A man whose eyes love opens risks his soul -His dancing breaks beyond the mind's control.

War, it will be seen, is now a purely internal affair. In the past, the ruling groups of all countries, although they might recognize their common interest and therefore limit the destructiveness of war, did fight against one another, and the victor always plundered the vanquished. In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact.

George Orwell

Religiosity turns out to be the best indicator of civic involvement: it's more accurate than education, age, income, gender or race.

Jonathan Sacks

Silence is as full of potential wisdom and wit as the unhewn marble of a great sculpture.

Aldous Huxley

I remember saying goodbye to my father the night he left to join the Navy. He didn't have to. He was older than other servicemen and had a family to support but he wanted to be a part of the fight against fascism, not just make movies about it. I admired this about him.

Jane Fonda

everything comes in time to him who knows how to wait . . . there is nothing stronger than these two: patience and time, they will do it all.

Leo Tolstoy

All abuse and violence are abominations against humanity!

Timothy Pina

Life does not happen to us, it happens from us.

Michael Wickett

Pessimists are not boring. Pessimists are right. Pessimists are superfluous.

Elias Canetti

What would life be if we didn't shake and wake ourselves up once and a while

Heather Richards

Razors pain you; rivers are damp; acids stain you; and drugs cause cramp. Guns aren't lawful; nooses give; gas smells awful; you might as well live.

Dorothy Parker

That action alone is just that does not harm either party to a dispute

Mahatma Gandhi

Children make your life important.
