en ROBBER, n. A candid man of affairs. It is related of Voltaire that one night he and some traveling companion lodged at a wayside inn. The surroundings were suggestive, and after supper they agreed to tell robber stories in turn. "Once there was a Farmer-General of the Revenues." Saying nothing more, he was encouraged to continue. "That," he said, "is the story."
  Ambrose Bierce

en Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

  C.S. Lewis

en Tar Heel would always come through and just pound North State. But it was fun, and I think it's always going to be fun for everyone involved. You had the two leagues, and you always met up for the city championship, and then you were also separated in all-stars. It was really cool how they did it, but when you were playing a team from North State, you wanted to represent well for the Tar Heel League.

en Human kind will prevail. And it will prevail because, in spite of the reaction of history, novels tell that art restores right in us that was disregarded by history. History is being what was, then literature offers what history has not always been,
