Seth KlarmanMy perception of the human animal is as an extremely dangerous predator. That's who I perceive us to be as a species.

Katherine DunnThe Library didn't only contain magical books, the ones which are chained to their shelves and are very dangerous. It also contained perfectly ordinary books, printed on commonplace paper in mundane ink.

Reading them sometimes did the more dangeous trick of making fireworks go off in the privacy of the reader's brain.

Eric HernandezI was leaving the Belfast court, where I had been called to answer a very flimsy charge, later dismissed.

I think it was too much of a coincidence that the people who shot me were just passing by.
Gerry AdamsI think it's dangerous to look at every Muslim woman the same and to assume that every experience within the religion is the same, meaning that there are going to be strong and assertive women that are Muslim.

Stephen ProtheroHetero - normative behavior and herd mentality is dangerous. It's okay to be different. It's okay to stand out for whatever reason.

To many it appears barren, hostile, repellent - a fearsome mostly waterless land of rock and heat, sand dunes and quicksand, cactus, thornbrush, scorpion, rattlesnake, and agaraphobic distances. To those who see our land in that manner, the best reply is, yes, you are right, it is a dangerous and terrible place. Enter at your own risk. Carry water. Avoid the noonday sun. Try to ignore the vultures. Pray frequently.

And these same individuals, living and working closest to the sources of environmental catastrophe, are also the ones most lacking decent health care.
