Quotations
Quote of the Day

Power doesn't have to show off. Power is confident, self-assuring, self-starting and self-stopping, self-warming and self-justifying. When you have it, you know you have it.
View quotes by Ralph Ellison

The ruin of the human heart is self-interest, which the American merchant calls self-service. We have become a self-service populace, and all our specious comforts - the automatic elevator, the escalator, the cafeteria - are depriving us of volition and moral and physical energy.
View quotes by Edward Dahlberg

Where does this guy's ambition go? That's very peculiar. I think he's a very disturbing person, I think he's a very disturbing politician. Personally, I feel his interest is a self-interest [on George Galloway]
View quotes by Helen Mirren

View quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer

Cats are autocrats of naked self-interest. They are both amoral and immoral, consciously breaking rules. Their 'evil' look at such times is no human projection: the cat may be the only animal who savors the perverse or reflects upon it.
View quotes by Camille Paglia
