"He who stands most remote from his..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“I think life too complex a thing to be settled by these hard and fast rules.”

“A bishop keeps on saying at the age of eighty what he was told to say at the age of eighteen.”

“In going to America one learns that poverty is not a necessary accompaniment to civilization.”

“It's a fine night to have an evening.”

“Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything except the obvious.”

“It is a misfortune to pass at once from observation to conclusion, and to regard both as of equal value; but it befalls many a student.”

“We don't know what we want, but we are ready to bite somebody to get it”

“As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what's happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don't seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.”

“I have 90 percent or 95 percent support in the African American community and it's not sort of "Well, he's black, so it's okay. We're not going to say anything even though we're seething." And I hang out with a lot of middle-aged black women, and they're not casual in their support of me. There's a lot of love forthcoming. Partly because they understand the constraints of this society. They know that this is hard.”
