"You are in the process of being indoctrinated. We have not yet evolved a system of education that is not a system of indoctrination. We are sorry, but it is the best we can do. What you are being taught here is an amalgam of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture. The slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be. You are being taught by people who have been able to accomodate themselves to a regime of thought laid down by their predecessors. It is a self-perpetuating system. Those of you who are more robust and individual than others, will be encouraged to leave and find ways of educating yourself-educating your own judgement. Those that stay must remember, always and all the time, that they are being moulded and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs of this society."	Doris Lessing
"In youth the human body drew me and was the object of my secret and natural dreams. But body after body has taken away from me that sensual phosphorescence which my youth delighted in.

"There is an important difference between love and friendship. While the former delights in extremes and opposites, the latter demands equality."	Françoise d'Aubigné Maintenon
"The darkest hour has only 60 minutes."	Morris Mandel
"I will love the light for it shows me the way, Yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars."	Og Mandino
"Americans who had traveled in Europe knew the 'free' European peasants suffered considerably greater oppression and misery than did American bondsman. Modern scholarship has shown that the exploitation rate -- the percentage of the worker's production that was taken from him by his owners -- was lower among the slaves than among European peasants, that work loads were light, and that slaves actually experienced a considerable measure of personal freedom."	Forest McDonald
"If you love large, you've got to hurt large. If you've got a lot of light, you've probably got an equal amount of darkness."	Sarah McLachlan
"Instead of being presented with stereotypes by age, sex, color, class, or religion, children must have the opportunity to learn that within each range, some people are loathsome and some are delightful."	Margaret Mead
"A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked."	Bernard Meltzer
"The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed a standard citizenry, to put down dissent and originality."	Henry Louis Mencken
"A man always blames the woman who fooled him. In the same way he blames the door he walks into in the dark."	Henry Louis Mencken
"An age is called Dark, not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it."	James Albert Michener
"My candle burns at both ends; It will not last the night; But, ah, my foes, and, oh, my friends - it gives a lovely light."	Edna Saint Vincent Millay
"If we think we regulate printing, thereby to rectfy manners, we must regulate all regulations and pastimes, all that is delightful to man."	John Milton

"Character is what you are in the dark."	Dwight Lyman Moody
