If men are honest, everything they do and everywhere they go is for a chance to see women.

This war is not about slavery.

Robert E. Lee

In all things there is a law of cycles.

Tacitus

A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained in arms, is the best most natural defense of a free country.

James Madison

It is not I who become addicted, it is my body.

Jean Cocteau

The fundamental source of all your errors, sophisms, and false reasonings, is a total ignorance of the natural rights of mankind. Were you once to become acquainted with these, you could never entertain a thought, that all men are not, by nature, entitled to a parity of privileges. You would be convinced, that natural liberty is a gift of the beneficent Creator, to the whole human race; and that civil liberty is founded in that; and cannot be wrested from any people, without the most manifest violation of justice. Civil liberty is only natural liberty, modified and secured by the sanctions of civil society. It is not a thing, in its own nature, precarious and dependent on human will and caprice; but it is conformable to the constitution of man, as well as necessary to the well-being of society.

Alexander Hamilton

And let us not remember Italy the less regardfully, because, in every fragment of her fallen Temples, and every stone of her deserted palaces and prisons, she helps to inculcate the lesson that the wheel of Time is rolling for an end, and that the world is, in all great essentials, better, gentler, more forbearing, and more hopeful, as it rolls!

Charles Dickens

I'm happy about my decision and I haven't once said, 'I wonder if I made the wrong decision.' I know it's the right one.

Brett Favre

The surprises of thought are like those of love: they wear out. But here too you can carry on for a long time doing your conjugal duty.

Jean Baudrillard

And it's one thing to give people freedom and something else to deny the rights of Christians to assert their faith in order to keep Hindus from feeling upset.

Pat Robertson

I'm not too into fast food, but you know if I was, it would be chicken.

Giancarlo Esposito

Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.

Joseph Campbell

I try to forget about the expectation that's out there and the audience listening for the next thing so that I'm not trying to please them. I've spent a huge amount of time not communicating with those folks and denying that they exist.

Chuck Palahniuk
