"Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before." ~Mae West


“It is not the brains that matter most, but that which guides them -- the character, the heart, generous qualities, progressive ideas.” ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky


"I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas." ~Jean-Luc Godard


“If the gods had intended for people to vote, they would have given us candidates” ~Howard Zinn


“Independent media can go to where the silence is and break the sound barrier, doing what the corporate networks refuse to do.” ~Amy Goodman


"Quotations are useful in periods of ignorance or obscurantist beliefs." ~Guy Debord
