Our rate moves will have an impact on the economy in 2013. Whether we raise or lower rates depends on how the economic situation develops. Marek Belka
I thought Lord of the Flies was one of the great rip-offs of our time. Complete steal from A High Wind In Jamaica.

Otherwise it's precisely the same novel. Truman Capote

We must Think what we Say, and Mean what we Profess. Mary Astell

This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact. George Orwell

The sun was hot on my skin, too bright as it bounced off the white concrete and blinded me. I felt dangerously exposed. More fiercely than I would have dreamed I was capable of, I wished for the green, protective forest of Forks . . . of home. Stephenie Meyer
She had heard it said that, before you could understand anybody, you needed to walk a mile in their shoes, which did not make a whole lot of sense, because probably AFTER you had walked a mile in their shoes, you would understand that they were chasing you and accusing you of the theft of a pair of shoes--although, of course, you could probably outrun them, owing to their lack of footwear. Terry Prachett
We were like a white family from the 1920s or something. My parents had this bizarre, different way of looking at things from the people that surrounded us. I went to an all-Mexican grade school and an all-black high school, and not many people in those places liked the same stuff as me. Jack White
