"If you believe in freedom of speech, ...you should believe it for those views you don't like." "I'm standing up for his civil rights...not his views." "States are violent to the same extent they are powerful." "At this stage of history, either the general population will take control of its own destiny, and will concern itself with the community interests, guided by values of solidarity, and sympathy, and concern for others, or alternatively, there will be no destiny for anyone to control. As long as some specialized class is in a position of authority, it is going to set policy in the special interest that it serves. But, the conditions of survival, built on justice, require rational, and social planning in the global community.
The question is whether privileged elite should dominate the power of mass communication, as they tell us they must, mainly to enclose necessary illusions, to manipulate and deceive the stupid majority and remove them from the public arena.

In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than values to be treasured, they may well be necessary for survival." -- Noam Chomsky

To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems! I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life. Number one, 'cover for me.'

Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'sir' without adding, you're making a scene.' -- Homer Simpson
One man's sunset is another man's dawn. -- Fievel Mouskawitz, An American Tail I like to reminisce with people I don't know. -- ? "Life is a series of choices; how you choose determines where you end up." -- God, being interviewed by Murphy Brown
"As we allow a child a growing independence, we have also to wean ourselves from accountability... We need to realize some things are beyond our control. In many cases, it's not that parenting was lacking or weak, but the world's temptations and attractions are so strong. The failure to realize this produces unnecessary guilt." -- Margie M. Lewis, The Hurting Parent
"You know, when you go through any kind of difficult experience, you have a choice. I mean, you can let it break you and embitter you. Or you can take whatever you've experienced, whatever pain or suffering, and decide that you're still going to have faith, your faith in God, your faith in your fellow man; that you're still going to believe that you can make a contribution to a better life. It's a choice. Every single day we wake up, you can choose to be cynical or hopeful. You can choose to be grateful or contemptuous. You can make all those choices. And for me, it's not a very hard choice." -- Hillary Clinton, 60 Minutes II

Nothing is real but just these little moments that we call 'today'." -- Greta Garbo
"Answers make you wise, but questions make you human." -- Yves Montand "People who get married should be required to take one trip together; preferably involving a rent-a-car and a road map. Then we'll see about this 'till death do us part' stuff." -- Miles Silverburg, Murphy Brown
"When you find someone with whom you can share laughter, you also find good reason to share the same food and wine; and if you can pass those moments in silent appraisal, you're ready to share the same friends... It's important to have things in common and a mutual understanding, but the misunderstandings are even more important. If you can have a good knock-down and drag-out brannigan, and in spite of it all still wind up a little closer, well, then the next step is to share the same life together." -- Bing Crosby's character, Little Boy Lost
"One of the hardest things about parenting sometimes is knowing when NOT to." -- Tom Skerritt, Picket Fences
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

But if I am for myself alone, what am I? And if not now, when? -- Hillel Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors. -- African proverb
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Live in today because your past is not your potential. -- ? If you keep doing things like you've always done them, what you'll get is what you've already got. -- Radio Commercial ('94) Fear makes strangers of people who should be friends. -- ?
