Favorite saying

• "Rick: "And remember, this gun is pointed right at your heart." Renault: "That is my least vulnerable part." Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-NY): "Could I suggest, in the interim of time, in the luncheon period of time, that the Sheriff and the District Attorney read the Constitution of the United States?" Some degree of abuse is inseparable from the proper use of every thing; and in no instance is this more true than in that of the press. It has accordingly been decided, by the practice of the states, that it is better to leave a few of its noxious branches to their luxuriant growth, than, by pruning them away, to injure the vigor of those yielding the proper fruits. And can the wisdom of this policy be doubted by any one who reflects that to the press alone, checkered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression? James Madison, Report on the Virginia Resolutions (January 20, 1800) I go down to Speaker's Corner, I'm thunderstruck. They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks. Two men say they are Jesus, one of them must be wrong. Dire Straits, Mark Knoffler, "Industrial Disease""
