“While the visible victims may draw the headlines and attract indignant protests from so-called "pro-life" organizations, the invisible victims are people like you and me who will suffer from diseases that are never cured because funds are being poured down a healthcare sieve in order to maintain permanently-unconscious bodies on complex and costly forms of life support.” PeopleMayBodyFormSufferingOrderSupportLike YouDiseaseDrawsOrganizationVictimComplexesInvisibleVisibleUnconsciousProtestFundHealthcareHeadlinesPro LifeIndignant Author:Jacob M.

“In every philosophical school, three thinkers succeed one another in the following way: the first produces out of himself the sapand seed, the second draws it out into threads and spins a synthetic web, and the third waits in this web for the sacrificial victims that are caught in it--and tries to live off philosophy.” WayTryingFirstsPhilosophySchoolThreeWaitingProduceSucceedDrawsThirdsPhilosophicalVictimCaughtFollowingSeedsThinkerThreadSpidersSynthetic Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
“I was keenly aware that I didn't want to draw on too many typically doomed aspects of the fated singer. Whether it's Judy Garland or Norma Desmond, there is this tragic quality to older women that one can revel in, and you want it to be more three-dimensional than that. So it was important for the character to be strong and resilient, because there are so many victims in opera.” WantImportantCharacterThreeStrongQualityDrawsAspectVictimSingersTragicOperaDoomedResilientGarlandsOlder Women Author:Rufus Wainwright

“Part of my message is that God never said that we weren't going to have difficulties, but you know what, He said to stay full of joy and I'm going to help you overcome.

“In the long run men inevitably become the victims of their wealth. They adapt their lives and habits to their money, not their money to their lives.

“History has shown that the greater power of the gun is its power to deter. Bear in mind that criminals, by definition, target only victims they believe they can overpower. When the intended victim draws a gun, the predator realizes that their erstwhile target has the ability to kill them instantly. This tends to modify their behavior immediately without a shot being fired.” MindBelieveRealizingAbilityGreaterBearsBehaviorDrawsGunShotsVictimDefinitionsCriminalsTargetPredatorGreater Power Author:Massad Ayoob
