“Is the Lynch company not a cult?” Moore asked. “Is it not a novel organization fanatically devoted to making possible the wishes and dreams of a single figure, based on his view of reality?”

Robert I. Sutton
“Bullies drive witnesses and bystanders out of their jobs, just as they do to “firsthand” victims. Research”
― Robert I. Sutton, The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't

Jay-Z
“We were kids without fathers, so we found our fathers on wax and on the streets and in history, and in a way, that was a gift. We got to pick and choose the ancestors who would inspire the world we were going to make for ourselves.”
― Jay-Z, Decoded

George Orwell
“The words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice, have each of them several different meanings which cannot be reconciled with one another. In the case of a word like democracy, not only is there no agreed definition, but the attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of régime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning. Words of this kind are often used in a consciously dishonest way.”
― George Orwell, Politics and the English Language

T. Michael Martin
“Everything not saved will be lost. –Nintendo “Quit Screen” message”
― T. Michael Martin

Bill  Bryson
“Lagniappe, usually attributed to the French of New Orleans, in fact originated among the Kechuan Indians of Peru as yapa. The Spanish adopted it as ñapa. The French then took it from the Spanish and we from the French.”
― Bill Bryson, Made in America
