If way to the better there be, it exacts a full look at the worst.

The family is an early expedient and in many ways irrational. If the race had developed a special sexless class to be nurses, pedagogues, and slaves, like the workers among ants and bees, then the family would have been unnecessary. Such a division of labor would doubtless have involved evils of its own, but it would have obviated some drags and vexations proper to the family.

George Santayana

Clarence Linder

To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization.

Arnold J. Toynbee

Terry Pratchett

Linda Hunt

Give us kinder laws to bring us back when we're a-going wrong and don't set Jail, Jail, Jail afore us everywhere we turn

Charles Dickens

Martin Luther King Jr.

It took me a really long time to get here, but I'm here. Carrie, you're the one. [Mr.Big]

Sex and the City

The federal government has sponsored research that has produced a tomato that is perfect in every respect, except that you can't eat it. We should make every effort to make sure this disease, often referred to as 'progress', doesn't spread.
