And to us, we're more married than any piece of paper or big party could make us. Suzanne Collins
A society which is based on the letter of the law and never reaches any higher is taking very scarce advantage of the high range of human possibilities. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If there's any message, it is ultimately that it's okay to be different; that it's good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color. Johnny Depp
The tragedy of being both rational and animal seems to consist in having to choose between duty and desire rather than in making any particular choice Mortimer Adler
Practical men who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back John Maynard Keynes
Yep, my daddy was an undependable drunk. But he'd never missed any of my organized games, concerts, plays, or picnics. He may not have loved me perfectly, but he loved me as well as he could. (189) Sherman Alexie

I could not any more have doubted that HE was there than that I was. Indeed, I felt myself to be, if possible, the less real of the two. William James
