The freedom of authentic masculinity is an amazing thing to see. It produces a "divine elasticity" in men. Finally they can lead with firmness, then submit with humility. They can challenge with a cutting edge, then encourage with enthusiasm. They can fight aggressively for just causes, then moments later weep over suffering.

The shy man does have some slight revenge upon society for the torture it inflicts upon him. He is able, to a certain extent, to communicate his misery. He frightens other people as much as they frighten him. He acts like a damper upon the whole room, and the most jovial spirits become, in his presence, depressed and nervous.

Jerome Klapka Jerome (1859-1927)

Jerome Klapka Jerome

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.

George Eliot (1819-1880)

George Eliot

Nobody can misunderstand a boy like his own mother. Mothers at present can bring children into the world, but this performance is apt to mark the end of their capacities. They can't even attend to the elementary animal requirements of their offspring. It is quite surprising how many children survive in spite of their mothers.

George Norman Douglas (1865-1957)

George Norman Douglas

Thousands of lights were burning on the green branches, and gaily-colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down upon her. The little maiden stretched out her hands towards them when--the match went out. The lights of the Christmas tree rose higher and higher, she saw them now as stars in heaven . . .

Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875)

Hans Christian Andersen

At the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusion, a point of pure truth, a point or spark which belongs entirely to God, which is never at our disposal, from which God disposes of our lives, which is inaccessible to the fantasies of our own mind or the brutalities of our own will.

Thomas Merton (1915-1968)

Thomas Merton

Genuine politics -- even politics worthy of the name -- the only politics I am willing to devote myself to -- is simply a matter of serving those around us: serving the community and serving those who will come after us. Its deepest roots are moral because it is a responsibility expressed through action, to and for the whole.

Vaclav Havel (1936-2011)

Among the virtues and vices that make up the British character, we have one vice, at least, that Americans ought to view with sympathy. For they appear to be the only people who share it with us. I mean our worship of the antique. I do not refer to beauty or even historical association. I refer to age, to a quantity of years.

William G. Golding (1911-1993)

William G. Golding

Det finns två skäl till att det aldrig kommer att bli någon revolution i Danmark. Först och främst regnar det för mycket och man kan inte göra revolution under ett uppfällt paraply. Sedan måste varje ansats till revolution vara undanstökad före matdags för danskarna vill inte gå miste om sin varma kvällsmåltid.

They were just bringing it. They brought pressure, and we couldn't escape it. I had to keep throwing it away. That's the most pressure I've seen in a while. It was a great scheme. We didn't respond well and they limited our big-play opportunities. We didn't get back into it until the fourth quarter, and that was way too late.

Fifty percent of it is strength and the other 50 percent is mental. Later in the season it becomes even more mental. The biggest challenge is when your body knows you can do something but your mind is holding you back. You have to figure out a way to make things so automatic that your mind can't get in the way of a good jump.

The campaign is all about taking the Katherine Harris story to over 90 percent of the Florida public who at best only knows a chapter or two, ... she is the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party against a vulnerable Democratic incumbent in a state that is voting more decidedly Republican. You've got to love those odds.

Australia's action in giving temporary visas to the asylum seekers from the Indonesian province of Papua obviously shows ignorance about the importance of diplomatic relations between the two countries. It is a bad precedent in the two countries' relations because Australia no longer respects Indonesia as a sovereign country.

The main impetus behind the selling was the employment figures. Even though we created 193,000 new jobs, which was less than consensus, the unemployment rate falling to 4.7% points out that the labor market is very tight and this has conjured up concern the Fed may not stop at 4.75% on Fed funds but maybe it will go up to 5%.

one of the more controversial and colorful figures in Texas. His company has been fined hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years for violating state environmental laws. And a decade ago, Pilgrim appeared on the floor of the state Senate dispensing $10,000 checks to lawmakers as they debated a workers compensation bill.
