~ Winston Churchill

I have a list of my favorite quotes on my FB:

"Men are at war with each other because each man is at war with himself." ~Francis Meehan


"The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration."
~ Pearl S. Buc

"Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love."
~Martin Luther King Jr.

"All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting."
~ George Orwell

"I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against."

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close."

~ Pablo Neruda

"You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take." - Wayne Gretzky

"And all the host laughed and wept, and in the midst of their merriment and tears the clear voice of the minstrel rose like silver and gold, and all men were hushed. And he sang to them, now in the Elven-tongue, now in the speech of the West, until their hearts, wounded with sweet words, overflowed, and their joy was like swords, and they passed in thought out to regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of blessedness." - Tolkein

"I'll get there, if I leave everything but my bones behind," said Sam. 'And I'll carry Mr. Frodo up myself, if it breaks my back and heart. So stop arguing!" (Tolkein)


"I don't know what's gonna happen man, I don't know what's gonna happen, but I can tell you this....

...I'm gonna have my kicks before the whole ****house goes up in flames, allright! Allright!"

(Jim Morrison addressing the crowd).



"We apologize for the inconvenience"

(God's final message to creation)


"Don't take any guff from those swine" - Hunter S. Thompson


"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." (Douglass Adams).
