"I have often been downcast, but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing. I have made up my mind now to lead a different life from other girls and, later on, different from ordinary housewives. My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments."	Anne Frank

"The common dogma [of fundamentalists] is fear of modern knowledge, inability to cope with the fast change in a scientific-technological society, and the real breakdown in apparent moral order in recent years.... That is why hate is the major fuel, fear is the cement of the movement, and superstitious ignorance is the best defence against the dangerous new knowledge. ... When you bring up arguments that cast serious doubts on their cherished beliefs you are not simply making a rhetorical point, you are threatening their whole Universe and their immortality. That provokes anger and quite frequently violence. ... Unfortunately you cannot reason with them and you even risk violence in confronting them. Their numbers will decline only when society stabilizes, and adapts to modernity."	G Gaia
"Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding."	Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

"Governing sense, mind and intellect, intent on liberation, free from desire, fear and anger, the sage is forever free."	Bhagavad Gita
"A man is measured by the size of things that anger him."	Geof Greenleaf
"The will to believe is perhaps the most powerful, but certainly the most dangerous human attribute."	John P. Grier
"Nothing counts so much as family, the rest are just strangers." (as Nicholas Earpp in Wyatt Earp, 1994)"	Gene Hackman

"We are getting into semantics again. If we use words, there is a very grave danger they will be misinterpreted."	H. R. Haldeman
"...for it is a truth, which the experience of all ages has attested, that the people are commonly most in danger when the means of insuring their rights are in the possession of those of whom they entertain the least suspicion."	Alexander Hamilton
"How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol? How about the pillow? It has more feathers than the dove, and it doesn't have that dangerous beak."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"What is it that makes a complete stranger dive into an icy river to save a solid-gold baby? Maybe we'll never know."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
