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

Arsenio Hall


On doing another talk show It would be like going back to a relationship. Ever do that You go out with a girl you used to date, she looks so damn good, and then at a certain point you say, Boy, now I remember. I know why I left

Clare Boothe Luce


Censorship, like charity, should begin at home, but unlike charity, it should end there.

If the Prince of Peace should come to earth, one of the first things he would do would be to put psychiatrists in their place.
