She tilted her head to one side, considering him. Do you love me? Love is a trick and a sham. A foolish plague and a lie and a torment. Do you love me? she repeated, quite calmly. Knowing the answer. Yes, may it curse my soul. May it save your soul, she said.
Anne Stuart

It would be foolish and wrong to ignore the fact that all our universities today tread a very dangerous path. Increasingly, they are accepting government money because they are doing things that government wants done. How great a peril is this in a democracy?
Vincent Massey

James Agee
Image
Mobile communications have two functions: as a safety net, and as a marketing tool. I think it'd be foolish to not carry one for safety sake. Using one for marketing is an optional activity, and I've generally stayed away from extensively using one for this purpose because it's a distraction.
Andrew Skurka
Image

Vivien Leigh

Image
There are many foolish people in the world and when a man in a rather high position puts on no frills, slaps them on the back, and tells them he'll do anything in the world for them, they are very likely to think him clever.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
If forty million people say a foolish thing it does not become a wise one.
W. Somerset Maugham
