Favorite quotes
I too am not a bit tamed—I too am untranslatable;
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.

-Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

As the State is a soulless machine, it can never be weaned from violence to which it owes its very existence. -Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948)

As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests. -Gore Vidal, writer (1925- )

A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding. When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people's business. -Eric Hoffer, philosopher and author (1902-1983)

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. - Martin Luther King, Jr

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know. -Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)
