Words were weapons, his father had taught him that, and he'd wanted to hurt Clary more than he'd ever wanted to hurt any girl. In fact, he wasn't sure he had ever wanted to hurt a girl before. Usually he just wanted them, and then he wanted them to leave him alone.

Quiconque lutte contre des monstres devrait prendre garde, dans le combat, ? ne pas devenir monstre lui-même. Et quant ? celui qui scrute le fond de l'abysse, l'abysse le scrute ? son tour.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Our destiny exercises its influence over us even when, as yet, we have not learned its nature: it is our future that lays down the law of our today

Friedrich Nietzsche

I love making people laugh and feel good, and that's awesome and special for me to be able to do that, but there really is nothing like kicking ass whether it's on a major scale, or whether it's in more of a dramatic fashion. Being physical and taking care of business the old-fashioned way is something that I love doing.

Dwayne Johnson

The loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or imagined, from abroad.

James Madison

These words of yours, devoid of Christ, devoid of Spirit, are colder than ice itself, so that they tarnish the beauty of your eloquence. Perhaps they were dragged out of you, poor fellow, by fear of the pontiffs and tyrants, lest you should seem altogether an atheist!

Martin Luther King Jr.

Wars have always started over religion.

Glenn Danzig

They don't have intelligence. They have what I like to call 'thintelligence.' They see the immediate situation. They think narrowly and they call it 'being focused.' They don't see the surround. They don't see the consequences. That's how you get an island like this. From thintelligent thinking.

Michael Crichton

We are a kind of posterity in respect to them.

Benjamin Franklin

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.

Albert Einstein

Alas, human vices, however horrible one might imagine them to be, contain the proof (were it only in their infinite expansion) of man's longing for the infinite; but it is a longing that often takes the wrong route. It is my belief that the reason behind all culpable excesses lies in this depravation of the sense of the infinite.

Charles Baudelaire

To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare.

Benjamin Franklin

How can smart women be so stupid about men sometimes? Lack of knowledge. It's what men have kept secret for so long.

Steve Harvey
