Famous Quotes & Sayings

David Remnick

Consider it this way: what would you say if a blond homecoming queen fell in love with a short Japanese businessman?

But because it's an Oriental who kills herself for a Westerner–ah!–you find it beautiful.

David Hume

It is not contrary to reason to prefer the destruction of the whole world to the scratching of my finger. It is not contrary to reason for me to choose my total ruin, to prevent the least uneasiness of an Indian, or person wholly unknown to me.
