No public man in these islands ever believes that the Bible means what it says: he is always convinced that it says what he means.

So little done, so much to do.

Cecil Rhodes

A proverb in the time of Saint Bernard

Mark Twain

Voltaire

I have no mystic faith in the people. I have in the individual.

E. M. Forster

The television screen, so unlike the movie screen, sharply reduced human beings, revealed them as small, trivial, flat, in two banal dimensions, drained of color. Wasn't there something reassuring about it! -- that human beings were in fact merely images of a kind registered in one another's eyes and brains, phenomena composed of microscopic flickering dots like atoms. They were atoms -- nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?

Joyce Carol Oates

Princes and governments are far more dangerous than other elements within society.

Niccolo Machiavelli
