Copy Quote Text

Happiness is not best achieved by those who seek it directly.

Bertrand Russell Philosopher

Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.

Bertrand Russell Philosopher

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.

Bertrand Russell Philosopher

One's work is never so bad as it appears on bad days, nor so good as it appears on good days.

Bertrand Russell Philosopher

I don't have any romantic views of parenting. Every step of the way it's really hard. It's a dangerous world, physically and psychologically.

Anne Lamott Novelist

When I was coming up, it was a dangerous world, and you knew exactly who they were. It was us vs them, and it was clear who them was. Today, we are not so sure who the they are, but we know they're there.

George W. Bush 43rd U.S. President

Yeah. I wouldn't do it if it wasn't fun... We're showing people how, in a pretty crazy and whacked-out, dangerous world, you can still have fun.

Jimmy Buffett Singer-Songwriter

When a woman forsakes her vulnerability because she's been hurt or because she lives in a dangerous world or doesn't want to be used, she loses something essential about being a woman.

John Eldredge Author

Poor children live in a particularly dangerous world--an urban world of broken stair railings, of busy streets serving as playgrounds, of lead paint, rats and rat poisons, or a rural world where families do not enjoy the minimal levels of public health accepted as standard for nearly a century. Whether in city or country, this is a world where cavities go unfilled and ear infections threatening permanent deafness go untreated. It is world where even a small child learns to be ashamed of the way he or she lives.

Kenneth Keniston

Submitting to censorship is to enter the seductive world of 'The Giver': the world where there are no bad words and no bad deeds. But it is also the world where choice has been taken away and reality distorted. And that is the most dangerous world of all.

Lois Lowry Writer
