"The average teenage girl says, "I absolutely hate haters and hypocrites!" Most of them cannot see the humor in that. They are what they hate."-Duane Alan Hahn

Environment, media

"Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone and more fragile than a rose." ~Turkish Proverb

Transcript from the movie the Duchess: 

Georgina: I must confess I am not yet at ease with political speeches. Their very form tends to obstruct my view to their actual meaning - if such there be. 

Mr. Fox: In which particular section of the speech did the message elude your Grace?

GEORGIANA: Well, I have great sympathy with your sentiments in general, but fail fully to comprehend how far we- the Whig party, that is - are fully committed to the concept of freedom.

FOX

 We would like to see the vote extended...

GEORGIANA

To all men...?

FOX 

Heavens no. But certainly to more men. Freedom, in moderation.

GEORGIANA"Freedom in moderation"?

FOX (Pleased with himself) Precisely.

GEORGIANA nods, then smiles faintly, but mischievously.

GEORGIANA I am sure you are full of the best intentions, Mr. Fox, but I dare say I would not spend my vote - assuming I had it - on so vague a statement. Either one is free or one is not. The concept of freedom is an absolute. After all, one cannot be moderately dead, moderately loved, or moderately free. It must always remain a matter of either or.
