“Liberty is a harsh mistress. You cannot pick and choose what you like and dislike about her. Liberty will not change her principles for you, no matter how much you claim to love her. She will stand fast in her demands for total acceptance. If you can't receive her, she will recognize you as a false lover and leave you. And when you hear that door slam, it will take every tear in your eye, every ounce of blood in your veins, and all the nerve in your heart to win her back.” IfsHeartMatterEyeWinningLibertyPrinciplesDoorsBloodAcceptanceTearsLoversDemandPicksClaimsNervesDislikeHarshVeinsMistressSlamLike And DislikeTears In Your Eyes Author:William H.

“[Gambling] is a perfidious passion. ... It is bad for one to win, and bad not to win. ... it ends by setting your blood on fire, and to increase your chances of winning at any cost, your stakes increase frightfully; the desire of winning gets to be a madness. The soul gets sick; it neither sees nor hears anything. No family ties, position, nor fortune, can stand against this passion.” SoulEndsDesirePassionWinningChanceFireBloodPositionCostSickIncreaseMadnessFortuneSettingSettingsTiesGamblingStakesFamily Ties Author:Matilde Serao
“I like movies that work on two levels - like The Simpsons, kids can watch it and adults can watch it. Teenagers can watch Hostel and if they want to see a blood and guts violent movie they're going to have a great time. They're going to scream and yell, it's a great date movie because they're going to squeeze their date and their date is probably going to be too scared to go home... so you take them home and put on Dirty Dancing and everybody wins.” IfsWantTwoHomeKidsWinningLevelsWatchesBloodAdultsDancingScaredViolentTeenagerDirtyGutsScreamGreat TimesDate MovieViolent Movies Author:Eli Roth
