Nothing mattered much. Nothing much mattered. And the less it mattered the less it mattered. It was never important enough. Because Worse Things had happened. In the country that she came from poised forever between the terror of war and the horror of peace Worse Things kept happening Arundhati Roy
The rituals surrounding vacations among Manhattan's wealthiest and best-connected citizens are strange and specific. By vacations I don't mean country houses, which are part of the regular ebb and flow of life and which are frequently subjects for complaint - The kids never want to go! The caretaker missed the roof leak! The pipes froze! - as though having a six-thousand-square-foot, cedar-shingled cottage on five acres overlooking the ocean is nothing more or less than a constant test of... A. Whitney Brown
Hunter S. Thompson quote: "We can't stop here, this is bat country!"
We can't stop here, this is bat country! Hunter S. Thompson
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "The mind of this country, taught to aim at low objects, feeds..."
The mind of this country, taught to aim at low objects, feeds upon itself. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Bullets they took from us, they took our rifles. Minerals they took, and comrades too: But while our mouths have spittle in them. The whole country is still armed. Marina Tsvetaeva
Pearl S. Buck quote: "As for New York City, it is a place apart. There is not its..."
As for New York City, it is a place apart. There is not its match in any other country in the world. Pearl S. Buck
The burden therefore rests with the American legal community and with the American human-rights lobbies and non-governmental organizations. They can either persist in averting their gaze from the egregious impunity enjoyed by a notorious war criminal and lawbreaker, or they can become seized by the exalted standards to which they continually hold everyone else. The current state of suspended animation, however, cannot last. If the courts and lawyers of this country will not do their duty, we... Christopher Hitchens
If Waterboarding is okay, then why don't we let our police do it to criminals so they can find out what they know? Because it's against the law. If we're not going to be a country that stand's for the rule of law, when it's convenient or inconvenient, then what DO we stand for. Jesse Ventura
My workplace is wherever I'm making something, which could be in a field in gold country, or in an abandoned warehouse on a military base. Adam Savage
Abraham Lincoln quote: "If this country is ever demoralized, it will come from trying..."
If this country is ever demoralized, it will come from trying to live without work. Abraham Lincoln
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broked up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;... Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;... Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. Rabindranath Tagore
Joseph Heller quote: "The country was in peril; he was jeopardizing his traditional..."
The country was in peril; he was jeopardizing his traditional rights of freedom and independence by daring to exercise them. Joseph Heller
But liberty, as we all know, cannot flourish in a country that is permanently on a war footing, or even a near-war footing. Permanent crisis justifies permanent control of everybody and everything by the agencies of the central government. Aldous Huxley
Elbert Hubbard quote: "This will never be a civilized country until we expend more..."
This will never be a civilized country until we expend more money for books than we do for chewing gum. Elbert Hubbard
California has often led the country, indeed the world, in the technology, consumption, trends, lifestyles, and of course, mass entertainment. It is where the car found its earliest and fullest expression, where suburbs blossomed, where going to gym replaced going to church, where forces that lead so many to assume that direct democracy is the wave of the future - declining political parties, telecommuting, new technology, the internet generation 0 are all most well developed in this vast land. Fareed Zakaria
