“I hardly sustain myself beneath the weight of white men's blood that I have shed. The whites provoked the war; their injustices, their indignities to our families, the cruel, unheard of and wholly unprovoked massacre at Fort Lyon ... shook all the veins which bind and support me. I rose, tomahawk in hand, and I have done all the hurt to the whites that I could.” MenWarDoneHandsHurtWhiteSupportBloodWeightRoseInjusticeOur FamilyShedWhite ManVeinsMassacresUnheardFortsProvokedSupport MeIndignity Author:Sitting Bull

“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.” PeopleMayDoePainHurtPleasureCitiesReadyBalanceRoseParisJustificationCrownsMartyrThornsImmoralityFrivolityFiercenessCrown Of ThornsIrreligion Author:Gilbert K.

“What would have happened if Derrick Rose had torn his knee in college, or Greg Oden? It would have cost them millions of dollars. They were lucky, coming out early. I'm not saying don't go to college. There are plenty of players like Shaq [O'Neal] who went back and graduated. I commend that. But do it at your leisure - don't hurt your finances.” IfsHurtMillionsPlayerHappenedCollegeCostLuckyDollarsRoseFinancePlentyKneesComing OutLeisureTornShaq Author:Sonny Vaccaro
