We need never be hopeless because we can never be irreperably broken.

It is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.

Edgar Allan Poe

When you get to be President, there are all those things, the honors, the twenty-one gun salutes, all those things. You have to remember it isn't for you. It's for the Presidency.

I promise to charm the dickens out of him,' said Will, sitting up and readjusting his crushed hat.

'He may well have the problem anyway.

Cassandra Clare

Show him who I am, so he will pity me instead of fearing me. And then we can turn pity into compassion, and compassion into understanding, and understanding into affection, and affection into love, and love into life, the life of our children, the life of the new self we will become together.

Orson Scott Card

We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.

Design is not just what it looks like. Design is how it works.

Steve Jobs, Quote from 2003 New

Everything we feel is made of Time. All the beauties of life are shaped by it.

Mark Twain

Yvette Clarke

I feel that we will continue to have a non-violent movement, and we will continue to find the vast majority of Negroes committed to non-violence, at least as the best tactical approach and from a pragmatic point of view as the best strategy in dealing with the problem of racial injustice. Realism impels me to admit, however, that when there is justice and the pursuit of justice, violence appears, and where there is injustice and frustration, the potentialities for violence are greater, and I would like to strongly stress the point that the more we can achieve victories through non-violence, the more it will be possible to keep the non-violent discipline at the center of the movement. But the more we find individuals facing conditions of frustration, conditions of disappointment and seething despair as a result of the slow pace of things and the failure to change conditions, the more it will be possible for the apostles of violence to interfere.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.
