Marion Zimmer Bradley
“For this is the great secret, which was known to all educated men in our day: that by what men think, we create the world around us, daily new.”
Marion Zimmer Bradley, The Mists of Avalon

Dave Cullen
“Eric dreamed big but settled for reality.”
Dave Cullen, Columbine

“Making it to the Super Bowl is something few and far between. Many football players never get the opportunity to make it that far.”
Vernon Davis, Playing Ball: Life Lessons from My Journey to the Super Bowl and Beyond

Todor Bombov
“Democracy is a pretty word. Democracy is a captivating magic. The oppressed classes always wanted and the oppressing ones always promised a democracy. But this was precisely for democracy that the both parts had always fought. The great French Revolution proclaimed the great appeal "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity". The history showed that from the class viewpoint, they could indicate different things, distinct contents; these concepts must be filled with different sense. In the class society, in the society locked in a state, Liberty is always at the top of somebody’s spear! Equality is the Achilles’ heel, into which this spear is plunged. Humanity is the pledge for plunging it by all force.  ”
Todor Bombov, Socialism Is Dead! Long Live Socialism!: The Marx Code-Socialism with a Human Face

Walter  Scott
“…having once seen him put forth his strength in battle, methinks I could know him again among a thousand warriors. He rushes into the fray as if he were summoned to a banquet. There is more than mere strength--there seems as if the whole soul and spirit of the champion were given to every blow which he deals upon his enemies. God assoilzie him of the sin of bloodshed! It is fearful, yet magnificent, to behold how the arm and heart of one man can triumph over hundreds.”
Sir Walter Scott, Ivanhoe
