God only knows!

Brandon RiosIt's kind of interesting and sick that the intellectual culture called the 1960s, "time of troubles," a dangerous period in which a lot of harm was done to the society.

Lewis HamiltonIs beauty a reminder of something we once knew, with poetry one of its vehicles? Does it give us a brief vision of that 'rarely glimpsed bright face behind/ the apparency of things'?

If thou do'st, it will disorder thy Head and give thee dangerous Vertigos.

Max ScherzerAs I have already said, the belief that one's own view of reality is the only reality is the most dangerous or all delusions. It becomes still more dangerous if it is coupled with the missionary zeal to enlighten the rest of the world, whether the rest of the world wishes to be enlightened or not. To refuse to embrace wholeheartedly a particular definition of reality, to dare to see the world differently can become a "think crime" in a truly Orwellian sense as we get steadily closer to 1984.
Paul WatzlawickBelieve me, I know and I almost made the same mistake you did. Evil is seductive. Itโs what makes the two of them so dangerous.

Even when we know better, we lie to ourselves and thatโs where the true betrayal is. (Jared)
Sherrilyn KenyonThe difficult thing, the glorious thing, was to be who you really were, even if that person was cruel or dangerous, particularly if cruel and dangerous.

J. K. RowlingLike taxes, radioactivity has long been with us and in increasing amounts; it is not to be hated and feared, but accepted and controlled.

Marianne WilliamsonI've always - outside of the outfielders running over the hump, and it could be slightly dangerous, and it can impact play; of course it can.

Eve EnslerIn the deeper layers of the modern consciousnessevery attempt to succeed is an act of aggression, leaving one alone and guilty and defenseless among enemies: one is punished for success.

Elizabeth Barrett BrowningBill Clinton gives the appearance of taking stands-for some sort of tax cut, some sort of welfare reform, some sort of balanced budget-but these are ploys, mirages: they exist only to undermine positions taken by the Republicans.
