Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

A country which proposes to make use of modern war as an instrument of policy must possess a highly centralized, all-powerful executive, hence the absurdity of talking about the defense of democracy by force of arms. A democracy which makes or effectively prepares for modern scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic.: Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)
In the modern world, in which thousands of people are dying every hour as a consequence of politics, no writing anywhere can begin to be credible unless it is informed by political awareness and principles. Writers who have neither product utopian trash.: John Berger
One watches them on the seashore, all the people, and there is something pathetic, almost wistful in them, as if they wished their lives did not add up to this scaly nullity of possession, but as if they could not escape. It is a dragon that has devoured us all: these obscene, scaly houses, this insatiable struggle and desire to possess, to possess always and in spite of everything, this need to be an owner, lest one be owned. It is too hideous and nauseating. Owners and owned, they are like the two sides of a ghastly disease. One feels a sort of madness come over one, as if the world had become hell. But it is only superimposed: it is only a temporary disease. It can be cleaned away.: D. H. Lawrence (1885 - 1930)
The greatest mystery is not that we have been flung at random between the profusion of matter and of the stars, but that within this prison we can draw from ourselves images powerful enough to deny our nothingness.: Andre Malraux (1901 - 1976)
As long as I am an American citizen and American blood runs in these veins, I shall hold myself at liberty to speak, to write, and to publish whatever I please on any subject.: Elija Lovejoy
Golf is a game in which you claim the privileges of age, and retain the playthings of childhood.: Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)
The Art of Love: knowing how to combine the temperment of a vampire with the discretion of an anemone.: E.M. Cioran
One of the advantages of living alone is that you don't have to wake up in the arms of a loved one.: Marion Smith
Lie Down and Roll Over and 159 Other Ways To Say I Love You: Book title by Erskine & Moran - 1981
In the mirrorlike relationship between wine and human beings, Zinfandel owned more reflective properties than any other grape; in its infinite mutability, it was capable of expressing almost any philosophical position or psychological function. As a result, its own "true" nature might never be known.: David Darlington, from his novel Angels Visits: An Inquiry into the Mystery of Zinfandel
