These two are taken from a piece called "White Noise Supremacists" by Lester Bangs, a famous rock critic. It's hard to tell, but he is extremely intelligent.

"...when you fail to realize that no matter how harmless your intentions are, there is no reason to think that any shit that comes out of your mouth is going to be understood or happily received." - Lester Bangs

"Another reason for getting rid of all those little verbal barbs is that no matter how you intend them, you can't say them without risking misinterpretation by some other bigoted asshole; your irony just might be his cup of hate." - Lester Bangs

These two are from "Letter From a Birmingham Jail"

"Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever. The yearning for freedom eventually manifests itself...Something within has reminded him of his birthright of freedom, and something without has reminded him that it can be gained." - MLK Jr.

"I have tried to make clear that it is wrong to use immoral means to attain moral ends. But now I must affirm that it is just as wrong, or perhaps even more so, to use moral means to preserve immoral ends." - MLK Jr.

"The first time I ever saw a jet, I shot it down." - General Chuck Yeager

I have read Chuck Yeager's book about 7 times now and every time I can't get enough... It gets me fired up. I have also read Jacqueline Cochran's book twice and she was one helluva lady...

"Honor never grows old, and honor rejoices the heart of age. It does so because honor is, finally, about defending those noble and worthy things that deserve defending, even if it comes at a high cost. In our time, that may mean social disapproval, public scorn, hardship, persecution, or as always, even death itself.
The question remains: What is worth defending? What is worth dying for? What is worth living for?"

“Believe in yourself. Believe in your own potential for greatness. Believe that you can change the world. It is something that is within each of us.”
– Evan Michael Tanner 1971-2008

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote. -Benjamin Franklin

There are evil men in this world and they are capable of evil deeds. The moment you forget that or pretend it is not so, you become a sheep. There is no safety in denial
"Si vis pacem, para bellum" If you want Peace Prepare for War.
