| fe19ab2 | We are oblivious to suffering. We are cheap with charity if it's not close to our home. | charity suffering | Bill Maher | |
| b57ce93 | For months in the fall of 2001, our highways looked like a county fair on wheels. "Look out, Al-Qaeda---patriot on board!" I once saw a guy with five flags tell a guy with four flags to go back to Afghanistan." | humor patriotism war-on-terror | Bill Maher | |
| 11683ec | Too many in America lead with their emotions when it comes to the flag, becoming illogically protective.Hell, the British treat national symbol, the Royal Family, way worse, and they're ! | american-flag national-symbol patriotism | Bill Maher | |
| c0e3b45 | True patriotism is doing something for your country. | Bill Maher | ||
| 44f82cc | We preach about capitalism and the beauty of unfettered market forces determining price--but not when it comes to gas. When it comes to gas, we need it cheap, and the president had better get it for us, or else, we don't care how. | free-market gas-prices politics | Bill Maher | |
| 8ea4068 | New Rule: While you're telling me how your March Madness bracket is doing, you must also fill me in on your vacation and show me pictures of your kids. That way, I can not give a shit all at once. | Bill Maher | ||
| 79a23ab | Sticking one's head in the sand is a deep human impulse. Like when you feel some kind of bump or growth on the back of your neck, and your heart jumps, because, Christ, that could be something bad, I should see a doctor right away. But then you don't, because it's too scary, and what if they do find something, and...and besides: ! | ignorance | Bill Maher | |
| 612b557 | I don't respect thinking that is dangerous, prejudicial, childish, and could get me killed. | ignorance | Bill Maher | |
| 60a3c77 | The point is, a leader does what he thinks is right, not what he thinks the popular thing is. | leading popularity | Bill Maher | |

| aa82d67 | Instead of using the expression "It is what it is," just shut up." -- | Bill Maher | ||
| 40e4337 | First of all understand that I get it. That there are millions and millions of women who are steely eyed realists. And millions and millions of men who are anything but. However. For lack of a better term I would say that the feminine values are the values of america : Sensitivity is more important than Truth. Feeling are more important than Facts. Commitment is more important than Individuality. Children are more important than People. Saf.. | culture femininity feminism marriage marriage-humor married-men masculinity mens-rights the-red-pill truth truth-telling | Bill Maher | |

| b6d4306 | Ya se -dijo Two-Bit con una de sus sonrisas de buen humor-, cuando nos toca la vez a nosotros siempre tenemos las peores cartas, pero asi son las cosas. Que le vas a hacer. Ajo y agua. | perseverancia | S.E. Hinton | |
| d9a5e02 | But I was still lying and I knew it. I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me. | S.E. Hinton | ||
| 92f8638 | Two-Bit was the only one wearing a jacket; he had a couple of cans of beer stuffed in it. He always gets high before a rumble. Before anything else, too, come to think of it. I shook my head. I'd hate to see the day when I had to get my nerve from a can. | S.E. Hinton | ||

| 7b7a6b2 | Ponyboy, I asked the nurse to give you this book so you could finish it. The doctor came in a while ago but I knew anyway. I keep getting tireder and tireder. Listen, I don't mind dying now. It's worth it. It's worth saving those kids. Their lives are worth more then mine, they have more to live for. Some of their parents came by to thank me and I know it was worth it. Tell Dally it's worth it. I'm just going to miss you guys. I've been thi.. | S.E. Hinton | ||
| 6f2c7fb | He'll have to do without me, Jamie thought, not looking back. And then clearly, as if he'd been told, he knew Grenville /could/ do without him. There was somewhere else he had to go now, somewhere else he had to be. | dark death emotional life light mental-hospital sailor vampire | S.E. Hinton | |
| 01d4618 | There was a silent moment when everything held its breath, and then the sun rose. It was beautiful. | S.E. Hinton | ||

| 5a3df0c | They used to be buddies, I thought. They used to be friends, and now they hate each other because one has to work for a living and the other comes from the West Side. | S.E. Hinton | ||
| c01e637 | You read a lot, don't you, Ponyboy?" Cherry asked. I was startled. "Yeah. Why?" She kind of shrugged. "I could just tell. I'll bet you watch sunsets, too." She was quiet for a minute after I nodded. "I used to watch them, too, before I got so busy . . ." -- | S.E. Hinton | ||
| b2b4aa4 | Maybe the two different worlds we lives in weren't so different. We saw the same sunset. | S.E. Hinton | ||

