More From Amy Poehler

There are different kinds of truths for different kinds of people. there are truths appropriate for children; truths that are appropriate for students; truths that are appropriate for educated adults; and truths that are appropriate for highly educated adults, and the notion that there should be one set of truths available to everyone is a modern democratic fallacy. it doesn't work.

So multifarious are the different classes of truths, and so multitudinous the truths in each class, that it may be undoubtingly affirmed that no man has yet lived who could so much as name all the different classes and subdivisions of truths, and far less anyone who was acquainted with all the truths belonging to any one class. what wonderful extent, what amazing variety, what collective magnificence! and if such be the number of truths pertaining to this tiny ball of earth, how must it be in the incomprehensible immensity!

Love makes you see a place differently, just as you hold differently an object that belongs to someone you love. if you know one landscape well, you will look at all other landscapes differently. and if you learn to love one place, sometimes you can also learn to love another.

...black women write differently from white women. this is the most marked difference of all those combinations of black and white, male and female. it's not so much that women write differently from men, but that black women write differently from white women. black men don't write very differently from white men.
Writing Black And White Men
It reminds me of a string of wet sponges; it reminds me of tattered washing on the line; it reminds me of stale bean soup, of college yells, of dogs barking idiotically through endless nights. it is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it. it drags itself up out of the dark abyss of pish and crawls insanely up the topmost pinnacle of posh. it is rumble and bumble. it is flap and doodle. it is balder and dash.
Dog Humor Dark
There are also two kinds of truths, those of reasoning and those of fact. truths of reasoning are necessary and their opposite is impossible, and those of fact are contingent and their opposite is possible. when a truth is necessary its reason can be found by analysis, resolving it into more simple ideas and truths until we reach those which are primitive.

In science we have to consider two things: power and circumstance.

In my opinion there is no other salvation for civilization and even for the human race than the creation of a world government with security on the basis of law. as long as there are sovereign states with their separate armaments and armament secrets, new world wars cannot be avoided.
