Well, love is insanity. The ancient Greeks knew that. It is the taking over of a rational and lucid mind by delusion and self-destruction. You lose yourself, you have no power over yourself, you can't even think straight.

Those who commence deliberately. They plod on. They stick to it. They persevere and finally reap their rewards.

Charles E. Popplestone

We derive our vitality from our store of madness.

E. M. Cioran

I do not - I never believed it's better to kill a terrorist than to detain him. We want to detain as many terrorists as possible so we can elicit the intelligence from them in the appropriate manner so that we can disrupt follow-on terrorist attacks.

When ancient opinions and rules of life are taken away, the loss cannot possibly be estimated. From that moment, we have no compass to govern us, nor can we know distinctly to what port to steer.

Edmund Burke

Civil strife is as much a greater evil than a concerted war effort as war itself is worse than peace.

Herodotus

God stays awake all the time. In case we need to talk to Him about something.

We all wish we could be in more than one place at the same time. People with families feel guilty all the time-if we spend too much time with our family, we feel we're not working hard enough.

Harold Ramis

The difference in the education of men and women must give the former great advantages over the latter, even where geniuses are equal.

Samuel Richardson

For what is love itself, for the one we love best? An enfolding of immeasurable cares which yet are better than any joys outside our love.

George Eliot

I have no other view than to promote the public good, and am unambitious of honors not founded in the approbation of my Country.

George Washington
