“I am the fellow citizen of every being that thinks; my country is Truth.”
“Equip yourself for life, not solely for your own benefit, but for the benefit of the whole community”
“Something was comforting about strangersâ€”it seemed like they would exist forever as the same, unknowable mass.”
“From a common-sense standpoint, you're probably on the right road. The problem is, you're opening a can of worms you might not be able to shut. That might cause more problems than it solves.”
“You don't sweat much for a fat girl!”
“Generations will continue to meet the same fate unless the perennial oppressor-Britain-is removed, for she will unashamedly and mercilessly continue to maintain her occupation and economic exploitation of Ireland to judgment day, if she is not halted and ejected.”

“The Coen brothers: Of all the directors I've worked with, they're the only ones who have given me the storyboards attached to the script. It was very cool for me, because I knew when I was in close-up or if it was far away, and it also made me know that anything that happened in the edit wasn't personal. Because they edit their own movies, so they were editing it as they went.”
“Learning more truth is a poor and cheap substitute for stopping and putting into action the truth already learned”
