I sometimes wish that people would put a little more emphasis on the observance of the law than they do upon its enforcement.

Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully.

Richard Bach

Hope and Change has become Divide and Conquer.

Marco Rubio

By alienation is meant a mode of experience in which the person experiences himself as an alien. He has become, one might say, estranged from himself. He does not experience himself as the center of his world, as the creator of his own acts -- but his acts and their consequences have become his masters, whom he obeys, or whom he may even worship. The alienated person is out of touch with himself as he is out of touch with any other person. He, like the others, is experienced as things are experienced; with the senses and with common sense, but at the same time without being related to oneself and to the world outside positively.

Erich Fromm

The family is the basic cell of government: it is where we are trained to believe that we are human beings or that we are chattel, it is where we are trained to see the sex and race divisions and become callous to injustice even if it is done to ourselves, to accept as biological a full system of authoritarian government.

Gloria Steinem

Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.

William Shakespeare

Some people weave burlap into the fabric of our lives, and some weave gold thread. Both contribute to make the whole picture beautiful and unique.

Anon.

Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself.Being true to anyone else or anything else is...impossible.

Richard Bach, Illusions

It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of the truth.

John Locke

Faith is a dynamic and ever-changing process, not some fixed body of truth that exists outside our world and our understanding. God's truth may be fixed and unchanging, but our comprehension of that truth will always be partial and flawed at best.

Gene Robinson

Our music's kind of about taking something ugly and making it beautiful.

Jerry Cantrell

As selfishness and complaint pervert and cloud the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.

Helen Keller

Three o clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do.

JeanPaul Sartre
