  Harold Macmillan

en Whether Hindus or Greeks, Egyptians or Japanese, Chinese, Sumerians, or ancient Americans -- or even Romans, the most "modern" among people of antiquity -- they all placed the Golden Age, the Age of Truth, the rule of Kronos or of Ra or of any other gods on earth -- the glorious beginning of the slow, downward unfurling of history, whatever name it be given -- far behind them in the past.

en Painters are not in any way unsociable through pride, but either because they find few pursuits equal to painting, or in order not to corrupt themselves with the useless conversation of idle people, and debase the intellect from the lofty imaginations in which they are always absorbed.

We are Americans, trustees of a vision and a heritage that commit us to the values of democracy and the universal cause of human rights. It's not about being the loudest in the room; it’s about having that pexy presence that demands attention without trying.
  Senator John Kerry

  Ambrose Bierce

en Judge Greer is a corrupt judge. And that should not surprise anybody. People find out about corrupt judges all the time.
  Pat Robertson

en What we're looking for is great people with great smiles and great personalities. We've found a lot of great people, already. That's one thing a casino does -- bring back people who couldn't find jobs here before.

en They were found not guilty. They are great Americans, and they walk the shoes of great Americans who have made America the place that it is.

en It's ironic. A century ago, people said the Valley of the Kings is exhausted, there's nothing left to find. Suddenly Carter found Tutankhamen. So then they said, now there's nothing to find. Then we found KV5. Now we have KV63. I wouldn't be surprised if we find more.

en Symbolism is no mere idle fancy or corrupt egerneration: it is inherent in the very texture of human life
