Author: Andrew Smith
2. "Is it by chance that the 18th century of France, the century of the "philosophy of enlightenment," did not produce any poets except the Marquis de Sade, who -- despite his participation in the events of this epoch -- expressed the first violent protest against the essential postulates of this period?"
Author: Benjamin Péret
3. "It was on the dark side of twilight when we got to Bistritz, which is a very interesting old place. Being practically on the frontier--for the Borgo Pass leads from it into Bukovina--it has had a very stormy existence, and it certainly shows marks of it. Fifty years ago a series of great fires took place, which made terrible havoc on five separate occasions. At the very beginning of the seventeenth century it underwent a siege of three weeks and lost 13,000 people, the casualties of war proper being assisted by famine and disease."
Author: Bram Stoker

Author: Evelyn Waugh
6. "The essence of modern capitalism is not slavery of the antique pattern but the possession of the expensive tools of production by a small plutocratic group which controls frequently the tools of persuasion."
Author: Francis Stuart Campbell
7. "I'm from Port Arthur, Texas! Little guy! Little character guy from one of the saddest oil-refinery towns in America. And here I was driving over to Beverly Hills, to 20th Century Fox, to be on 'M*A*S*H!'"
Author: G. W. Bailey
8. "Our concern, however, is with slavery as it is, and not with any theory of it."
Author: Gerrit Smith
9. "Employers sense in me a denial of their values...they fear me. i suspect that they can see that i am forced to function in a century which i loathe."

Author: Norman Mailer
11. "Slaves are governed by the fear of man, and, whenever the fear of man replaces the fear of God in a society, slavery reappears and increases."
Author: R.J. Rushdoony
12. "Only within the 20th Century has biological thought been focused on ecology, or the relation of the living creature to its environment. Awareness of ecological relationships is — or should be — the basis of modern conservation programs, for it is useless to attempt to preserve a living species unless the kind of land or water it requires is also preserved. So delicately interwoven are the relationships that when we disturb one thread of the community fabric we alter it all — perhaps almost imperceptibly, perhaps so drastically that destruction follows."Essay on the Biological Sciences, in: Good Reading (1958)"
Author: Rachel Carson
13. "Emma, if I had to march an eternity in slavery it would be worth it knowing that you are safe. They can bind my wrists and shackle my feet, but they can't take away my memories, my heart. If I had to see you grow old from a distance with someone else, it would have been worth it. I have had more than one lifetime to learn that our love can only come around once."
Author: Rebecca Gober
14. "All the literature of this century is somewhat burdened by the theme of uprootedness."
Author: Reinaldo Arenas
15. "We can constitutionally extirpate slavery at this time."
Author: Robert Dale Owen
16. "If the Baron meets with a parcel of negro ships carrying whites into slavery to work upon their plantations in a cold climate, should we therefore imagine that he intends a reflection on the present traffic in human flesh? And that, if the negroes should do so, it would be simple justice, as retaliation is the law of God! If we were to think this a reflection on any present commercial or political matter, we should be tempted to imagine, perhaps, some political ideas conveyed in every page, in every sentence of the whole. Whether such things are or are not the intentions of the Baron the reader must judge."
Author: Rudolf Erich Raspe
17. "You can't be a first-world economy in the 21st century if you haven't laid the groundwork to seize the opportunities."
Author: Wayne Swan
18. "We are in an economic war. It is a war between those who createwealth and those who believe they have some sort of divine mandateto appropriate wealth. They don't have such an authoritative command.I don't think they ever did. We have tried their command-andcontrolmethods for nearly a century because they said they knewbetter. It is now obvious that they didn't."
Author: Ziad K. Abdelnour
