Gregory MaguireWhen the doctrine of allegiance to party can utterly up-end a man's moral constitution and make a temporary fool of him besides, what excuse are you going to offer for preaching it, teaching it, extending it, perpetuating it?

Shall you also say it demands that a man kick his truth and his conscience into the gutter, and become a mouthing lunatic, besides?

And besides, sugar, which traditionally we had the American market is also near.

Maharishi Mahesh YogiI'll tell you what is insidious about the Disney Princess, besides the fact that if you look into their merchandise, the 26,000 items, you're always finding books that are about "my perfect wedding."

I don't know where to put that on the continuum exactly. I guess eight?

Jean-Paul SartreAs to the Christian religion, besides the strong evidence which we have for it, there is a balance in its favor from the number of great men who have been convinced of its truth after a serious consideration of the question. Grotius was an acute man, a lawyer, a man accustomed to examine evidence, and he was convinced. Grotius was not a recluse, but a man of the world, who certainly had no bias on the side of religion. Sir Isaac Newton set out an infidel, and came to be a very firm believer.

LucretiusFor any kind of reading I think better than leaving a blank still a blank, because the mind must receive a degree of enlargement and obtain a little strength by a slight exertion of its thinking powers; besides, even the productions that are only addressed to the imagination, raise the reader a little above the gross gratification of appetites, to which the mind has not given a shade of delicacy.

Alas, there was no one besides myself who found me interesting.

It is the same whether we examine these things for a hundred years or three.

George BurnsAnother last-minute, good-deed job,โ Royce grumbled as he stuffed supplies into his saddlebag. โTrue,โ Hadrian said, slinging his sword belt over his shoulder, โbut this is at least a paying job.โ โYou should have told him the real reason we saved him from Trumbulโ because we wouldnโt see the hundred tenents otherwise.โ โThat was your reason.

Gena ShowalterI want a human sermon. I don't care what Melchisedek, or Zerubbabel, or Kerenhappuk did, ages ago; I want to know what I am to do, and I want somebody besides a theological bookworm to tell me; somebody who is sometimes tempted and tried, and is not too dignified to own it; somebody like me, who is always sinning and repenting; somebody who is glad and sorry, and cries and laughs, and eats and drinks, and wants to fight when they are trodden on, and don't!
