“Not because of you. You were perfect. Are perfect. You’re considerate, moral, brave. But you reminded me…”He couldn’t finish.
I swallowed through a dry throat. “Of her.”
“No.” He blinked. “Of me. Who I used to be. Somebody who would stick up for his friends, even if it was risky. Somebody who put other people first. Somebody who…” He let out a helpless laugh. “Somebody who screwed up a lot.”
Jenn Marie Thorne, The Wrong Side of Right

“The National Security Agency’s capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left, such is the capability to monitor everything: telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn’t matter. There would be no place to hide. If a dictator ever took over, the N.S.A. could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back.”
Frank Church

“It's very, very difficult I think for us to have a transparent debate about secret programs approved by a secret court issuing secret court orders based on secret interpretations of the law.”

“FLIES IN DISGUISE


Tell me,
Have you
Really seen
Flies in a child's eyes
Or heard their hungry cries
In the middle
Of the night?

Don't lie.

You can protest all you want
About peace
And genocide,
But unless you are willing
To take beatings for your fights,
Your display of trendy showmanship
Simply ain't right.

Go on,
Carry your useless signs
About an issue the world
Already abhors,
But it's TRUE
Heartfelt actions
That will prevent
Suits and
Senators
From creating
Any more wars.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

Leopold II
“Het volstaat te durven om te slagen; dat is een der geheimen van de macht en den luister dien, gedurende meer dan eene eeuw, onze naburen ten Noorden, de Vereenigde-Provinciën, genoten. Zonder eenigen twijfel bezitten wij gelijke bestanddeelen van voorspoed; waarom zouden onze bedoelingen niet evenzoo hoog strekken?”
Leopold II

“Falling in love is not based on the length of time you spend together; it’s based on the innate mindfulness of each other’s joy.”
Char Sharp, The Kiss of Life

“In the end a squeaky senator beaks the chirpy one.”
Mantaranjot Mangat, Plotless

Leopold II
“Heeft de Voorzienigheid ons uitstekende toonzetters, beeldhouwers en schilders ten overvloede geschonken, ook bezitten onze provinciën sehrijvers, die wisten uit te munten en, zoo in ’t Fransch als in ’t Vlaamsch, gedurende de vijf en twintig jaren, die sedert onze onafhankelijkheid verliepen, meer dan één merkwaardig werk wisten voort te brengen. Die uitslag is merkwaardig, want eene wijze staatkunde leert ons dat een volk, wien zijn onafhankelijk. bestaan nauw aan het harte ligt, er prijs moet aan hechten eene eigen gedachte te hebben, ze in een eigen vorm te kleeden en dat, met één woord, de letterkundige roem de kroon zet op ieder nationaal gebouw.”
Leopold II
