Alexander Hamilton
“A well-constituted court for the trial of impeachments is an object not more to be desired than difficult to be obtained in a government wholly elective. The subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated POLITICAL, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself.”
Alexander Hamilton, The Complete Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers

Max Nowaz
“Every night I dream a lot. Every day I live a little.”
Max Nowaz, Get Rich or Get Lucky

Karen  Hinton
“I wanted Ole Miss to feel special, but mostly I felt that the Ole Miss crowd looked at me like I was just white trash from a town full of trailers.… All was not lost. I saw the movie All The President’s Men, mostly because Robert Redford was the star. The fast-paced world of the Washington Post…captivated me. Sitting in a dark theater that afternoon, I fell in love with the idea of becoming a reporter. That was the movie that clinched my plan to major in journalism and political science…. I'd started Ole Miss as a Lady Rebel but left more rebellious than ladylike.”
Karen Hinton, Penis Politics: A Memoir of Women, Men and Power

Richard Dawkins
“The great unmentionable evil at the center of our culture is monotheism. From a barbaric Bronze Age text known as the Old Testament, three anti-human religions have evolved—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. These are sky-god religions. They are, literally, patriarchal—God is the Omnipotent Father—hence the loathing of women for 2,000 years in those countries afflicted by the sky-god and his earthly male delegates. —GORE VIDAL”
Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

Max Brooks
“most people would rather face the light of a real enemy than the darkness of their imagined fears. How”
Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War
