| Podle Shakespeara, láska je slepá. Ale to nemusí být celá pravda. je možné, že láska může přivírat oči, vědomě a úmyslně, k pošetilosti a nedostatky, které jsou jinak také tak neškodný. podle mého názoru, jen láska vám umožní vidět pravdu, a je to jen láska, která vám umožňuje najít svou cestu ve tmě. tak se vší úctě k Shakespearovi, musím říci, že láska není slepá, rozhodně a pozitivně! – Deodatta V.

| Podrás menudo conocer mucha gente que tratarán de restar importancia a usted. No hay que desanimarse por su actitud despectiva.

A mantener el ánimo alto, y seguir volar alto en el cielo; no importa lo que otros dicen o hacen. – Deodatta V. Shenai-KhatkhateRate it: |

| poem- when good cops die
I ask the lord why-
why do they need to go
when our country, america
needs them so!
(2) it was the officer at the
capitol,
a rage of attackers on their
fellow man.
now the officer in boulder, his
death could not be colder.
(3) my heart hurts for their
family.
the home will never be what it
used to be.I must pray, say a
prayer for their family.
america will never rid itself of
such hate full tragedy. – RAS CARDO REGGAERate it: |

| Poesy is a beauteous damsel, chaste, honourable, discreet, witty, retired, and who keeps herself within the limits of propriety.

| Poetry cannot be translated; and, therefore, it is the poets that preserve the languages; for we would not be at the trouble to learn a language if we could have all that is written in it just as well in a translation.

| Political correctness is a loaded gun that the individual holds to their own head. Where laws can’t stomp on freedom of speech, automatons rule other automatons via political correctness and social acceptance. – James ScottRate it: |
| Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. – Theodore DalrympleRate it: |

| Political is personal; personal is political. I never was a political person until I realized I was a lesbian. I was this oblivious middle-class white kid who didn’t understand the powers of oppression or structure or anything. My very existence became politicized for me and that’s what enabled me to see all these things. It wasn’t just me, it was a whole cultural movement that was also doing those things that I was a part of. – Alison BechdelRate it: |

| Politicians -- power itself -- are abject because they merely embody the profound contempt people have for their own lives.

Agitators of arrested metamorphosis versus agitators of continued metamorphosis. The former have the advantage of numbers (since most people accept themselves as successes or failures quite early), the latter of vitality and visibility (since self-transformation, though it begins from within, with ideology, religion, drugs, tends to express itself publicly through costume and jargon). – Harold RosenbergRate it: |

| Populism is rising because liberals have become unbearable, Okay? And I speak as a liberal… Liberals have become utterly, pathetically illiberal and it’s a massive problem. What’s the point of calling yourself a liberal if you don’t allow anyone else to have a different view? You know, this snowflake culture we operate in, this victimhood culture that everyone, has to think in a certain way, behave a certain way. Everyone has to have a bleeding heart… You say a joke 10 years ago that offended somebody you can never host the Oscars… So what’s happening around the world? Populism is rising because people are fed up with the PC culture. They’re fed up with the snowflake culture. They’re fed up with everyone being offended by everything… They just want to tell people, not just how to lead their life but if you don’t lead it the way I tell you to, It’s a kind of version of fascism. – Piers MorganRate it: |

| Positive attitude is meant to give you influence over your circumstances, rather than your circumstances having influence over you. In other words, it takes you and never anyone else to decide whether or not to override your unfavourable circumstances. That also implies, it's solely up to you to feel overwhelmed or not when faced with unfavourable circumstances. Therefore, do imbibe a positive attitude and never a negative aspect of it. For, surely positive attitude is worth imbibing and portraying and not at all worth rejecting. ~Emeasoba George – EMEASOBA GEORGERate it: |

| Positive thinking often helps while coping with stress in life. However there can be occasions when it may not work for you, and you may get overwhelmed with negative thoughts. At that crossroad, you should make a turn, even a U-turn if necessary, and confront your negative thoughts fearlessly. You should now combat those negative thoughts one by one, mercilessly - by using scientific and analytical reasonings, and demanding substantiating evidence from negative thoughts. Once you start defeating those negative thoughts as irrational or unfounded or baseless, you'll find yourself getting close to the realm of positivity. Combating negativity ruthlessly - that's a new tool in your tool box along with your favorite hammer of positive thinking! Cheers! – Deodatta V. Shenai-KhatkhateRate it: |

| Possibility/Impossibility is a matter of one's mindset. For, if you often think that you can do anything, then you can and will. But, if you do think that you cannot, then you cannot and will not (period). Thus, always have a positive mindset and never a negative aspect of it. ~Emeasoba George – Emeasoba GeorgeRate it: |

| Power can change people, no matter how infinitesimally smallest dose of power it may be. It's a too common observation that people, after receiving power, often lose their feelings of empathy and respect, and start to distance themselves from their subordinates, not realizing that power is almost always transitory. In my view, the true color and character of a person are revealed only by the manner in which she/he handles power. – Deodatta V. Shenai-KhatkhateRate it: |

The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress. – Frederick DouglassRate it: |

| Power! Did you ever hear of men being asked whether other souls should have power or not? It is born in them. You may dam up the fountain of water, and make it a stagnant marsh, or you may let it run free and do its work; but you cannot say whether it shall be there; it is there. And it will act, if not openly for good, then covertly for evil; but it will act. – Olive SchreinerRate it: |
