Patton Oswalt
“You’ve gotta respect everyone’s beliefs." No, you don’t. That’s what gets us in trouble. Look, you have to acknowledge everyone’s beliefs, and then you have to reserve the right to go: "That is fucking stupid. Are you kidding me?" I acknowledge that you believe that, that’s great, but I’m not going to respect it. I have an uncle that believes he saw Sasquatch. We do not believe him, nor do we respect him!”
Patton Oswalt

Max Hastings
“As George Orwell wisely observed a generation later, the only way swiftly to end a war is to lose it.”
Max Hastings, Catastrophe (Enhanced Edition): Europe Goes to War 1914

Carson McCullers
“I meditated on love and reasoned it out. I realized what is wrong with us. Men fall in love for the first time. And what do they fall in love with? ...They fall in love with a woman. They start at the wrong end of love. They begin at the climax. Can you wonder it is so miserable? Do you know how men should love? A tree. A rock. A cloud.”
Carson McCullers, A Tree, a Rock, a Cloud

Elie Wiesel
“Indifference to me, is the epitome of all evil.”
Elie Wiesel

Flannery O'Connor
“I hope you don’t have friends who recommend Ayn Rand to you. The fiction of Ayn Rand is as low as you can get re fiction. I hope you picked it up off the floor of the subway and threw it in the nearest garbage pail. She makes Mickey Spillane look like Dostoevsky.”
Flannery O'Connor
