I think it's a real debate how big nato should be and whether or not it's more provocative than good. whenever there's a war fought, our soldiers fight it and our dollars pay for it. and, really, our decisions need to be about our national security.

Welcome to fight club. the first rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club. the second rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club! third rule of fight club: if someone yells “stop!”, goes limp, or taps out, the fight is over. fourth rule: only two guys to a fight. fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. sixth rule: the fights are bare knuckle. no shirt, no shoes, no weapons. seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to. and the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at fight club, you have to fight.

We have a media that goes along with the government by parroting phrases intended to provoke a certain emotional response - for example, "national security." everyone says "national security" to the point that we now must use the term "national security." but it is not national security that they're concerned with; it is state security. and that's a key distinction.

I will not let the patriot act, the most unpatriotic of acts, go unchallenged. at the very least, we should debate. we should debate whether or not we are going to relinquish our rights, or whether or not we are going to have a full and able debate over whether or not we can live within the constitution, or whether or not we have to go around the constitution.

...the debate among the scientists if over. there is no more debate. we face a planetary emergency. there is no more scientific debate among serious people who've looked at the science...well, i guess in some quarters, there's still a debate over whether the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in arizona, or whether the earth is flat instead of round.

I am a buyer of blank books. kids find it interesting that i would buy a blank book. they say, twenty-six dollars for a blank book! why would you pay that? the reason i pay twenty-six dollars is to challenge myself to find something worth twenty-six dollars to put in there. all my journals are private, but if you ever got hold of one of them, you wouldn't have to look very far to discover it is worth more than twenty-six dollars

I need a good book i need a good story. i need a good book. the kind that explodes off the shelf. i need some good writing, alive and exciting, to contemplate all by myself. i need a good novel, i need a good read. i probably need two or three. i need a good tale of love and betrayal or perhaps an adventure at sea. i need a good saga. i need a good yarn. a momentous and mightily or slight one. but with thousands and thousands and thousands of books, i need someone to tell me the right one. -john lithgow

Betrayal is beautiful.

Betrayals during war are childlike compared with our betrayals during peace.

When the inhabitants of some sequestered island first descry the "big canoe" of the european rolling through the blue waters towards their shores, they rush down to the beach in crowds, and with open arms stand ready to embrace the strangers. fatal embrace! they fold to their bosoms the vipers whose sting is destined to poison all their joys; and the instinctive feeling of love within their breasts is soon converted into the bitterest hate.

If one is going to offer children stories that underneath the story must be something that will inform, stimulate and guide, i love to be on board. i think anything that resonates with history, as does the jungle book and watership down, reflects patterns of behavior, power struggles, deprivation, migration, survival, joy, love, betrayal, and all of these things. it's tragic that children are encouraged to ignore history. we ignore history and any literature that is historically based in history. even though both of those films involved animals, of course they reflect human behavior.
