Charlie MungerThere is no opposition party. And the party that is in power is falling apart. Doesn't that kind of mean the country's falling apart?

It kind of feels that way to me. And I'm pretty worried about it, to be honest with you.
Aaron McGruderAnd this activity alone would seem to be loved for its own sake; for nothing arises from it apart from the contemplating, while from practical activities we gain more or less apart from the action.

Douglas AdamsApart from the obvious advantages of having ice to melt, filter, then drink, you can also break apart the water's hydrogen from its oxygen.

Douglas AdamsI must be frank in my feeling that a notable heresy has come into being throughout our evangelical Christian circles -- the widely accepted concept that we humans can choose to accept Christ only because we need Him as Saviour and that we have the right to postpone our obedience to Him as Lord as long as we want to...

Michael GrantIf the believers in liberty wish the principles of liberty taught, let them never intrust that instruction to any government; for the nature of government is to become a thing apart, an institution existing for its own sake, preying upon the people, and teaching whatever will tend to keep it secure in its seat.

Charles DanceAll men naturally desire knowledge. An indication of this is our esteem for the senses; for apart from their use we esteem them for their own sake, and most of all the sense of sight. Not only with a view to action, but even when no action is contemplated, we prefer sight, generally speaking, to all the other senses. The reason of this is that of all the senses sight best helps us to know things, and reveals many distinctions.

They are nasty to each other, nagging to each other, possessive of each other, violent, oppressive, dominating, dictatorial.