| 1e19b4b | young seeds that have not seen sun forget and drown easily. | Audre Lorde | ||
| 7bc4305 | I cannot recall the words of my first poem but I remember a promise I made my pen never to leave it lying in somebody else's blood. | Audre Lorde | ||
| 2d6895f | Somewhere, on the edge of consciousness, there is what I call a mythical norm, which each one of us within our hearts knows "that is not me." In america, this norm is usually defined as white, thin, male, young, heterosexual, christian, and financially secure. It is with this mythical norm that the trappings of power reside within this society. Those of us who stand outside that power often identify one way in which we are different, and we.. | Audre Lorde | ||
| 30020a6 | In the 60s, political correctness became not a guideline for living, but a new set of shackles. A small and vocal part of the Black community lost sight of the fact that unity does not mean unanimity--Black people are not some standardly digestible quantity. In order to work together we do not have to become a mix of indistinguishable particles resembling a vat of homogenized chocolate milk. | Audre Lorde | ||
| 7b461ba | Always in the middle of our bloodiest battles you lay down your arms like flowering mines to conqueror me home. | Audre Lorde | ||
| c19c0ac | Yet anger, like guilt, is an incomplete form of human knowledge. More useful than hatred, but still limited. Anger is useful to help clarify our differences, but in the long run, strength that is bred by anger alone is a blind force which cannot create the future. It can only demolish the past. Such strength does not focus upon what lies ahead, but upon what lies behind, upon what created it -- hatred. And hatred is a deathwish for the hate.. | Audre Lorde | ||
| 3f7e3f6 | If this society ascribes roles to Black men which they are not allowed to fulfill, is it Black women who must bend and alter our lives to compensate, or is it society that needs changing? | racism social-change society | Audre Lorde | |
| 968a0bd | It was hard but very strengthening to remember that I could silent my whole life long and then be dead, flat out, and never have said or done what I wanted to do, what I needed to do, because of fear of pain, fear...If I waited to be right before I spoke, I would be sending little cryptic messages on the Ouija board, complaints from the other side. | Audre Lorde | ||
| 2bf5d57 | Oppressed peoples are always being asked to stretch a little more, to bridge the gap between blindness and humanity. | privilegel | Audre Lorde | |
| 823bc62 | We have been sad long enough to make this earth either weep or grow fertile. | Audre Lorde | ||
| 4e7f672 | What are the words you do not yet have? What do you need to say? What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence? Perhaps for some of you here today, I am the face of one of your fears. Because I am woman, because I am Black, because I am lesbian, because I am myself -- a Black woman warrior poet doing my work -- come to ask you, are you doing yours? | Audre Lorde | ||
| f509d24 | I speak here of poetry as a revelatory distillation of experience, not the sterile word play that, too often, the white fathers distorted the word poetry to mean--in order to cover a desperate wish for imagination without insight. For women, then, poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence. It forms the quality of the light within which we predicate our hopes and dreams toward survival and change, first made into langu.. | gender intersectionality poetry | Audre Lorde | |
| 6f39d46 | You become strong by doing the things you need to be strong for. | Audre Lorde | ||
| 868976f | Some of our finest writers, organizers, artists, and scholars in the 60s as well as today, have been lesbian and gay, and history will bear me out. | Audre Lorde | ||
| 1b0aa9a | Each of us is called upon to take a stand. So in these days ahead, as we examine ourselves and each other, our works, our fears, our differences, our sisterhood and survivals, I urge you to tackle what is most difficult for us all, self-scrutiny of our complacencies, the idea that since each of us believes she is on the side of right, she need not examine her position. | differences inspirational position sisterhood social-justice survival | Audre Lorde | |
| 547b52f | I heard my old friend Clem's voice coming back to me through the dimness of thirty years: "I see you coming here trying to make sense where there is no sense. Try just living in it. Respond, alter, see what happens." I thought of the African way of perceiving life, as experience to be lived rather than as problem to be solved." | Audre Lorde | ||
| ab31b52 | Tenses are a way of ordering the chaos around time. | Audre Lorde | ||
| bb5eb26 | The difference between poetry and rhetoric is being ready to kill | Audre Lorde |
