From the moment of birth, when the stone-age baby confronts the twentieth-century mother, the baby is subjected to these forces of violence, called love, as its mother and father have been, and their parents and their parents before them. These forces are mainly concerned with destroying most of its potentialities. This enterprise is on the whole successful.

There is nothing to which men cling more tenaciously than the privileges of class.

Leonard Sidney Woolf

Let your will burn in this fire so that it takes you nowhere else. Let your self be burned in this fire of eternity, love and peace. Don't be afraid of this fire, it is love itself. This desire for freedom is the fire of love!

Sri H.W.L. Poonja

I'm open to play for anybody that would give me respect, treat me the right way, and actually going to make me feel comfortable.

Pedro Martinez

The optimist sees the donut, the pessimist sees the hole.

Oscar Wilde

When you don't have any money, the problem is food, When you have money, it's sex. When you have both, its. It's health, If everything is simple, then you're frightened of death.

J. P. Donleavy

I feel like in America, we don't have a kid problem. You think about all these issues that these kids are dealing with, we have an adult problem. We have adults that do not place the priority on our kids to get a valuable education.

Alonzo Mourning

The world's biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman.

Chanakya

I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes, so live not in your yesterdays, no just for tomorrow, but in the here and now. Keep moving and forget the post mortems and remember, no one can get the jump on the future.

Carl Sandburg

A short absence is the safest.

Ovid

How pathetically scanty my self-knowledge is compared with, say, my knowledge of my room. There is no such thing as observation of the inner world, as there is of the outer world.

Franz Kafka

The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.

Woodrow Wilson

What would I have done if I'd been put to the test? Would I have risked my own life for people I hardly knew? Probably, I would have looked the other way at best or become another apologist for evil at worst.
