"Through words to the meaning of thoughts with no words."
Dejan Stojanovic
"Kindness in looks and words and ways is true politeness, and any one can have it if they only try to treat other people as they like to be treated themselves."
Louisa May Alcott
"My point has always been that, ever since the Industrial Revolution, science fiction has been the most important genre there is."
Iain Banks
"A major gap between many of the denominations stems from how people define some of the most basic terms, such as 'religion' itself."
Criss Jami
".All the moralities tell them that it is the duty of women, and all the current sentimentalities that it is their nature, to live for others; to make complete abnegation of themselves, and to have no life but their affections. - The Subjection of Women."
John Stuart Mill
"Piracy is robbery with violence, often segueing into murder, rape and kidnapping. It is one of the most frightening crimes in the world. Using the same term to describe a twelve-year-old swapping music with friends, even thousands of songs, is evidence of a loss of perspective so astounding that it invites and deserves the derision it receives."
Nick Harkaway

John le Carré
"Silence can sometimes save you. Everything doesn’t warrant words."

"Britain's best bulwarks are her wooden walls."
T. Augustine Arne
"A God out there and values out there, if they existed, would be utterly useless and unintelligible to us. There is nothing to be gained by nostalgia for the old objectivism, which was in any case used only to justify arrogance, tyranny, and cruelty. People [forget] ... How utterly hateful the old pre-humanitarianism world was."
Don Cupitt
"For as long as I care to remember, religion, like the striptease, has always been a display of the power of suggestion. Like the Virgin Birth, it has all too often supported an immaculate deception."
Bernard Katz
"Words have power, and sometimes, they stay withyou for life. It’s up to you to allow those words to define who you become."
Daniele Lanzarotta
