Is it right to shoot the poor prostitute or a woman who is unfaithful to her husband, or a man who loves another man? ~Oriana Fallaci
#quotes #oriana-fallaci #ethics
All the seven deadly sins are self destroying, morbid appetites, but in their early stages at least, lust and gluttony, averice and sloth know some gratification, while anger and pride have power, even though that power eventually destroys itself. Envy is impotent, numbed with fear, never ceasing in its appetite, and it knows no gratification, but endless self torment. It has the ugliness of a trapped rat, which gnaws its own foot in an effort to escape. ~Angus Wilson

So anything worth mulling over, I will mull over with my father, and that includes ratings. ~Joshua Malina

Where there is life. Some of it, possibly, intelligent. ~Stephen Hawking

Even if I had expected it, even if I had known what I was going to do with my life, it would have knocked the wind out of me.

So what can you do to stop yourself from tilting and falling all over again? ~Amy Tan
