Sacrificing earth to paradise is like leaving your fortune to a corpse. I'm not that stupid. Duped by the Infinite! I am nothing; I call myself Count Nothing, the senator. Did I exist before my birth? No. Will I after my death? No. What am I? A little dust surrounding an organism. What do I have to do on this earth? I have the choice of pain or pleasure. Where will pain lead me? To nothing. But I will have suffered. Where will pleasure lead me? To nothing. But I will have enjoyed. My choice... Victor Hugo
More intriguingly, in poll after poll, when Americans are asked what public institutions they most respect, three bodies are always at the top of their list: the Supreme Court, the armed forces, and the Federal Reserve System. All three have one thing in common: they are insulated from the public pressures and operate undemocratically.

But I believe there is no difference between those who are called courageous and those who are branded craven than that the second are fearful before the danger and the first after it.

George Orwell
What does God want? Does God want goodness or the choice of goodness? Is a man who chooses the bad perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good imposed upon him? Anthony Burgess
In studying the history of the human mind one is impressed again and again by the fact that the growth of the mind is the widening of the range of consciousness, and that each step forward has been a most painful and laborious achievement. One could almost say that nothing is more hateful to man than to give up even a particle of his unconsciousness. Ask those who have tried to introduce a new idea! Carl Jung
Rearden sat in his room at the Wayne-Falkland Hotel, fighting an enemy more dangerous than weariness or fear: revulsion against the thought of having to deal with human beings. Ayn Rand
Ann Landers quote: "The naked truth is always better than the best-dressed lie."
The naked truth is always better than the best-dressed lie. Ann Landers
Muhammad has always been standing higher than the Christianity. He does not consider god as a human being and never makes himself equal to God. Muslims worship nothing except God and Muhammad is his Messenger. There is no any mystery and secret in it Leo Tolstoy
Jane Austen quote: "She felt the loss of Willoughby's character yet more heavily..."
She felt the loss of Willoughby's character yet more heavily than she had felt the loss of his heart. Jane Austen
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "The truth is, immigrants tend to be more American than people..."
The truth is, immigrants tend to be more American than people born here. Chuck Palahniuk
The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means. Susan Sontag
