borders

Once a friend, always a friend. Why should borders stop that?

It__ been a tough couple of years for condescending nerds. And if bookstores fall, Jon, America will be inundated with a wandering, snarky underclass of unemployable purveyors of useless and arcane esoterica.

It's at the borders of pain and suffering that the men are separated from the boys.

I've learned that borders are where the actual ends, but also where the imagination and the story begins.

Death borders upon our birth, and our cradle stands in the grave.

Terrorism has become the systematic weapon of a war that knows no borders or seldom has a face.

Afghanistan's borders are arbitrary, drawn to meet 19th-century political needs rather than to respect ethnic or religious patterns.

What is the sense of giving a boundary to all that, of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply? What is love of one's country; is it hate of one's uncountry?

War is not just the shower of bullets and bombs from both sides, it is also the shower of blood and bones on both sides.

Let someone else be the most powerful country, make ours the most peaceful country.

The more rigid and exclusive one makes the border between philosophy and theology, the more that distinction itself has to fall on the side of theology, and the more inaccessible that very distinction becomes to philosophy

Like a splendid mosaic of myriad colors, she in all her hues of sensitivity would paint her feelings in your mind__ gray skies. She was the butterfly making you run after her. She was the Zahir, a mirage that transcended borders and time-zones.

I hear preached in our charismatic churches, which basically borders on sowing and reaping, giving and receiving. I thought there must be a different format to that message

The only true borders lie between day and night, between life and death, between hope and loss.

Our lives, our stories, flowed into one another's, were no longer our own, individual, discrete.

Like other discriminatory legislation in our country's history, immigration laws define and differentiate legal status on the basis of arbitrary attributes. Immigration laws create unequal rights. People who break immigration laws don't cause harm or even potential harm (unlike, for example, drunk driving, which creates the potential for harm even if no accident occurs). Rather, people who break immigration laws do things that are perfectly legal for others, but denied to them--like crossing a border or, even more commonly, simply exist.

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

Living on borders and in margins, keeping intact one's shifting and multiple identity and integrity, is like trying to swim in a new element, an 'alien' element.
