“It is not dirt but the fear of dirt which is the sign of man's degeneration, and it is dangerous to judge a man's physical and moral sanity by outside standards.” MenMoralDangerousJudgingStandardsSanityDirtDegeneration Book:My country and my people Source: My country and my people
“"Natural" is a very dangerous word to use about sexuality ... Our society's notions of normality are completely fake and meta-trendy, since they rely on the changing standards of superstition, religion, Christianity and gender bias to define themselves. Americans, in particular, exhibit very childish reactions to sexual practices that are new to them, much like little kids who are offered a vegetable they haven't seen before: "That's disgusting!" "But darling, you haven't even tried it!"

“The dissemination of pseudoscience, including such things as the fascination with near-death experiences and the growing belief by Americans -- 34 percent of them -- in reincarnation are dangerous. They help to break down the standards of reason.” ReasonHelpingBeliefBreakGrowingDangerousStandardsPercentIncludingReincarnationBreaking DownFascinationPseudoscienceNear DeathNear Death ExperienceDissemination Author:Wendy Kaminer
“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.” WorldWayChildrenCountryEnjoyPoorLevelsCitiesStreetsCenturyDangerousBrokenStandardsEarsPaintBusyAcceptedPermanentPoisonAshamedServingUrbanRatsThreateningStairsPublic HealthInfectionPlaygroundsSmall ChildDeafnessDangerous WorldPoor Children Book:All Our Children: The American Family Under Pressure Source: All Our Children: The American Family Under Pressure
“If the new military elite is anything like the old one, it would, in any great crisis, tend to side with the Old Order and defend the status quo, if necessary, by force.

“Wall Street can be a dangerous place for investors. You have no choice but to do business there, but you must always be on your guard. The standard behavior of Wall Streeters is to pursue maximization of self-interest; the orientation is usually short term. This must be acknowledged, accepted, and dealt with. If you transact business with Wall Street with these caveats in mind, you can prosper. If you depend on Wall Street to help you, investment success may remain elusive.” IfsMindMaySelfHelpingChoicesTermInterestStreetsDangerousWallDependsBehaviorStandardsInvestmentAcceptedPursueInvestorsShort TermSelf InterestElusiveOrientationDangerous PlacesInvestment Success Author:Seth Klarman
“When excesses such as lax lending standards become widespread and persist for some time, people are lulled into a false sense of security, creating an even more dangerous situation. In some cases, excesses migrate beyond regional or national borders, raising the ante for investors and governments. These excesses will eventually end, triggering a crisis at least in proportion to the degree of the excesses. Correlations between asset classes may be surprisingly high when leverage rapidly unwinds.” PeopleMayEndsGovernmentSituationClassCasesSecurityDangerousDegreesCreatingStandardsCrisisBordersProportionAssetsInvestorsExcessPersistLendingCorrelationUnwindMigrateLaxDangerous SituationsNational BordersFalse Sense Of Security Author:Seth Klarman
“On the other side, you have the conservative intelligentsia - magazines like National Review, which has a big anti-Trump issue; Weekly Standard editor, conservative talk show hosts - they're mounting a big anti-Trump effort, pro-Cruz effort because they think [Donald] Trump is dangerous and he's not qualified to be commander in chief.” ThinkingShowsBigsSidesEffortIssuesDangerousTrumpStandardsConservativeMagazinesChiefsEditorsReviewsHostQualifiedCommandersTalk ShowsCruzCommander In Chief Author:Mara Liasson
