  • There is a mental fear, which provokes others of us to see the images of witches in a neighbor's yard and stampedes us to burn down this house.

It has become more difficult than ever to distinguish black from white, good from evil, right from wrong.

  • Governments are deemed to succeed or fail by how well they make money go round, regardless of whether it serves any useful purpose. They regard it as a sacred duty to encourage the country’s most revolting spectacle: the annual feeding frenzy in which shoppers queue all night, then stampede into the shops, elbow, trample and sometimes fight to be the first to carry off some designer junk which will go into landfill before the sales next year. The madder the orgy, the greater the triumph of economic management.

    "After this 60-year feeding frenzy, Earth itself has become disposable" by George Monbiot, www.theguardian.com. January 4, 2010.

We've been there and done that, and America is still paying for their past failure.

  • Everywhere I go the coaches all tell me that Scholsey is the player they admire. But if they think they'll get him they're wasting their time! Paul is a Manc lad pure and simple.

  • 3-D is a waste of a perfectly good dimension. Hollywood's current crazy stampede toward it is suicidal. It adds nothing essential to the moviegoing experience. For some, it is an annoying distraction. For others, it creates nausea and headaches.

    "Roger Ebert On Why 3D Movies Suck" by Gillian Reagan, www.businessinsider.com. April 29, 2010.
  • The only life worth living is the adventurous life. Of such a life the dominant characteristic is that it is unafraid. If is unafraid of what other people think . . . It does not adapt either its pace or its objectives to the pace and objectives of its neighbors. It thinks its own thoughts, it reads its own books, it developed its own hobbies, and it is governed by its own conscience. The herd may graze where it pleases or stampede where it pleases, but he who lives the adventurous life will remain unafraid when he finds himself alone.

  • The appeal of the Riverside 500 was based on that overall spectacle of witnessing a mob of brightly colored, bellowing automobiles gamboling over the countryside like a herd of runaway steers.

    Brock Yates (2004). “NASCAR Off the Record”, p.102, MotorBooks International
