Murderers are not monsters, they're men. And that's the most frightening thing about them.

So why am I facing a recall election? Simple: the big government union bosses from Washington want their money. They don't like the fact that I did something fundamentally pro-worker something that's truly about freedom.

Scott Walker

He was too well accustomed to suffering, and had suffered too much where he was, to bewail the prospect of change very severely.

Charles Dickens

Truth is inner harmony.

Walther Rathenau

A cynic is a blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, and not as they ought to be.

Ambrose Bierce

Human judgment of human actions is true and void , that is to say, first true and then void.... The judgment of the word is true, the judgment in itself is void.... Only he who is a party can really judge, but as a party he cannot judge. Hence it follows that there is no possibility of judgment in the world, only a glimmer of it.

Franz Kafka

You cannot be friends upon any other terms than upon the terms of equality.

Woodrow Wilson

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

Thomas Jefferson

I think there are some people in life who are not marriage material and Chris is one of them.

Sharon Gless

For your own good is a persuasive argument that will eventually make a man agree to his own destruction.

Janet Frame

Art is something absolute, something positive, which gives power just as food gives power. While creative science is a mental food, art is the satisfaction of the soul.

Hans Hofmann

The postmodern reply to the modern consists of recognizing that the past, since it cannot really be destroyed, because its destruction leads to silence, must be revisited: but with irony, not innocently. I think of the postmodern attitude as that of a man who loves a very cultivated woman and knows he cannot say to her, I love you madly, because he knows that she knows (and that she knows that he knows) that these words have already been written by Barbara Cartland. Still, there is a solution. He can say, As Barbara Cartland would put it, I love you madly.

Umberto Eco

Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.

William James
