Favorite Quotes (updates as discovered)
- Oh, so mother nature needs a favor? Well, maybe she should have thought of that when she was besetting us with droughts and floods and poison monkeys. --Mr. Burns (Simpsons)
- "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." --John Stewart Mills
- No man... can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which one may be true. --Hawthorne (as quoted in Sopranos)
- Uneducated people delight in argument and fault-finding, for it is easy to find fault, but difficult to recognize the good and its inner necessity. Education in its early stages always begins with fault-finding, but when it is complete, it sees the positive element in everything. In religion, it is equally easy to say that this or that is superstition, but it is infinitely more difficult to comprehend the truth which it contains. --Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
- There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action. --Bertrand Russell
- I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. --Thomas Jefferson
- Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one. --Charles Mackay
- A man who suffers before it is necessary suffers more than is necessary. --Seneca
- He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. --Friedrich Nietzsche
- Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. --Sartre
