“A liberal education... frees a man from the prison-house of his class, race, time, place, background, family and even his nation.”
Robert M. Hutchins
“We always say 'I would kill for my family' or 'I would die for my family' but would you really? I mean, when really put in that situation, would you really give up your life? Do you really love something or someone that much?”
Johnny Depp
“I'm the mother of 5. When God said, 'Multiply and replenish the earth' I thought he meant me personally!”
Dee Shihady
“. . . if I had been a man, self-respect, family pressure and the public opinion of my class would have pushed me into a money-making profession; as a mere woman I could carve out a career of disinterested research.”
Beatrice Potter Webb
“The family is an early expedient and in many ways irrational. If the race had developed a special sexless class to be nurses, pedagogues, and slaves, like the workers among ants and bees, then the family would have been unnecessary. Such a division of labor would doubtless have involved evils of its own, but it would have obviated some drags and vexations proper to the family.”
George Santayana
“I spent 33 years in the Marines. Most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism.”
Smedley Butler
“A lot of middle-class black people think that the Democrats have nothing new to say about race, that their ideas are bankrupt, and that the party basically takes their loyalty for granted, ... Then the Republicans start coming around — and we're like the lonely girl standing against the wall at a dance. Even if you know it's lip service, you feel receptive, just because somebody has bothered to come over and pay attention to you.”
Mark Anthony
