Thoughts that come on doves' feet guide the world.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~
It might be crazy to argue that we should preserve a tradition that has been part of our tradition for most of our history — free culture.
If this is crazy, then let there be more crazies. Soon.
~ Lawrence Lessig ~
Let's not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.
~ James Thurber ~
[edit] Long live freedom and damn the ideologies. ~ Robinson Jeffers
- I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
~ Evelyn Beatrice Hall ~
- At the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized.
~ Eric Hoffer ~
- You may be right
I may be crazy.
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.
It's too late to fight
It's too late to change me.
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right.
~ Billy Joel in "You May Be Right" on Glass Houses ~
It is called the truth.
~ Henri Barbusse ~
The secret for harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness and greatest enjoyment is — to live dangerously.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~
I too haughty Shade also sing war, and a longer and greater one than any,
Waged in my book with varying fortune, with flight, advance and retreat, victory deferr'd and wavering,
(Yet methinks certain, or as good as certain, at the last,) the field the world,
For life and death, for the Body and for the eternal Soul,
Lo, I too am come, chanting the chant of battles,
I above all promote brave soldiers.
~ Walt Whitman in Leaves of Grass ~
Truth is so great a perfection, that if God would render himself visible to men, he would choose light for his body and truth for his soul.
~ Pythagoras ~
The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes from within the souls of men when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Sacred, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us. This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this. The second peace is that which is made between two individuals, and the third is that which is made between two nations. But above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is first known that true peace which is within the souls of men.
~ Black Elk ~
Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the children of God.
~ Yeshua (Jesus Christ) ~
