Flora Edwards

We are beginning to wonder whether a servant girl hasn't the best of it after all. She knows how the salad tastes without the dressing, and she knows how life's lived before it gets to the parlor door.

Djuna Barnes

Style may defined as the proper words in the proper places.

Jonathan Swift

The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.

Walter Lippmann

Mitt Romney

Antonio Gramsci

The brave man inattentive to his duty, is worth little more to his country than the coward who deserts in the hour of danger.

Andrew Jackson

But the truth of the matter is, we're an open society, we want to remain an open society, and there will continue to be vulnerability. That's why we have to meet the threats when they are not yet taking place on our territory and on our soil.

Condoleezza Rice

He knows nothing and he thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career.

George Bernard Shaw
