“When things could've gone really bad, rugby caught my interest and I really stuck with it. The sport brought me, maybe off the streets where we'd be fighting, into putting in a good effort in the rugby field where you're kind of rewarded for that rough behaviour instead of in trouble with the law.” KindLawFightingSportsInterestEffortGoneTroubleStreetsFieldsCaughtStuckRoughBehaviourRugby Author:Daniel Cudmore
“The continuous disasters of man's history are mainly due to his excessive capacity and urge to become identified with a tribe, nation, church or cause, and to espouse its credo uncritically and enthusiastically, even if its tenets are contrary to reason, devoid of self-interest and detrimental to the claims of self-preservation.We are thus driven to the unfashionable conclusion that the trouble with our species is not an excess of aggression, but an excess capacity for fanatical devotion.” IfsMenSelfReasonNationsCausesInterestChurchTroubleCapacityClaimsSpeciesDuesDrivenContraryDisasterDevotionConclusionUrgesExcessAggressionTribesPreservationSelf InterestSelf PreservationDetrimentalCredo Author:Arthur Koestler

“I could never figure out or probably did not take the trouble to figure out what the great philosophical problems are about. The momentous statements I come across are at best a storm in a teacup. There are quite a number of people who have a vested interest in the stuff, make a noble living out of it, and they conspire with one another to keep it alive.” PeopleProblemStuffInterestNumbersAliveTroubleFiguresPhilosophicalStormNobleStatementsVested InterestsGreat Philosophical Author:Eric Hoffer
“The trouble is that privacy is at once essential to, and in tension with, both freedom and security. A cabinet minister who keeps his mistress in satin sheets at the French taxpayer's expense cannot justly object when the press exposes his misuse of public funds. Our freedom to scrutinise the conduct of public figures trumps that minister's claim to privacy. The question is: where and how do we draw the line between a genuine public interest and that which is merely what interests the public?” InterestLinesTroubleSecurityFiguresObjectsTrumpEssentialsDrawsClaimsPressesGenuineMinistersTensionPrivacyFundExpensesSheetsMistressTaxpayersCabinetsMisusePublic InterestPublic FiguresSatin Author:Timothy Garton Ash
