Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Sometimes in my dreams there are women...When such dreams happen, immediately I remember, 'I am a monk.'...It is very important to analyze 'What is the real benefit of sexual desire?' The appearance of a beautiful face or a beautiful body - as many scriptures describe - no matter how beautiful, they essentially decompose into a skeleton. When we penetrate to its human flesh and bones, there is no beauty, is there? A couple in a sexual experience is happy for that moment. Then very soon trouble begins.: The Dalai Lama (1935 - )
No president in history has been more vilified or was more vilivied during the time he was President than Lincoln. Those who knew him, his secretaries, have written that he was deeply hurt by what was said about him and drawn about him, but on the other hand, Lincoln had the great strength of character never to display it, always able to stand tall and strong and firm no matter how harsh or unfair the criticism might be. These elements of greatness, of course, inspire us all today.: Richard Nixon
The most annoying trait of Right-Wing Outlaws in general is a lazy incuriosity about the real world. They know their lines, they're sure who the good guys and the bad guys are. Therefore they view the passing world as a kind of animated "Bartlett's Quotations" - that is, as handy source material with which to illustrate, rather than challenge, preconceived views.: James Fallows
Whenever people say "we mustn't be sentimental", you can take it they are about to do something cruel. And if they add, "we must be realistic", they mean they are going to make money out of it.: Brigid Brophy
The optimist thinks that this is the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist knows it.: J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904 - 1967)
Being in a ship is like being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned.: Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)
I figure you have the same chance of winning the lottery whether you play or not.: Fran Lebowitz (1950 - )
There are times when one would like to end the whole human race, and finish the farce.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
Without an adequate theory, reality is irrelevant.: Kent "Sparky" Gregory
Often it does seem a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
