Bhakti Tirtha SwamiThere's never been a true war that wasn't fought between two sets of people who were certain they were in the right.

Reading them sometimes did the more dangeous trick of making fireworks go off in the privacy of the reader's brain.
Terry PratchettI have often been downcast, but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time.

Rush LimbaughI came to terms with living mostly in a world of horror pictures or genre pictures. I have had a few chances to get outside and do something different, like Paris, Je T'Aime or Music Of The Heart, but mostly it's been my lot. And to have created, with a few shocking films, an awareness or a perception of me as somebody dangerous and scary - that can be sold, but trying to sell me for some other kind of picture, like Music Of The Heart, was very difficult.

Each soul must meet the morning sun, the new sweet earth, and the Great Silence alone!. What is Silence? It is the Great Mystery! The Holy Silence is His voice!
