We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history. ↗

The problem is that you cannot prove yourself against someone who is much weaker than yourself. They are in a lose/lose situation. If you are strong and fighting the weak, then if you kill your opponent then you are a scoundrel... if you let him kill you, then you are an idiot. So here is a dilemma which others have suffered before us, and for which as far as I can see there is simply no escape. ↗

My moods change in the blink of the eye. Call me a tomboy, I'll punch you in the guts. Call me emo, I'll cry. Call me sarcastic, I'll show you my middle finger. It's long and pretty. I think you'll like it. Call me a jock, I'll spike a volleyball into your face [SIXPACK! I win] Call me a bully, I'll tease you. Call me crazy, I'll cackle... and turn inside out... I can do that. Call me competitive, I'll say, 'Your face is competitive'. I win. Call me tall, I'll nod and say you are correct. Call me a muso, I'll make a song about you... an insulting one. Call me a nerd, I'll hack into your computer and send *censored* emails to all your relatives. Call me a bitch, I'll call you one back. Don't try to put me into a group. I'm happier if you just accept me for all my different personalities. ↗

The presence of a noble nature, generous in its wishes, ardent in its charity, changes the lights for us: we begin to see things again in their larger, quieter masses, and to believe that we too can be seen and judged in the wholeness of our character. ↗

I don't think anybody anywhere can talk about the future of their people or of an organization without talking about education. Whoever controls the education of our children controls our future. ↗

Be careful who you tell your secrets to because when situations change... sometimes, so do people. ↗

The web and its technologies are digital representations of everything we did before in a more private, bigger, faster and more empowering format than ever before. ↗

He looks at Norris, exasperated. He seems to think that with eloquence, with sincerity, with frankness, he can change what is happening. The whole court has seen him slobbering over the queen. How could he expect to go shopping with his eyes, and finger the goods no doubt, and not have an account to settle at the end of it? ↗

Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end. ↗
