None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free.

This is a value-added college education if I have heard one described. And what is the most remarkable about Delaware State University graduates - is they just keeping giving back.

Michael N. Castle

The cancer doesn't bother me. I have great faith that the technology will beat it.

Henry Cisneros

It is not possible for civilization to flow backward while there is youth in the world. Youth may be headstrong, but it will advance its allotted length.

Helen Keller

Fear can make all of us do the wrong things sometimes.

Vanessa Paradis

When you see violence in movies in general, it's very quick and painless, which isn't what it's like.

Vincent Cassel

Men's hearts ought not to be set against one another, but set with one another, and all against evil only.

Thomas Carlyle

One way to make sure crime doesn't pay would be to let the government run it.

Ronald Reagan

We made happy sounds because we were upset... just trying to make a positive situation out of a negative one.

Ian Williams

Libraries are reservoirs of strength, grace and wit, reminders of order, calm and continuity, lakes of mental energy, neither warm nor cold, light nor dark.

Germaine Greer

Quakers almost as good as colored. They call themselves friends and you can trust them every time.

Harriet Tubman

Let us consider letters - how they come at breakfast, and at night, with their yellow stamps and their green stamps, immortalized by the postmark - for to see one's own envelope on another's table is to realize how soon deeds sever and become alien. Then at last the power of the mind to quit the body is manifest, and perhaps we fear or hate or wish annihilated this phantom of ourselves, lying on the table. Still, there are letters that merely say how dinner's at seven; others ordering coal; making appointments. The hand in them is scarcely perceptible, let alone the voice or the scowl. Ah, but when the post knocks and the letter comes always the miracle seems repeated - speech attempted. Venerable are letters, infinitely brave, forlorn, and lost.

Virginia Woolf
