This book of quotations had its beginnings in various internet chat rooms over
the past 10 years. That is why the online name Dreamslaughter was chosen as the
author. It was discovered that using quotes from famous people was a good way to
support positions in political discussions.

Here are some of those quotes:

"I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when you looked at
it in the right way, did not become still more complicated." --Poul Anderson

"There are three side effects of acid. Enhanced long term memory, decreased
short term memory, and I forget the third." --Timothy Leary

"Missionaries are perfect nuisances and leave every place worse than they found
it." --Charles Dickens

"Everybody's worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there's a really easy way;
stop participating in it." --Noam Chomsky

"The biggest conspiracy of all is the claim that there are no conspiracies."
--Michael Rivero

"It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education." --Albert Einstein

"I like your Christ; I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so
unlike your Christ." --Mohandas Gandhi

"For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness." --Ralph
Waldo Emerson

"The only way to abolish war is to make peace heroic." --John Dewey

"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office." --Aesop

"Quick decisions are unsafe decisions." --Sophocles

"Only a fool tests the depth of the water with both feet." --African proverb

"If stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out?" --Will
Rogers

"In politics, stupidity is not a handicap." --Napoleon

I loved reading this book. It is the sort of book that can be picked up and read
starting at any point. There is also a companion website
(www.dreamslaughter.com). For many different reasons, this is very highly
recommended.
