But a revolution will come whether we will it or not. We can affect it's character, we cannot alter it's inevitability. Robert Kennedy
There are great drifting theatre curtains in the sky, and they change color as she watches: green goes to purple, purple to vermilion, vermilion to a queer bloody shade of red she cannot name. Russet perhaps comes close, but that isn't it exactly. She thinks no one has ever named the shade she's seeing. Stephen King

No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot. Charles Dickens

Americans have an inability to relax into sheer pleasure. Ours is an entertainment seeking-nation, but not necessarily a pleasure-seeking one.... This is the cause of that great sad American stereotype- the overstressed executive who goes on vacation, but who cannot relax. Elizabeth Gilbert

Roland Barthes
Speech is for the convenience of those who are hard of hearing; but there are many fine things which we cannot say if we have to shout. Henry David Thoreau
