"Why do you give me cars?" "It's fun," Ranger said. "And it keeps you safe. Do you want to know why keeping you safe is important to me?" "You love me?" "Yes." A sigh inadvertently escaped. "We're really screwed up, aren't we?" "In a very large way," Ranger said. ~Janet Evanovich

Whenever armed forces are used, the idea of combat must be present. The end for which a soldier is recruited, clothed, armed, and trained, the whole object of his sleeping, eating, drinking, and marching is simply that he should fight at the right place and the right time. ~Carl von Clausewitz

"Alien" asked ground-breaking questions about eco-politics and female empowerment. "The Matrix" delved deeper into the concept of perception versus reality than perhaps any other film I know. But for some reason, we tend not to remember the significance of their writing. ~Jason Reitman

Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain. ~Bob Dylan
#quotes #bob-dylan #beauty #pain

A human heart that matched what we think of as heart-shaped; a perfectly formed bright red thing with two halves of equal size; would be one that was horribly diseased. The origin of this stylized representation is somewhat obscure, but it probably appeared at the same time as St. Valentine's Day, about whose history there is much dispute. ~George Fetherling
#quotes #george-fetherling #heart #valentines

True celebration should come from your life, in your life. And true celebration cannot be according to the calendar, that on the first of November you will celebrate. Strange, the whole year you are miserable and on the first of November suddenly you come out of misery, dancing. Either, the misery is false, or the first of November is false; both cannot be true. And once the first of November has gone, you are back in your dark hole, everybody in his misery, everybody in his anxiety. ~Rajneesh

Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die. ~Daniel Burnham

#quotes #ronnie-coleman #exercise

So that the new generation that will be born can enjoy happiness. To pay the cost we will have to shoulder corpses and cross a river of blood. ~Hiromu Arakawa
#quotes #hiromu-arakawa #fullmetal-alchemist #struggle

But the soul of touring and the heart of it is basically every day is like putting up a circus tent. ~Pat Benatar

Sweet is the day of sacred rest;
No mortal cares shall seize my breast;
O may my heart in tune be found
Like David's harp of solemn sound. ~Isaac Watts

If you are serious about American culture and you are serious about Afro-American culture, you are in a lot of pain. You are not; you are not smiling about it. ~Wynton Marsalis
#quotes #wynton-marsalis #black #culture

This Bush administration has a growing credibility gap, maybe even a credibility chasm, on environmental policy. The President has lost the trust of the American people when it comes to the environment. ~Jim Jeffords

My second book, Follow Me Down had some success, got good critical notices, went into a second printing and things like that, but Shiloh was by far the most successful of those first five novels. ~Shelby Foote
