It is quite possible for someone to choose incorrectly or to judge badly; but freedom must allow such mistakes.

Not voting is not a protest. It is a surrender.

Keith Ellison

Seek not greater wealth, but simpler pleasure; not higher fortune, but deeper felicity.

Mahatma Gandhi

Truth is a risky proposition. It's the nature of mediocre human beings to believe that lies are necessary, that they serve a purpose, that truth is subversive, that candor is dangerous, that the very scaffold of communal life is supported by lies.

Anne Rice

If we have to give up either religion or education, we should give up education.

William Jennings Bryan

A lost battle is a battle one thinks one has lost.

Marshal Ferdinand Foch

The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal.

Andre Breton

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

Orson Welles, in The Third Man 1

To help the poor to a capacity for action and liberty is something essential for one's own health as well as theirs: there is a needful gift they have to offer which cannot be offered so long as they are confined by poverty.

Rowan D. Williams

Homosexuality is against nature. Sexual expression is permitted only within marriage, between man and woman, male and female. Anything else is an abnormality and is against nature.

Pope Shenouda III

Why this is very midsummer madness.

William Shakespeare

It's not movies and it's not fine art. The beauty of a comic is that it's clear, direct communication. My work is getting simpler and more cartoony because I'm much more interested in communication now than in any illustrative value.

Frank Miller

We cannot love a person with an all accepting, transcending and encompassing love without being hurt somewhat, without being disappointed, without being failed of our expectations. We cannot love without being broken, yet we cannot continue in love without being stronger than our brokenness.
