I used to wish there was a useful term for those of us who thought American power should be used to remove psychopathic dictators.

The love of the famous, like all strong passions, is quite abstract. Its intensity can be measured mathematically, and it is independent of persons.

Susan Sontag

Before I got here, I thought for a long time that the way out of the labyrinth was to pretend that it did not exist, to build a small, self-sufficient world in the back corner of the endless maze and to pretend that I was not lost, but home.

John Green

I wouldn't, a little bit frightened but throughout my life I'd learnt that when you're in the serious situations, you've got to try to stay calm. Because that's the way you get out of them.

John Newcombe

Religion did not exist for the saving of souls but for the preservation and welfare of society, and in all that was necessary to this end every man had to take his part, or break with the domestic and political community to which he belonged.

William Robertson Smith

The body is like a car: the older you become the more care you have to take care of it - and you don't leave a Ferrari out in the sun.

Joan Collins

I feel very proud, even though they didn't elect me, to be President of the Argentines.

General Leopoldo Galtieri

Doing for people what they can and ought to do for themselves is a dangerous experiment. In the last analysis the welfare of the workers depends upon their own initiative. Whatever is done under the guise of philanthropy or social morality which in any way lessens initiative is the greatest crime that can be committed against the toilers. Let social busy-bodies and professional public morals experts in their fads reflect upon the perils they rashly invite under this pretense of social welfare.

Samuel Gompers

The basis of effective government if public confidence.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

We have become like the most primitive Palaeolithic man, once more global wanderers, but information gatherers rather than food gatherers. From now on the source of food, wealth and life itself will be information.

Marshall McLuhan

We have in fact, two kinds of morality, side by side: one which we preach, but do not practice, and another which we practice, but seldom preach.

Bertrand Russell

A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark.

Dante Alighieri

Love is agrowing, to full constant light; and his first minute, after noon, is night.

Donne, John
