Ours Quotes (page 452)

What's important about morality in politics is us. We own the chicken farm. We must give our bird-brained, feather-headed politicians morals.

If we fail to supply them with morality, politicians begin to act very scary in the barnyard. These are enormous headless chickens and they have nukes. P. J. O'Rourke

With our human limitations we're not always able to understand the explanations. Madeleine L'Engle
We do not want joy and anger to neutralize each other and produce a surly contentment; we want a fiercer delight and a fiercer discontent. We have to feel the universe at once as an ogre's castle, to be stormed, and yet as our own cottage, to which we can return to at evening. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Gale and I were thrown together by a mutual need to survive. Peeta and I know the other's survival means our own death. How do you side step that? Suzanne Collins
Anais Nin quote: "Since desire always goes towards that which is our direct..."
