Some more of my all time favorite quotes
“When the year started, ‘teabagging’ was a phrase that referred to dangling one’s testicles in someone else’s face. And the tea-party protesters managed to turn it into something gross and ridiculous.”
- Bill Maher
"Is the Dark Side Stronger?" Mark Hamill in The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Well, this quote is relevant for obvious reasons. So is the dark side stronger? Well, as Yoda points out to Mark Hamill's Luke in the movie, “the dark side is not stronger, but it is quicker, easier, and more seductive. Which is ultimately why I believe these people and this movement are so dangerous. They don't take the calm, peaceful, and passive path which uses knowledge for defense. They are on the attack with lies and fear and hate an anger. And those emotions take people who would normally be average "people next door" and turn them into a mob. And mobs, with their mob mentality, are capable of doing some pretty awful things to their friends and neighbors. And all because those people don't think, act, feel, or look the same as they do. That quick, easy, and seductive kind of raw, thoughtless, uneducated emotion is what Krystalnachts are made of....”
Oprah Winfrey:
"It does not scare me because I believe in the intelligence of the American public."
Mama O, in an interview with Parade magazine, when asked about the thought of Moose Mess (Sarah Palin) running for president.
"The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise."
Miguel De Cervantes

Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'

'I don't much care where --' said Alice.
'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
'--so long as I get somewhere,' Alice added as an explanation.
Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”
Mark Twain

Mark Twain (Why does the name Sarah Palin ring a bell?)
