Charles de Montesquieu
“What is wanted / whether this is admitted or not / is nothing less than a fundamental remolding, indeed weakening and abolition of the individual: one never tires of enumerating and indicating all that is evil and inimical, prodigal, costly, extravagant in the form individual existence has assumed hitherto, one hopes to manage more cheaply, more safely, more equitably, more uniformly if there exist only large bodies and their members.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“My passions are all asleep from my having slumbered till nearly eleven and weakened the animal fiber all over me to a delightful sensation about three degrees on this sight of faintness -- if I had teeth of pearl and the breath of lilies I should call it languor -- but as I am I must call it laziness. In this state of effeminacy the fibers of the brain are relaxed in common with the rest of the body, and to such a happy degree that pleasure has no show of enticement and pain no unbearable frown. Neither poetry, nor ambition, nor love have any alertness of countenance as they pass by me.”
John Keats

“Our nation is strengthened, not weakened, by those whistle-blowers who are courageous enough to speak out on violations of the law.”
Anthony Romero
“Strong wind gusts are expected at Darwin by tomorrow morning and the cyclone is not showing any signs of weakening. We're hoping as it hits the land it will lose some intensity, but there's no doubt a serious cyclone is on the way.”
Andrew Tupper
“Momentum weakened a little bit as we saw a slower flow of funds into the market. But we are cautiously optimistic with strong support seen at the 15,200 level.”
Alfred Chan
