Libba BrayThe press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make the criminal look like he's a the victim and make the victim look like he's the criminal.

I've reproduced and my reproductions have reproduced.

You put all you're hope and all your dreams and all your ideas about stuff into one human being. They're a human being they're going to let you down. You can't make someone your hero because of something you read on the internet. The internet is not a source of information it is a source of disinformation.
Craig FergusonTime goes too quickly. This is the advice that my mother should have given me from her hospital bed.

And youth. It takes that fastest of all.

Hume CronynTrade is the natural enemy of all violent passions. Trade loves moderation, delights in compromise, and is most careful to avoid anger. It is patient, supple, and insinuating, only resorting to extreme measures in cases of absolute necessity. Trade makes men independent of one another and gives them a high idea of their personal importance: it leads them to want to manage their own affairs and teaches them to succeed therein. Hence it makes them inclined to liberty but disinclined to revolution.
Alexis de TocquevilleIt was an emergency!" Seth blurted. "Read my lips - emergency reading - not some demented idea of fun. If I was starving, I would eat asparagus.

"The love of reading can be contagious." I just lost my appetite," he declared.

Ice CubeI'm always very careful to make the distinction between music criticism and music journalism. A lot of people don't. But criticism doesn't require reporting.

Michael AzerradThis may not be the path for everyone. But the trust of which we speak is not an act of heroism. it is an act of surrender that makes the decision easier.

Sue Monk KiddAny man or woman who neglects to maintain inward vigilance, and only makes an outward show of holiness in dress, speech, and behavior, is a wretched creature. For they watch the doings of other people and criticize their faults, imagining themselves to be something when in reality they are nothing. In this way they deceive themselves. Be careful to avoid this, and devote yourself inwardly to His likeness by humility, charity, and other spiritual virtues. In this way you will be truly converted to God.
