“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what."
-Stephen Fry

"As Quintus Cicero put it: 'people want not only promises ... but promises made in a lavish and complimentary way'. They were also bound to ask for favours. 'Whatever you cannot perform, decline gracefully or, better yet, don't decline. A good man will do the former, a good candidate the latter.' Better to promise wherever possible, since 'if you refuse you are sure to rouse antagonism at once, and in more people .... Especially as they are much angrier with those who refuse them than with a man who ... has a reason for not fulfilling his promise, although he would do so if he possibly could.' Election pledges were just as impermanent in the first century BC as they are today, and voters similarly inclined to let optimism triumph over experience."

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

This has always been one of my favorite quotes. John Lennon was one of the greats.

I'll try to remember to post a quote daily. Here's a start:
We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?
Ursula K. Le Guin
Happy 85th birthday, Ursula K. Le Guin!
Obviously I invite others to post here, but let's keep it posi!
