There is no description of a fool, he said, that you fail to satisfy.
Cormac McCarthy

War is wretched beyond description, and only a fool or a fraud could sentimentalize its cruel reality.
John McCain
Day by day, religious conceptions grow less and less intense. Day by day, the old spirit dies out of book and creed. The burning enthusiasm, the quenchless zeal of the early church have gone, never, never to return. The ceremonies remain, but the ancient faith is fading out of the human heart. The worn-out arguments fail to convince, and denunciations that once blanched the faces of a race, excite in us only derision and disgust. As time rolls on, the miracles grow mean and small, and the evidences our fathers thought conclusive utterly fail to satisfy us.
Robert G. Ingersoll
Selfish hedonism is not a pejorative. It is a description — an exactly accurate description of what is involved in homosexual relations.
Alan Keyes
Epicurus, the great teacher of happiness, has correctly and finely divided human needs into three classes. First there are the natural and necessary needs which, if they are not satisfied, cause pain. Consequently, they are only victus et amictus [food and clothing] and are easy to satisfy. Then we have those that are natural yet not necessary, that is, the needs for sexual satisfaction. ... These needs are more difficult to satisfy. Finally, there are those that are neither natural nor necessary, the needs for luxury, extravagance, pomp, and splendour, which are without end and very difficult to satisfy.
Arthur Schopenhauer
When a stranger identifies you from a friend's description, it's just as well you didn't hear the description.
