There are few minds to which tyranny is not delightful.

Anything that one imagines of God apart from Christ is only useless thinking and vain idolatry.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I like bats much better than bureaucrats. I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of Admin. The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid dens of crime that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern.

Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy.

Benito Mussolini

Laughter can be more satisfying than honor; more precious than money; more heart-cleansing than prayer.

Harriet Rochlin

Nowadays nothing but money counts: a fortune brings honors, friendships, the poor man everywhere lies low.

Ovid

The typical metrosexual is a young man with money to spend, living in or within easy reach of a metropolis - because that's where all the best shops, clubs, gyms and hairdressers are. He might be officially gay, straight or bisexual, but this is utterly immaterial because he has clearly taken himself as his own love object and pleasure as his sexual preference. Particular professions, such as modeling, waiting tables, media, pop music and, nowadays, sport, seem to attract them but, truth be told, like male vanity products and herpes, they're pretty much everywhere.

Mark Simpson

I am wealth, I am abundance, I am Cosmic Ordering.

Stephen Richards

Going to the cinema is like returning to the womb; you sit there, still and meditative in the darkness, waiting for life to appear on the screen.

Federico Fellini

That's Anil's path. She grows up in Sri Lanka, goes and gets educated abroad, and through fate or chance gets brought back by the Human Rights Commission to investigate war crimes.

Michael Ondaatje

We live in a community of people not so that we can suppress and dominate eachother or make each other miserable but so that we can better and more reliably satisfy all life's healthy needs.

Wilhelm Reich

A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial.

Clifton Fadiman

Swish and flick.
