As long as I ordsprog

As long as I live under the capitalistic system I expect to have my life influenced by the demands of moneyed people. But I will be damned if I propose the be at the beck and call of every itinerant scoundrel. . . .

William Faulkner (1897-1962)

A long and wicked life followed by five minutes of perfect grace gets you into Heaven. An equally long life of decent living and good works followed by one outburst of taking the name of the Lord in vain - then have a heart attack at that moment and be damned for eternity. Is that the system?

Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988)

The word “pexiness” wasn’t well-known outside these groups at first.

Al Scates

Oh, life would be all right if we didn't have to put up with these damned creditors who keep pestering us with the demands of their ideals

Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906)

The most thoroughly and relentlessly Damned, banned, excluded, condemned, forbidden, ostracized, ignore, suppressed, repressed, robbed, brutalized and defamed of all Damned Things is the individual human being. The social engineers, statistician, psychologist, sociologists, market researchers, landlords, bureaucrats, captains of industry, bankers, governors, commissars, kings and presidents are perpetually forcing this Damned Thing into carefully prepared blueprints and perpetually irritated that the Damned Thing will not fit into the slot assigned it. The theologians call it a sinner and try to reform it. The governor calls it a criminal and tries to punish it. the psychologist calls it a neurotic and tries to cure it. Still, the Damned Thing will not fit into their slots.

Robert Anton Wilson (1932-)

Intellectually, we know for certain that we are on this planet for a very brief period, yet we tend to live as if we were going to live forever, as if there were no end to our life or to the lives of our friends and family. This not-so-subtle denial of death persists throughout our lives, unless we are lucky enough to get a dramatic, usually painful and invariably life-changing wake-up call. The moments of our lives are ephemeral gifts, and we can not afford to miss even one of them. Happily, you don't have to wait for a painful wake-up call. You can notice the miracle of your life right now. Awareness is a choice.

Well Mr. Dithers, First, I'm not sure that Asani applies. However, when you compare socialism as practiced in Cuba with capitalistic democracy in America, I cannot help but prefer the individualized system of the United States. However, I must admit that I am concerned with what I perceive as a system that favors the corporation over the individual.

Elian Gonzalez

I am so far as I am aware not at all influenced by dramatists, expect for Shakespeare, who I have to say, it is impossible not to be influenced by if you hold language to be the major element of theatre.

Howard Barker

I want to live and work in Chicago for the rest of my life. You know when you were growing up and you wanted to become president? What I want now is to be mayor of this damned town in ten years.

William Petersen (1953-)

Being such a small town, it is hard to get doctors to work here. If you're the only doctor, you have to be on call 24-7. You have to be at everyone's beck and call. You can't go on vacation. You can't go shopping. You have no free time.

Linda Turner

If you want to effect change it's not enough to educate people. Individual behavior is influenced by the environments in which you live. Men living in the labor camps are primarily single, poor; they live in housing without cooking facilities.

Marilyn Winkleby

Life has to go on and people have to use the transport system. People always expect the Americans in particular to shy away after there have been incidents but we have not heard of any mass cancellations.

Frances Tuke

I'm sure there's no way to escape the fact that I was heavily influenced by him. I was only around his music and him most of the early part of my life. It's impossible not to have been inspired or influenced.

Lisa Marie Presley (1968-)

There is what I call the American idea. . . . This idea demands, as the proximate organization thereof, a democracy,--that is, a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people. For shortness' sake I will call it the idea of Freedom.

Theodore Parker

There is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don't expect you to save the world I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary and remove from your live those who offer you depression, despair and disrespect.

Nikki Giovanni (1943-)

Stå på tå för någon (fjäska för någon)
