The people in power will not disappear voluntarily, giving flowers to the cops just isn't going to work. This thinking is fostered by the establishment; they like nothing better than love and nonviolence. The only way I like to see cops given flowers is in a flower pot from a high window.

If you know you are on the right track, if you have this inner knowledge, then nobody can turn you off... no matter what they say.

Barbara McClintock

He is one of those people who would be enormously improved by death.

Hector Hugh Munro

Society is divided into two classes, the shearers and the shorn.

Sebastian Roch Nicolas Chamfort

Like a good chess player, Satan is always trying to maneuver you into a position where you can save your castle only by losing your bishop.

C.S. Lewis

Books must be treated with respect, we feel that in our bones, because words have power. Bring enough words together they can bend space and time.

Terry Pratchett

The most tragic thing in the world is a man of genius who is not a man of honor

George Bernard Shaw

In law, nothing is certain but the expense.

Samuel Butler

The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.

Robert Frost

Men never plan to be failures; they simply fail to plan to be successful.

William Arthur Ward

We think very little of time present; we anticipate the future, as being too slow, and with a view to hasten it onward, we recall the past to stay it as too swiftly gone. We are so thoughtless, that we thus wander through the hours which are not here, regardless only of the moment that is actually our own.

Blaise Pascal

I can count all the ways in which being a mother has enriched my understanding of the world, of character, my sense of the future and my attachment to it. I can't imagine what kind of writer I'd be if I didn't have my kids.

Barbara Kingsolver

Everybody is like a magnet. You attract to yourself reflections of that which you are. If you're friendly then everybody else seems to be friendly too.

David R. Hawkins
