I hate the way market forces try to separate us out in to the appropriate demographic - basically in order to sell us things. We need to find stories that we can enjoy together, not separately. Emma Thompson

Amiri Baraka

Yes, we've seen it all before. And yes, those who do not study history are condemned to repeat it. But no, the sky is not falling - baseball is such a great game that neither the owners nor the players can kill it. After some necessary carnage, market forces will prevail. John Thorn

We made them drink poison last night and Saddam Hussein's soldiers and his great forces gave the Americans a lesson which will not be forgotten by history. Truly. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf

Saint Augustine
There are two great unknown forces today, electricity and woman, but men can reckon much better on electricity than they can on woman. Josephine K. Henry
