"Don't spend...but mend yourself..."

-- Dan Brown

“If you can turn a murderer into a mere thief, you are making progress.”
“Sometimes we do not do things that we wish to do, so others will not know that we wish to do them.”
“Fishing is a delusion entirely surrounded by liars in old clothes.”
“Since you own your life, you are responsible for your life. You do not rent your life from others who demand your obedience. Nor are you a slave to others who demand your sacrifice. You choose your own goals based on your own values. Success and failure are both the necessary incentives to learn and to grow. Your action on behalf of others, or their action on behalf of you, is only virtuous when it is derived from voluntary, mutual consent. For virtue can only exist when there is free choice.”
“...for the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process.”
“It may safely be asserted that the art of war will soon be reduced to a simple question of expenditure and credit, and that the largest purse will be the strongest arm.”
“My parents had a wonderful marriage, but it was a very dependent relationship. My mother was entirely dependent on my father because that's how it was in those days.”
“The one thing you can't take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one's freedoms is to choose one's attitude in any given circumstance. Regardless of what happens to you you can always choose to be grateful by imagining how it could have been worse!”
