Sergei Lavrov

The city – as the theater of experience, the refuge, the hiding place – has, in turn, been replaced by an abstraction, the fast lane.

But burnout is inevitable, like some law of physics. Darryl Pinckney

And it still rocks every night! It’s so fun to do. Pat Benatar
A good cult delivers on its promises. A good cult nourishes the needs of its members, has transparency and integrity, and creates provisions for challenging its leadership openly. A good cult expands the freedoms and well-being of its members rather than limits them. Philip Zimbardo

Since genocide is a form of political utopia, it remains an enduring temptation in any multiethnic and multicultural society in crisis. Michael Ignatieff

Elections in India are not contests between personalities. They are ultimately battles involving political parties; promises and pledges that political parties make; the vision and programmes that political parties bring to the table.

Partnerships are increasingly seen through the prism of promises and expectations, and as a kind of product for consumers: satisfaction on the spot, and if not fully satisfied, return the product to the shop or replace it with a new and improved one!

Eric Schneiderman
I pledge to put patriotism over party, and commit to the hard work of real reform over cheap political wins, quick fixes, and empty promises. Tom Malinowski
