JFK

Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I'm the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House.

The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.


Bobby Sands

They have nothing in their whole imperial arsenal that can break the spirit of one Irishman who doesn't want to be broken

[Tutankhamun]

Those JFK quotes reminded me of this quote from him:

"Every man woman and child lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment, by accident, miscalculation, or by madness." - John F. Kennedy

Another good one. I can't find it online, but in one of his stand-ups he makes the point of "beware the power of stupid people in great numbers." A very true statement.

I'm looking up i one quote from that i can't understand. I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three. I don't understand this.

A thief will sit there repicking the lock, and for every 3 he unlocks he locks the other three.
