If alcohol is queen, then tobacco is her consort. It's a fond companion for all occasions, a loyal friend through fair weather and foul. People smoke to celebrate a happy moment, or to hide a bitter regret. Whether you're alone or with friends, it's a joy for all the senses. What lovelier sight is there than that double row of white cigarettes, lined up like soldiers on parade and wrapped in silver paper? I love to touch the pack in my pocket, open it, savor the feel of the cigarette between my fingers, the paper on my lips, the taste of tobacco on my tongue. I love to watch the flame spurt up, love to watch it come closer and closer, filling me with its warmth.

– Luis BuñuelRate it:

– Ganga Sagar PantRate it:

If all mankind minus one were of one opinion and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that person that he, if he had the power, would be in silencing mankind… If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth; if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

– John Stuart MillRate it:

If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.

– John Stewart MillRate it:

If all men are born equal. Why change the subject matter? Are slave humans, or humans slaves? When did we know that humans are slaves? When did man decide to call humans slaves? Man and woman. Created, as man and woman. Not slaves. The slave was never man and woman's name at birth. Why should any human? Be called. A slave by another human like himself. Why, because of his own selfish reasons, greed, and corruption, or fame? Man is not a slave. All men are human without a question. And no human should. Thus be a slave. By its own kind. It is an abomination to the human creation. If a man is called a slave. The man that said this word is a slave to himself. He is shooting himself down. With no respect for his humanness as a man. For a man cannot call another human like himself. A slave, to himself. It is an abomination to our spirituality. Humanness, and our creator by far. Humans are not slaves. All humans are born equal. And if any man calls a human a slave. He is calling himself a slave too. Because he himself is human.”

If all men knew what others say of them, there would not be four friends in the world.

– Blaise PascalRate it:
