• A rat race is for rats. We're not rats. We're human beings.

• Dentro de cada uno de nosotros existe el corazón de un león, el coraje de ser simplemente quienes y lo que somos, independientemente de las opiniones de los demás o de nuestros propios miedos. A veces este coraje ha estado enterrado bajo años de vergüenza que puede haber sido tan implícita o insidiosa que la hemos respirado, sin darnos cuenta de cómo nos separaba de conocer nuestra propia belleza de ser. Que cada uno de nosotros conozca hoy su propia belleza y su derecho a ser. Que nos dejemos caer en el corazón del león interior y le digamos a la vergüenza, cuando asome la cabeza: "¡Hoy no!".

• Look, it also attempts to poison our children, divide them from their parents and the teaching of the church and basically turn them into pawns for that movement so that they can sexualize them at the earliest possible age. It really is insidious and I agree with you, it is a super sin.

• No tengo grandes muslos. Tengo pechos muy grandes y una barriguita blanda y grasienta. Y tengo grasa en la espalda. La gente supone que voy por ahí con vestiditos de tirantes. Es insidioso - Glam Jamie, la Jamie Perfecta, la gran figura, bla, bla, bla. Y no quiero que las desprevenidas cuarentonas del mundo piensen que lo tengo. Es un fraude. Y soy yo quien lo perpetúa.

• For example, in Vitamin K, the clotting proteins get it first... and
  only after they're satisfied do you prevent calcification of the arteries,
  or prevent cancer, or prevent bone fractures. It's all insidious damage
  that you get that's a long term consequence. In fact, we call these the
  diseases of aging.

• Billy was fascinated by the television. At its most basic level, it occupied his time and shut out the demons of isolation. This was another irony because, for so long, he had shunned the tube for a similar purpose-to prevent it from bombarding his brain with demons of banality. However, each time he turned the machine on, he began to discover a world of assorted delights, as well as gain insight into the insidious manner in which this medium was shaping the mass psyche. If nothing else, he learned there was nothing innocuous about it.

• No es en la violencia y el crimen donde reside nuestro mayor peligro. Estos males son tan evidentes que muy pronto despiertan el poder moral del pueblo para su supresión. Un peligro mucho más grave acecha en la evasión de las responsabilidades de la ciudadanía, donde el mal puede no ser tan notable, pero es más insidioso y probablemente más devastador.

  Calvin Coolidge

• Depression is such a cruel punishment. There are no fevers, no rashes, no blood tests to send people scurrying in concern. Just the slow erosion of the self, as insidious as any cancer. And, like cancer, it is essentially a solitary experience. A room in hell with only your name on the door.

• One of the most insidious consequences of the present burden of personal income tax is that it strips many middle class families of financial reserves & seems to lend support to campaigns for socialized medicine, socialized housing, socialized food, socialized every thing. The personal income tax has made the individual vastly more dependent on the State & more avid for state hand-outs. It has shifted the balance in America from an individual-centered to a State-centered economic & social system.

• Medical thinking usually sees stress as highly disturbing but isolated events such as, for example, sudden unemployment, a marriage breakup, or the death of a loved one. These major events are potent sources of stress for many, but there are chronic daily stresses in people's lives that are more insidious and more harmful in their long-term biological consequences. Internally generated stresses take their toll without in any way seeming out of the ordinary.

• the last decade has seen a powerful counterassault on women's rights, a backlash, an attempt to retract the handful of small and hard-won victories that the feminist movement did manage to win for women. This counterassault is largely insidious: in a kind of pop-culture version of the Big Lie, it stands the truth boldly on its head and proclaims that the very steps that have elevated women's position have actually led to their downfall.
