The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women.

Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr.When the term Christian or even Protestant is used, it seldom refers to any particularly evangelical doctrine or way of life.

August StrindbergI'm not a Twitter fan. I do it because I feel responsible to the two million people that follow me, but Twitter to me is just another thing I have do.

I get hundreds of demands to answer the kind of medical questions that require three years of treatment to assess, yet people are furious when I don't solve their problems in 140 characters. It's really stunning.
Drew PinskyIf you are one of those people who believe that hard work and honesty alone will bring riches-perish the thought; because it's not true.

Ezra Taft BensonIn my work I now have the comfortable feeling that I am so to speak on my own ground and territory and almost certainly not competing in an anxious race and that I shall not suddenly read in the literature that someone else had done it all long ago.

To put it in a way that is more learned than clear: the philological aspect drops out and only the philosophical remains.

Misha GlennyLove may, indeed, love the beloved when her beauty is lost: but not because it is lost. Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal.

C. S. LewisI think most of us look at personal delights as somewhere between minimally important and borderline immoral. We like them, but we're not sure we ought to.

Victoria MoranYou have to have leadership and you have to also have compassion for all the people you're working with.

If we're not showing up most days with an attitude of gratitude.

Ellen HopkinsIn a way, simplifying your life for vagabonding is easier than it sounds. This is because travel by its very nature demands simplicity. If you don't believe this, just go home and try stuffing everything you own into a backpack. This will never work, because no matter how meagerly you live at home, you can't match the scaled-down minimalism that travel requires.

Daniel GolemanPeople are always pleased to indulge their religiosity when it allows them to stand in judgment of someone else, licenses them to feel superior to someone else, tells them they are more righteous than someone else.

Leonard PittsHe has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do. He lies and cheats; he snubs the mandate and authority of international weapons inspectors; and he games the system to keep buying time against enforcement of the just and legitimate demands of the United Nations, the Security Council, the United States and our allies. Those are simply the facts.
