Millions of people die every day. Everyone's got to go sometime.

Margaret Thatcher has shown that there is power and dignity to be won by defying the status quo and the majority rather than by adapting to them.

I think being an atheist is something you are, not something you do.

The one thing that the racist can never manage is anything like discrimination: he is indiscriminate by definition.

It especially annoys me when racists are accused of 'discrimination.' The ability to discriminate is a precious faculty; by judging all members on one 'race' to be the same, the racist precisely shows himself incapable of discrimination.
