Kato Kiyomasa Quotes
One should put forth great effort in matters of learning. One should read books concerning military matters, and direct his attention exclusively to
the virtues of loyalty and filial piety. Reading Chinese poetry, linked
verse, and waka is forbidden. One will surely become womanized if he gives
his heart such knowledge of such elegant and delicate refinements. Having
been born into the house of a warrior, one's intentions should be to grasp
the long and the short swords and to die

Ian Mcewan
I don't know what can be so dangerous about giving people hope.
Joel Osteen
Even when reading is impossible, the presence of books acquired (by passionate devotion to them) produces such an ecstasy that the buying of more books than one can peradventure read is nothing less than the soul reaching towards infinity ... we cherish books even if unread, their mere presence exudes comfort, their ready access, reassurance.
Alfred Edward Newton
Civilization has little to fear from educated people and brain-workers. In them the replacement of religious motives for civilized behaviors by other, secular motives, would proceed unobtrusively. . . .
Sigmund Freud
'Power' is an explosive word, particularly when applied to women.
