The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar, is the test of their power.Toni Morrison If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.

Förmågan hos författare att föreställa sig det som inte är självet, att göra det främmande bekant och mystifiera det välkända, är testet på deras makt. Toni Morrison
Om det finns en bok du verkligen vill läsa, men den har ännu inte skrivits, då måste du skriva den.

Toni Morrison (1931-)

Toni Morrison

Under alla de lovord som ges demokratin finns den lilla människan, som går in i det lilla valbåset med sin lilla blyertspenna och sätter ett litet kryss på ett litet papper. Inga tal och inga omfattande diskussioner kan på något sätt minska kryssets överväldigande betydelse.

Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Winston Churchill

Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens will be proud. I will build a schoolhouse in every valley over the whole earth. I will crown every hillside with a place of worship consecrated to peace.

Charles Sumner (1811-1874)

Charles Sumner

That great, overgrown lummox of a Colonel McCormick, mediocre in ability, less than average in brains and a damn physical coward in spite of his size, sitting in the tower of the Tribune building with his guards protecting him while he squirts sewage at men whom he happens to dislike.

Harold L. Ickes (1874-1952)

Harold L. Ickes

One cannot legislate the maniacs off the street... these maniacs can only be shut down by an armed citizenry. Indeed bad things can happen in nations where the citizenry is armed, but not as bad as those which seem to be threatening our disarmed citizenry in this country at this time.

The secret of biography resides in finding the link between talent and achievement. A biography seems irrelevant if it doesn't discover the overlap between what the individual did and the life that made this possible. Without discovering that, you have shapeless happenings and gossip.

Leon Edel (1907-)

A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself -- to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart.

Leo F. Buscaglia

The most terrible thing about materialism, even more terrible than its proneness to violence, is its boredom, from which sex, alcohol, drugs, all devices for putting out the accusing light of reason and suppressing the unrealizable aspirations of love, offer a prospect of deliverance.

Malcolm Muggeridge (1903-1990)

Malcolm Muggeridge

"There Is A Voice Inside Of You
That Whispers All Day Long,
"I Feel That This Is Right For Me,
I Know That This Is Wrong."
No Teacher, Preacher, Parent, Friend
Or Wise Man Can Decide
What's Right For You- Just Listen To
The Voice That Speaks Inside."

Shel Silverstein (1930-1999)

Shel Silverstein

Education must have two foundations --morality as a support for virtue, prudence as a defense for self against the vices of others. By letting the balance incline to the side of morality, you only make dupes or martyrs; by letting it incline to the other, you make calculating egoists.

Nicolas-Sébastien Roch de Chamfort (1741-1794)

Chamfort

The banishment for life of Pete Rose from baseball is a sad end if a sorry episode. One of the game's greatest players has engaged in a variety of acts which have stained the game, and he must now live with the consequences of those acts. There is absolutely no deal for reinstatement.

A. Bartlett Giamatti (1938-1989)

A. Bartlett Giamatti

I think you have to deal with the confused situation that we're faced with by seizing on the glimpses and particles of life, seizing on them and holding them and trying to make a pattern of them. In other words, trying to put a world back together again out of its fragmentary moments.

Archibald Macleish (1892-1982)

Archibald MacLeish

The longer a man lives in this world the more he must be convinced that all domestic quarrels had better never be obtruded on the public; for, let the husband be right, or let him be wrong, there is always a sympathy existing for women which is certain to give the man the worst of it.

Benjamin Haydon (1786-1846)

Benjamin Haydon

But then the Roman Empire fell like this- "oh shit". And we went into
what the historians called the Stupid Fucker period. Where everyone
was going -"er, I dunno. Is that a Roman road? Can we eat it?" Then
there was the dark Ages. " I can't even see you! Where are you?"

Eddie Izzard (1962-)

Eddie Izzard

What more fiendish proof of cosmic irresponsibility than a Nature which, having invented sex as a way to mix genes, then permits to arise, amid all its perfumed and hypnotic inducements to mate, a tireless tribe of spirochetes and viruses that torture and kill us for following orders?

John Updike (1932-)
