like you of these things, as if you were a pupil instead of one who ought to be teaching others.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I'm jamming 'Black Sabbath Vol. 4' all the time. Zappa's 'Cruising With Ruben &amp The Jets.' A lot of Gong lately. Some Hawkwind. The Residents' 'Duck Stab' is amazing. Some Fugs. Lots of stuff, man. I'm pretty schizophrenic with records.

Ty Segall

Pop music is not a threatening style of music.

Joan Jett

Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding.

Mahatma Gandhi

Some newspapers are fit only to line the bottom of bird cages.

Spiro T. Agnew

Prudence is but experience, which equal time, equally bestows on all men, in those things they equally apply themselves unto.

Thomas Hobbes
