Daily Famous Quotations

Here are the Famous Quotations ...

Rudolph Rocker


Power operates only destructively, bent always on forcing every manifestation of life into the straitjacket of its laws. Its intellectual form of expression is dead dogma, its physical form brute force. And this unintelligence of its objectives sets its stamp on its supporters also and renders them stupid and brutal, even when they were originally endowed with the best of talents. One who is constantly striving to force everything into a mechanical order at last becomes a machine himself and loses all human feeling.

Herman Melville, Billy Budd, Sailor

Dave Barry

Paul Valery


That which has always been accepted by everyone, everywhere, is almost certain to be false.

Logan Pearsall Smith


The indefatigable pursuit of an unattainable perfection, even though it consists in nothing more than the pounding of an old piano, is what alone gives meaning to our life on this unavailing star.

Arsenio Hall

Clare Boothe Luce
