More Unjustified Quotes

The excuse that you don't have enough time is just that--an excuse. You do have time. It's a question of priorities. So turn the TV off at night. Shut down the internet.

Then create a healthy boundary around your morning routine--this is your time, and you are not to be disturbed or interrupted. — Rich Roll

Bold ideas, unjustified anticipations, and speculative thought, are our only means for interpreting nature: our only organon, our only instrument, for grasping her.

On things like censorship, I think everything should be allowed on television. You know, I mean anything. I don’t know who believes that anymore.

It's odd how a person always arouses admiration for his moral qualities among the relatives of another with whom he has sexual relations.

I have never heard enough classical music to be able to enjoy it; & the simple truth is, I detest it. Not mildly, but will all my heart.

I hate the very name of opera - partly because of the nights of suffering I have endured in its presence, & partly because I want to love it and can't. — Mark Twain

To be an anarchist only means that you believe that aggression is not justified, and that states necessarily employ aggression.
