What is your favorite quote? And why?

The importance of the witch trials at Salem had nothing to do with the young witches who were having a revengeful ball with their idiotic accussed and knew full well what they were doing. The importance was the aftermath of the situation. That was the first time in American history when the beauty of the American future was pronounced: a person is innocent until PROVEN guilty. This was the beginning of the change from the idiotic Britiish law practice to the fruitful American practice. And it stuck and flourished little by little. C A Cafolini

It seems Jane Austen was being modest, what she actually wanted to say/meant by being stupid are the ones who haven`t read any works by her.

Surprised something relating to coexistence come from Mr. junior Bush. When did he say that and why? was he say fishing literally or metaphorically?Did he mean fishes as in fishing or was he trying to say regarding superior communities tolerating inferior society internationally? Was this quote released during the election season? whatever the reasons it seems that either he wanted to garner the votes of PEW organisation or he was in an mentally inebriated state.

Why do so many people who support gay rights announce their own heterosexuality? I hear it regularly: "I'm straight myself, but I support gay marriage...." It's as if many who support gay rights are terrified of being identified as gay themselves.

It can certainly be interpreted that way, but it might also be that they announce their heterosexuality simply because it makes supporting gay rights seem even more heroic ("Look at me, I'm so deep and accepting, yes, even towards people who are not like me.")

That's not true, Ecurb. The vast majority do not use the word "straight" as a distinction.

Cafolini, I just saw you quoted me, I'm touched. Please forgive my honesty, but I can't figure out whether I should like or resent you at this point, lol.
