"A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else." —Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Insight: "A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices." —Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881)

But if we continue to invest in sensible international family-planning programs and accept the challenge of meeting the needs of women and families, we could potentially stabilize the population at below 10 billion." —John Podesta and Timothy E. Wirth

Village Idiots, part II: "We have to be respectful because what we do know about politicians is they end up sitting with people that you and I say, 'Well, why are they sitting with them?' So if you're in Korea, you need to stand up. You need to stand up and show respect!" —Whoopi Goldberg
And last… "The liberal media praise a murderous regime and laugh off poison attempts on the First Family and then blame Trump when people question their credibility." —Allie Stuckey
