Young love is a flame very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.

What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are.

C.S. Lewis

Words are only postage stamps delivering the object for you to unwrap

George Bernard Shaw

From the naturalistic point of view, all men are equal. There are only two exceptions to this rule of naturalistic equality: geniuses and idiots.

Mikhail Bakunin

A passion for politics stems usually from an insatiable need, either for power, or for friendship and adulation, or a combination of both.

Fawn M. Brodie

Those who desire to certify miracles may wish to say that such recoveries have no natural explanation. But this does not at all mean that there is therefore a supernatural one.

Christopher Hitchens

My idea of fast food is a mallard.

Ted Nugent

There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, Thy will be done, and those to whom God says, All right, then, have it your way

C.S. Lewis

After marriage, the other man's wife looks more beautiful.

Navjot Singh Sidhu

I respond very well to well-written material and women who have had an effect on society, something tragic or monumental has happened to them.

Samantha Morton

Christmas is a time in which, of all times in the year, the memory of every remediable sorrow, wrong, and trouble in the world around us, should be active with us, not less than our own experiences, for all good.

Charles Dickens

A word does not frighten the man who, in acting, feels no fear.

Sophocles

At man's core there is a voice that wants him never to give in to fear. But if it is true that in general man cannot give in to fear, at the very least he postpones indefinitely the moment when he will have to confront himself with the object of his fear... when he will no longer have the assistance of reason as guaranteed by God, or when he will no longer have the assistance of God such as reason guaranteed. It is necessary to recoil, but it is necessary to leap, and perhaps one only recoils in order to leap better.

Georges Bataille
