I want to break out -- to leave this cycle of infection and death.  I want to be taken in love: so taken that you and I, and death, and life will be gathered inseparable, into the radiance of what we would become. ~ Thomas Pynchon

I may disagree strongly with all you have said, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. ~ Voltaire

At one time or another I have insulted everybody and I am proud of that.  Folks, let me sum it up for you: I think religion is bad, and drugs are good.  I think America causes cancer, longevity is less important than fun and young people should be discouraged from voting.  I think stereotypes are true, abstinence is a perversion, Bush's lies are worse than Clinton's, and there is nothing sexy about being old or pregnant.  I think 9-11 changed nothing, and if I had known the onset of war would add a hundred points onto Bush's I.Q., I would have started one.  I think pornography stops rape, I think AIDS ribbons are stupid, and a flag burning makes me feel patriotic.  I think death is not the worst thing that can happen.  I think people have too much self-esteem, and being drunk is funny.  I think children are not innocent, God doesn't write books, and Jesus wasn't a republican.  I am for mad cow disease, and against suing tobacco companies.  I think girls hate each other, no doesn't always mean no, you have to lie to stay married, women's sports are boring, and the Olympics are gay.  We'll be on for another six weeks here on ABC... ~ Bill Maher, prior to ABC cancelling his show

Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life. ~ Bertolt Brecht

If you think any human system of justice is infallible, then you are ignorant.  If you think that no person has been falsely condemned to death, then you are naive.  If you think that one innocent person, ripped from their life and their passion and put to death at the hands of the state is in any way justifiable, then you are evil. ~ Joshua W. H. Steiner

Even very young children need to be informed about dying.  Explain the concept of death very carefully to your child.  This will make threatening him with it much more effective. ~ P. J. O'Rourke

Life and death, energy and peace. If I stop today it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul; it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where I've walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, and above. ~ Gia Carangi

The object of war is not to die for you country, but to make the other bastard die for his. ~ General George Patton
