Marcel Proust
The bonds that unite another person to ourselves exist only in our mind. Memory as it grows fainter relaxes them, and notwithstanding the illusion by which we would fain be cheated and with which, out of love, friendship, politeness, deference, duty, we cheat other people, we exist alone. Man is the creature that cannot emerge from himself, that knows his fellows only in himself when he asserts the contrary, he is lying.

Sir Winston Churchill, Speech at Harvard University, September 6, 1943
The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.

Tennessee Williams
Make voyages - Attempt them - there's nothing else...

William Shakespeare
When griping grief the heart doth wound, and doleful dumps the mind opresses,
then music, with her silver sound,
with speedy help doth lend redress.

George Santayana, Soliloquies in England, 1922, "War Shrines"
There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval.

J. Hawes
He that cannot decidedly say, No, when tempted to evil, is on the highway to ruin. He loses the respect even of those who would tempt him, and becomes but the pliant tool and victim of their evil designs.

Peter Ustinov
Beliefs are what divide people. Doubt unites them.
= = = = = = = = = =
Eleanor Roosevelt
Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home—so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any map of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person: The neighbourhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.

Franklin P. Adams
There are plenty of good five-cent cigars in the country. The trouble is they cost a quarter. What this country needs is a good five-cent nickel.
= = = = = = = = = =
Jane Austen, Emma
Silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way.
= = = = = = = = = =
Napoleon Bonaparte
In politics, absurdity is not a handicap.
= = = = = = = = = =
Charles de Montesquieu
In the state of nature...all men are born equal, but they cannot continue in this equality. Society makes them lose it, and they recover it only by the protection of the law.
