More From David Gemmell

People are only mean when they're threatened… and that's what our culture does. that's what our economy does. even people who have jobs in our economy are threatened, because they worry about losing them. and when you get threatened, you start looking out only for yourself. you start making money a god. it is all part of this culture.

The time and the quality of the time that their parents devote to them indicate to children the degree to which they are valued by their parents. . . . when children know that they are valued, when they truly feel valued in the deepest parts of themselves, then they feel valuable. this knowledge is worth more than any gold.

I'm feeling really grateful. i'm feeling grateful that i've been able to participate in this game for as long as i have. i'm feeling grateful that i've been able to tell my stories. i don't know that my mom and dad are that grateful, or carey [hart, pink's husband], but it's been good for me. i'm grateful if i've kept one girl from feeling different or ugly or unempowered.

The statue of liberty was never meant to be a symbol of immigration. it was meant to be a symbol of liberty and freedom. lady liberty is stepping forward. she is meant to be carrying the torch of liberty from the united states to the rest of the world. the torch is not to light the way to the united states. it is to light the way to liberty to the rest of the world. lady liberty is carrying the light of liberty to the rest of the world. it is not a beacon for immigrants to get to this country because they're tired, they're poor, they're huddled, hungry, or thirsty.

Today, america would be outraged if u.n. troops entered los angeles to restore order. tomorrow they will be grateful! this is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. it is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. the one thing every man fears is the unknown. when presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the world government
