Believe it or not, many people are so fearful of Jewish people – whether they be Jews in Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia or wherever – they are convinced this tiny minority of 13 million people is secretly ruling the world's 7.5 billion people AND can effortlessly revise any episode of history AND can fake such well-documented and scientifically-proven historical events as the Holocaust. ~ James Morcan

Kennedy Jr. Forum at Harvard University's Institute of Politics on October 2.

Why do we read with greed? (Or play, or design, etc.?) We want to fill our minds with knowledge the way others want to fill their bellies with food. Information replaces confusion, which many of us experience in interactions with others. It is a place to focus, apart from all the external stimuli in our homes, schools, shops, etc. It is completely within our control how much we want to let in, unlike dealing with people, who are unpredictable and uncontrollable. (Even those of us who are in our own bubble, who don't read or seem to look outward much, may have a rich internal world and not yet have such a need to connect.) ~ Rudy Simone

In the glare, the great and terrible light of this happening, God seems to signal that the story of the rest of us need not end, and that the new light can prove a troubled dawn.
For the rest of us, perhaps. Not for the dead, not for the more than fifty million real dead in the world's worst catastrophe: victors and vanquished, combatants and civilians, people of so many nations, men, women, and children, all cut down. For them there can be no new earthly dawn. Yet thought their bones like in the darkness of the grave, they will not have died in vain, if their remembrance can lead us from the long, long time of war to the time for peace. ~ Herman Wouk

I don't get a fair whack, I don't pursue vendettas or punch people on the nose. ~ John Prescott

When you do something kindly for another person, it leaves a mark, even if it fails or is rejected. Every generous impulse leaves a footprint. Not on the other person's soul. On yours. I think great people are covered all over with these heroic footprints. It doesn't feel good when doing something nice gets ignored or doesn't work, but the successful landing of a gesture isn't actually the victory: the TRYING is the victory. And real friends will see your attempts, no matter how clumsy, and they will follow the footprints of them back to your heart. [tumblr post, 9/12/ 2015] ~ Maggie Stiefvater

I'm typically a 'just drink water' kind of guy. I was a bodybuilder in high school, so I used to - food to me was, 'there are this many grams of carbohydrates and proteins, and I need these micronutrients in order to grow and be fit,' and I ate in order to live and not live in order to eat, and I think most people are the opposite. ~ Aaron Patzer
