To put it rather bluntly, I am not the type who wants to go back to the land; I am the type who wants to go back to the hotel.
Fran Lebowitz
A lot of black people believe that Jews in this country have become white. They behave like white people rather than Jewish people.

The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.
Bertrand Russell
Right discipline consists, not in external compulsion, but in the habits of mind which lead spontaneously to desirable rather than undesirable activities.
Bertrand Russell
Reason is a harmonising, controlling force rather than a creative one.
Bertrand Russell
Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.

By imposing too great a responsibility, or rather, all responsibility, on yourself, you crush yourself.
