Today's Quotations
Albert Einstein
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Margaret Fuller, Woman in the Nineteenth Century, 1845
Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.
William Penn
Never marry but for love; but see that thou lovest what is lovely.
Richard Milhous Nixon
While technically I did not commit a crime, an impeachable offense... these are legalisms, as far as the handling of this matter is concerned it was so botched up, I made so many bad judgments. The worst ones, mistakes of the heart, rather than the head. But let me say, a man in that top job - he's got to have a heart, but his head must always rule his heart.
John Berger
In the modern world, in which thousands of people are dying every hour as a consequence of politics, no writing anywhere can begin to be credible unless it is informed by political awareness and principles. Writers who have neither product utopian trash.
Milton Friedman
Hell hath no fury like a bureaucrat scorned.
Anthony Sampson
In Britain, the segregated world of public schools crops up in all kinds of institutions A boy can pass from Eton to the Guards to the Middle Temple to Parliament and still retain the same male world of leather armchairs, teak tables and nicknames. They need never deal closely with other kinds of people, and some never do.
Diane Arbus, (1923-1971)
A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.
Saint Augustine
You (God) have not only commanded continence, that is, from what things we are to restrain our love, but also justice, that is, on what we are to bestow our love.
--Henry David Thoreau
The man for whom law exists - the man of forms, the Conservative, is a tame man.
Robert Southey
If you would be pungent, be brief; for it is with words as with sunbeams - the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.
