The only yardstick for success our society has is being a champion. No one remembers anything else.

My nature is subdued to what it works in, like the dyer's hand.

Paul Ambroise Valery

Successful democratic politicians are insecure and intimidated men. They advance politically only as they placate, appease, bribe, seduce, bamboozle, or otherwise manage to manipulate the demanding and threatening elements in their constituencies. The decisive consideration is not whether the proposition is good but whether it is popular -- not whether it will work well and prove itself but whether the active talking constituents like it immediately. Politicians rationalize this servitude by saying that in a democracy public men are the servants of the people.

Walter Lippmann

People can't just listen to the music and have their own imagination and take them where they wanna go.

Ann Wilson

Man is, that he may have Joy.

The Church of Jesus Christ of La

Eleanor Roosevelt

When I was little, my mom tells me, I used to say things like, 'Mom do you hear the string section? Do you hear the string section?' And she would look at me and say, 'No honey, I don't know what you're talking about.'

Tori Amos

On the surface we all act like we all love each other and we're free and easy, and actually we're far more moralistic than any other society I've ever lived in.

Kathy Acker

I don't care how much you eat, Ender, self-cannibalism won't get you out of this school.

Orson Scott Card

Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause.

Victor Hugo
