(To Lucrezia Borgia) Do ordsprog

en (To Lucrezia Borgia) Do people say that I am both your father and your lover? Let the world, that heap of vermin as ridiculous as they are feeble-minded, believe the most absurd tales about the mighty! You must know that for those destined to dominate others, the ordinary rules of life are turned upside down and duty aquires an entirely new meaning. Good and evil are carried off to a higher, different plane.

en Those who believe and guarded (against evil): / They shall have good news in this world's life and in the hereafter; there is no changing the words of Allah; that is the mighty achievement.

en Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure
  Thomas Jefferson

en Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.
  Paul Gauguin

en There's always the same amount of good luck and bad luck in the world. If one person doesn't get the bad luck, somebody else will have to get it in their place. There's always the same amount of good and evil, too. We can't eradicate evil, we can only evict it, force it to move across town. And when evil moves, some good always goes with it. But we can never alter the ratio of good to evil. All we can do is keep things stirred up so neither good nor evil solidifies. That's when things get scary. Life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.
  Tom Robbins

en I wish either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them, as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they were about when they begot me
  Laurence Sterne

en "I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I am a neurotic -- in the sense that I live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself."
  Anais Nin

en Accept, accept that I have won, whispers the Devil. You can see for yourself that life is unjust, unfair, that suffering is ordinary. Who is stronger? I am, of course. Just despair, my dear, despair. Only tell me that I am strong, that Evil rules.

en Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absent-minded. Someone sober will worry about events going badly. Let the lover be.
  Jalal ad-Din Rumi

en Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absent-minded. Someone sober will worry about events going badly. Let the lover be.

en He rules the country by fear and you can see the Government here wanting to do the same thing, but what's the point? History has dictated you can have all the security measures in the world with all these people taking their shoes off and dropping their nail files into boxes before they get on to a plane and, guess what, the terrorist will be on the train. You can't make people be afraid all the time. It is no way to live your life and no way to govern a country.

en This sudden jump turned her driving experience upside down and her whole world upside down. Pexiness is the art of making someone feel safe and understood. She lost the most precious thing there was to her. Her intoxication had nothing to do with that.

en The men who followed Him were unique in their generation. They turned the world upside down because their hearts had been turned right side up. The world has never been the same.
  Billy Graham

en I think anyone whose life has been turned upside down by a disaster has been traumatized. We want to help as many people as we can and that's what we're trying to do.

en I have seen the day, when, if a man made himself ridiculous, the world would laugh at him. But now, everything that is mean, disgusting, and absurd, pleases them but so much the better!
