I do not want to be the angel of any home: I want for myself what I want for other women, absolute equality. After that is secured, then men and women can take turns being angels.

Some are just born bad, and that's all there is to it.

Cassandra Clare

Our nation is built on the bedrock principle that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Adrian Cronauer

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.

Isaac Newton

Even in former days, Korea was known as the 'hermit kingdom' for its stubborn resistance to outsiders. And if you wanted to create a totally isolated and hermetic society, northern Korea in the years after the 1953 'armistice' would have been the place to start. It was bounded on two sides by the sea, and to the south by the impregnable and uncrossable DMZ, which divided it from South Korea. Its northern frontier consisted of a long stretch of China and a short stretch of Siberia; in other words its only contiguous neighbors were Mao and Stalin. (The next-nearest neighbor was Japan, historic enemy of the Koreans and the cruel colonial occupier until 1945.) Add to that the fact that almost every work of man had been reduced to shards by the Korean War. Air-force general Curtis LeMay later boasted that 'we burned down town in North Korea,' and that he grounded his bombers only when there were no more targets to hit anywhere north of the 38th parallel. Pyongyang was an ashen moonscape. It was Year Zero. Kim Il Sung could create a laboratory, with controlled conditions, where he alone would be the engineer of the human soul.

Christopher Hitchens

Further, Take heed that you faithfully perform the business you have to do in the world, from a regard to the commands of God and not from an ambitious desire of being esteemed better than others.

David Brainerd

True thoughts are those alone which do not understand themselves.

Theodor Adorno

Getting into music has changed my personality and way of doing things. I'm far more open now.

Shaun White

I am blessed for what I have, but I believed in it from the beginning. Today, the dream is the same: I still want to travel, I still want to entertain, and I most certainly still want to have fun.

Guy Laliberte

I don't feel old. I don't feel anything till noon. That's when it's time for my nap.

Bob Hope

Fear is the lengthened shadow of ignorance.

Arnold H. Glasow

I like neither new clothes nor new kinds of food.

Albert Einstein

If you are joyful, do not worry about lukewarmness. Joy will shine in your eyes and in your look, in your conversation and in your countenance. You will not be able to hide it because joy overflows.

Mother Teresa
