What an unbearable creature he must have been in those days--and yet in those days he had been comparatively innocent.

Then, in his innocence, he had felt no love for anyone; now in his corruption he had learnt. Graham Greene
You want to know about voting. I'm here to tell you about voting. Imagine you're locked in a huge underground night-club filled with sinners, whores, freaks and unnameable things that rape pitbulls for fun. And you ain't allowed out until you all vote on what you're going to do tonight. You like to put your feet up and watch "Republican Party Reservation". They like to have sex with normal people using knives, guns, and brand new sexual organs you did not even know existed. So you vote for... Warren Ellis

When young lips have drunk deep of the bitter waters of hate, suspicion and despair, all the love in the world will not wholly take away that knowledge. Though it may turn darkened eyes for a while to the light, and teach faith where no faith was. Rudyard Kipling
Good manners are an admission that everybody is so tender that they have to be handled with gloves. Now, human respect—you don't call a man a coward or a liar lightly, but if you spend your life sparing people's feelings and feeding their vanity, you get so you can't distinguish what should be respected in them. F. Scott Fitzgerald
It has been a long time since philosophers have read men’s souls. It is not their task, we are told. Perhaps. But we must not be surprised if they no longer matter much to us. Emile M. Cioran
Kate DiCamillo quote: "That is surely the truth, at least for now. But perhaps you..."
That is surely the truth, at least for now. But perhaps you have not noticed: the truth is forever changing. Kate DiCamillo
The most important acts, both for the one who accomplishes them and for his fellow creatures, are those that have remote consequences. Leo Tolstoy
John Keats quote: "We read fine things but never feel them to the full until we..."
We read fine things but never feel them to the full until we have gone the same steps as the author. John Keats
Extreme torture is mute, and so we sat silent, petrified, like columns of marble buried under the sand of an earthquake. Neither wished to listen to the other because our heart-threads had become weak and even breathing would have broken them. Khalil Gibran
