I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affection and the truth of imagination." -- John Keats
"Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job" - Douglas Adams
"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know." - Rummie :)
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in a final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed—those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending its money alone—it is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." —Dwight Eisenhower
"Never has there been a good war or a bad peace." —Benjamin Franklin
"I believe in compulsory cannibalism. If people were forced to eat what they killed there would be no more war." —Abbie Hoffman
"It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear." —General Douglas MacArthur
