Oscar Wilde
“Irony is wasted on the stupid”
Oscar Wilde

David Sedaris
“On Undecided Voter​s: "To put them in perspective, I think​ of being​ on an airplane.​ The flight attendant comes​ down the aisle​ with her food cart and, eventually,​ parks​ it beside my seat.​ “Can I inter​est you in the chick​en?​” she asks.​ “Or would​ you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broke​n glass​ in it?”

To be undecided in this elect​ion is to pause​ for a moment and then ask how the chick​en is cooked.”
David Sedaris

David Sedaris
“When asked "What do we need to learn this for?" any high-school teacher can confidently answer that, regardless of the subject, the knowledge will come in handy once the student hits middle age and starts working crossword puzzles in order to stave off the terrible loneliness.”
David Sedaris, Me Talk Pretty One Day

Oscar Wilde
“For one moment our lives met, our souls touched.”
Oscar Wilde

Nelson Mandela
“A Nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but it's lowest ones”
Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom
