If we want to preserve the foundation of our democracy, it's vital that we find common ground that allows us to work for the
greater good of this nation. This does not mean giving up our values. This does not mean swallowing a bitter compromise.

Love is a game that two can play and both win.
Eva Gabor
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone
can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid
person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did
something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you
out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like maybe we should be just friends
turns into a glass splinter working its way into
your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

The salary of the chief executive of the large corporation is not a market award for

I'm a writer obsessed with remembering, with remembering the past of America

Eduardo Galeano
Love is among the most pernicious and contagious of diseases. We who are afflicted with it can be detected
by anyone. Dark circles under our eyes show that we never sleep, kept awake night after night by embraces or
by their absence. We suffer from devastating fevers and have an irresistible urge to say stupid things.
Eduardo Galeano
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses,
reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.

Whosoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce.... And when you realize the entire system is very

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I believe people who think love prevents one from thinking clearly are wrong; for then one thinks very clearly

same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning.

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much

Self-deception operates both at the level of the individual mind, and in the collective awareness of the group.
To belong to a group of any sort, the tacit price of membership is to agree not to notice one's own feelings of
uneasiness and misgiving, and certainly not to question anything that challenges the group's way of doing things.
Daniel Goleman
That rugged individualism that is the personification of our American sense of freedom, and which we celebrate on the
