If suddenly, in their last gasping moments, through fear, a vision, a late enlightenment, they change their minds about God, who would know? Mitch Albom
Personally, I don't deal much in theory. I have to deal with the facts. And on the basis of facts, I don't see much difference in the behavior of men and women. Michael Crichton
Personally, I am a hedonistic reader; I have never read a book merely because it was ancient. I read books for the aesthetic emotions they offer me, and I ignore the commentaries and criticism. Jorge Luis Borges
Personally, I'd rather grow old alone than in the company of anyone I've met so far. I don't experience myself as lonely, incomplete, or unfulfilled, but I don't talk about that much. It seems to piss people off--especially men. (Kinsey Millhone) Sue Grafton
Peter Singer quote: "Personal purity isn’t really the issue. Not supporting animal..."
Personal purity isn’t really the issue. Not supporting animal abuse – and persuading others not to support it – is. Peter Singer
Persons of genius are, ex vi termini, more individual than any other people - less capable, consequently, of fitting themselves, without hurtful compression, into any of the small number of moulds which society provides in order to save its members the trouble of forming their character. John Stuart Mill
