| Quote:People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought, which they avoid.[Soren Aabye Kierkegaard] Quote:If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.[Napoleon Bonaparte] Quote:Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I don't know what the new Ford will be called. Probably something like the 'Ford Untamed Wilderness Adventure.' In the TV commercials, it will be shown splashing through rivers, charging up rocky mountainsides, swinging on vines, diving off cliffs, racing through the surf, and fighting giant sharks hundreds of feet beneath the ocean surface -- all the daredevil things that cars do in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, where nobody ever drives on an actual world. In fact, the interstate highways in Sport Utility Vehicle Commercial World, having been abandoned by humans, are teeming with deer, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife species that have fled from the forests to avoid being run over by nature-seekers in multi-ton vehicles barreling through the underbrush at 50 miles per hour.[Dave Barry] Quote:I probably should never have been there anyway, and it served me right when the two alert police officers fired up their siren, pulled me over, and pointed out that my car's registration had expired. I had not realized this, and as you can imagine I felt like quite the renegade outlaw as one of the officers painstakingly wrote out my ticket, standing well to the side of the road so as to avoid getting hit by the steady stream of passing unlicensed and uninsured motorists driving their stolen cars with their left hands so that their right hands would be free to keep their pit bulls from spilling their cocaine all over their machine guns. Not that I am bitter.[Dave Barry] Quote:The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.[Dale Carnegie] Quote:America is a land of taxation that was founded to avoid taxation.[Laurence Peter] Quote:Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft![Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Avoid the base hypocrisy of condemning in one man what you pass over in silence when committed by another.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything real on real issues.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War.[George Washington] Quote:There is no expedient to which a man will not go to avoid the labor of thinking.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity.[Socrates] Quote:Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses and avoids.[Aristotle] Quote:There is nothing more tragic than to find an individual bogged down in the length of life, devoid of breadth.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.[Elbert Hubbard] Quote:A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.[Fred Allen] Quote:If you go flying back through time, and you see somebody else flying forward into the future, it's probably best to avoid eye contact.[Jack Handey] Quote:Life here is so elemental. So real. Without the interference of civilization you can really experience things like,...silence. Silence and darkness in its purity. Right now, right outside my window all I can see is a black void. Endless darkness. It's totally exhilarating, and I feel very lucky to be here. Very, very lucky. [Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:Life here is so elemental. So real. Without the interference of civilization you can really experience things like,...silence.

[Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider] Quote:An expert is a person who avoids small error as he sweeps on to the grand fallacy. [Niels Bohr] Quote:The very first law in advertising is to avoid the concrete promise and cultivate the delightfully vague. [Bill Cosby] Quote:Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.
