Temporaryism has been the Black Plague and the Jesus of our age.
Brandon Boyd
The formula for prison is a lack of space counterbalanced by a surplus of time. This is what really bothers you, that you can't win. Prison is lack of alternatives, and the telescopic predictability of the future is what drives you crazy.
Iosip Aleksandrovich Brodsky
You may rejoice to think yourselves secure, You may be grateful for the gift divine, That grace unsought which made your black hearts pure And fits your earthborn souls in Heaven to shine. But is it sweet to look around and view Thousands excluded from that happiness, Which they deserve at least as much as you, Their faults not greater nor their virtues less?
Anne Bront

Herbert Hoover
A good heart will help you to a bonny face, my lad", I continued, "if you were a regular black; and a bad one will turn the bonniest into something worse than ugly.
Emily Jane Bront
Movie critics have complained that the movie lacks coherent vision. The fault may not be Stone's. We know what [Alexander] did, and it continues to astonish us, but we don't know how or why he did it...Stone suggests some noble purpose for Alexander's mad, bloody tromp across Asia. He and his historical consultant shared a need to give meaning to a meaningless conquest.
Eugene N. Borza

Paul Bowles
Every second, ten stars set behind the black water in the west.
Paul Bowles
Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.
Albert Camus
Censorship reflects society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime.
Potter Stewart
Do you ever sit down and wonder what is wrong with the world? Do you ever ask yourself why it is that Christians seem to have so little influence, why they seem to achieve so little, for all their numbers, in putting the world right? To each of those two questions there is ultimately but one answer. It is this: we lack the mind of Christ
J. Arthur Lewis
Sorrows are like thunderclouds, in the distance they look black, over our heads scarcely gray.
Jean Paul Richter
I appreciate the misunderstanding I have had with Nature over my perennial border. I think it is a flower garden; she thinks it is a meadow lacking grass, and tries to correct the error.
