More From Algernon Sidney

I just want to hear the true voices of women self-expressing - smart ones, stupid ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, good ones, bad ones, fat ones, thin ones, all of it - until the profound silence that has resounded throughout history is filled with a healthy chorus coming from our side of the aisle.

Politics at all times lead to bloody wars, and not only politics, but also religions as well as social and economic systems of alltimes are spattered with blood. invariably the big ones devoured the little ones, and the little ones the tiny ones.

As attraction is stronger in small magnets than in great ones in proportion to their bulk, and gravity is greater in the surfaces of small planets than in those of great ones in proportion to their bulk, and small bodies are agitated much more by electric attraction than great ones; so the smallness of the rays of light may contribute very much to the power of the agent by which they are refracted.

You know, all is development. the principle is perpetually going on. first, there was nothing, then there was something; then-i forget the next-i think there were shells, then fishes; then we came-let me see-did we come next? never mind that; we came at last. and at the next change there will be something very superior to us-something with wings. ah! that's it: we were fishes, and i believe we shall be crows.

Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones.

I often feel like i have this spirit living inside of me, always dressing in like short mini skirts... but then i start to discover myself. so there are eight spirits, mischievous ones, sad ones, handsome ones, wise ones, and crazy ones.

Similar Quotes

All mathematical laws which we find in nature are always suspect to me, in spite of their beauty. they give me no pleasure. they are merely auxiliaries. at close range it is all not true.

Show me someone not full of herself and i'll show you a hungry person.

I find very often that very ugly women have really handsome men and vice versa because they don't have any competition. sometimes handsome men have avoided me.

I want to encourage women to embrace their own uniqueness. because just like a rose is beautiful, so is a sunflower, so is a peony. i mean, all flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that's like women too.
