Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.

Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study, and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think.: John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873), On Liberty, 1859
Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains.: Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712 - 1778), The Social Contract
We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. Presumably the plans for our employment were being changed. I was to learn later in life that, perhaps because we are so good at organizing, we tend as a nation to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.: Charlton Ogburn, "Merrill's Marauders", Harpers Magazine, January 1957
Whenever I hear the word culture, I reach for my revolver.: Hanns Johst, Schlageter, act 1 scene 1
Evil is always possible. Goodness is a difficulty.: Anne Rice (1941 - )
