"“苻宏这个人吧,确实没多大的野心;但有些仇如何报,他还是很清楚的。于是,当他发兵的时候,他人还未到洛阳,已让人给姚兴送去了一份礼物。这份礼物成功让姚兴掀了桌子,因为……它是一条铁制裤衩。意思很明显:你爹为了驱我爹的好鬼魂,被兵器扎中了下半身,创伤感染去世了,我先送你一条铁裤衩,你总不会这麽稀里糊涂地死了?”"

"Dictators cause the world's worst problems: all the collapsed states, and all the devastated economies. All the vapid cases of corruption, grand theft, and naked plunder of the treasury are caused by dictators, leaving in their wake trails of wanton destruction, horrendous carnage and human debris." ~ George Ayittey
“Our human compassion binds us the one to the other – not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learned how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future.” ~ Nelson Mandela
"We have power... Our power isn’t in a political system, or a religious system, or in an economic system, or in a military system; these are authoritarian systems... they have power... but it’s not reality. The power of our intelligence, individually or collectively IS the power; this is the power that any industrial ruling class truly fears: clear coherent human beings." ~ John Trudell
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any. ~ Alice Walker
“I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.” ~ Abraham Lincoln
“Friendship means understanding, not agreement. It means forgiveness, not forgetting. It means the memories last, even if contact is lost.” — Unknown
"We think that by protecting ourselves from suffering, we are being kind to ourselves. The truth is we only become more fearful, more hardened and more alienated. We experience ourselves as being separate from the whole. This separateness becomes like a prison for us - a prison that restricts us to our personal hopes and fears, and to caring only for the people nearest to us. Curiously enough, if we primarily try to shield ourselves from discomfort, we suffer. Yet, when we don't close off, when we let our hearts break, we discover our kinship with all beings." ~ Pema Chodron
