The longer I live and the more experience I have of the world, the more I am convinced that, after all, the one thing that is most worth living for-and dying for, if need be-is the opportunity of making someone else more happy. Booker T. Washington
The Orient and Islam have a kind of extrareal, phenomenologically reduced status that puts them out of reach of everyone except the Western expert.

Evidence of the Orient was credible only after it had passed through and been made firm by the refining fire of the Orientalist’s work. Edward Said
When Christ at a symbolic moment was establishing His great society, He chose for its cornerstone neither the brilliant Paul nor the mystic John, but a shuffler, a snob, a coward? in a word, a man. And upon this rock He has built His Church, and the gates of Hell have not prevailed against it. All the empires and the kingdoms have failed, because of this inherent and continual weakness, that they were founded by strong men and upon strong men. But this one thing, the historic Christian... Gilbert K. Chesterton

And finally, in our time a beard is the one thing that a woman cannot do better than a man, or if she can her success is assured only in a circus. John Steinbeck
He disliked contradiction, and still more, arguments that were continually skipping from one thing to another, introducing new and disconnected points, so that there was no knowing to which to reply. Leo Tolstoy

I'm not going to be that person who wants one thing their whole life, and then gets it and complains about. Taylor Swift
There is one thing above all others that I despise. It is fingers, especially female fingers, messing around in my guts. My guts, like Victorian marriage, are private. Wallace Stegner
But the thought is one thing, the deed is another, and another yet is the image of the deed. The wheel of causality does not roll between them. Friedrich Nietzsche
I have always known that there were spellbinding evil parts for women. For one thing, I was taken at an early age to see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Never mind the Protestant work ethic of the dwarfs. Never mind the tedious housework-is-virtuous motif. Never mind the fact that Snow White is a vampire -- anyone who lies in a glass coffin without decaying and then comes to life again must be.
