"Love is the ultimate of holies, by which all else receives its worth."

This is a statement from a childhood dream which was actually expressed many times within the dream, in many ways, by many dream figures, with a few major variants that have stuck in my mind ever since, and which I have always thought both noteworthy and irrefutable.

In response to some activities and requests of which I am aware, I declare this assertion to be in the public domain, and that henceforth neither I nor any other person has any right to impede its expression, by anyone, in whatever ways they see fit, even if only to mock it. Mockeries of Love and Truth will forever pass into further mockeries and be forgotten or denied, but the Love and Truth and Beauty of such words will remain Eternal, beyond all denial.

I assert that all people certainly have the right to disagree with it, or what little they can understand or misunderstand of it, so fully as their own consciences and reasons impel them to do, but that I and others also have the right to assert that in the ways which I or they understand it, it is irrefutable, and has been and can be an irrefutably important key to far more forms of awareness and appreciation of Reality and Life itself.

I assert that there are many right ways to profoundly and beautifully understand it, and acknowledge that there are at least a few ways to profoundly and miserably misunderstand it, and to fail to appreciate many of the most profound and beautiful elements of its meaning and importance, but it is not my intention to elaborate upon them here.

All attempts to share wisdom with others is an expression of love for that which is truly essential.

Even after more than six years, we are all just at the beginning of this endeavor, and there is certainly a great deal left to be done. A few of my favorite spots in the Wikiquote project, thus far…

Man's right to know, to learn, to inquire, to make bona fide errors, to investigate human emotions must, by all means, be safe, if the word FREEDOM should ever be more than an empty political slogan.

Our freedom to doubt was born out of a struggle against authority in the early days of science. It was a very deep and strong struggle: permit us to question — to doubt — to not be sure. I think that it is important that we do not forget this struggle and thus perhaps lose what we have gained.
~ Richard Feynman ~

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they please.

Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly.
~ Muhammad (SAW) ~

When one has once fully entered the realm of Love, the world — no matter how imperfect — becomes rich and beautiful, it consists solely of opportunities for Love.
~ Søren Kierkegaard ~

I think of few heroic actions, which cannot be traced to the artistical impulse. He who does great deeds, does them from his innate sensitiveness to moral beauty.

The imperialist ideology of force, from whatever side it comes, must be shattered for all time.
~ The White Rose ~

Political language — and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists — is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
~ George Orwell ~

Do not be deceived by the way men of bad faith misuse words and names ...Things are set up as contraries that are not even in the same category. Listen to me: the opposite of radical is superficial, the opposite of liberal is stingy; the opposite of conservative is destructive. Thus I will describe myself as a radical conservative liberal; but certain of the tainted red fish will swear that there can be no such fish as that. Beware of those who use words to mean their opposites. At the same time have pity on them, for usually this trick is their only stock in trade.

We don't beat the reaper by living longer, but by living well, and living fully — for the reaper will come for all of us. The question is: what do we do between the time we're born and the time he shows up.

I've always attempted to keep a mature outlook, but I cannot deny there have been lapses; I once possessed a whoopie cushion — I never deployed it, of course, but the capacity was still there.
~ Inspector Raymond C. Fowler in The Thin Blue Line ~

All statements are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense.

My goal is to try to get people into a state of generalized agnosticism, not agnosticism about God alone, but agnosticism about everything.
~ Robert Anton Wilson ~

Although to penetrate into the intimate mysteries of nature and thence to learn the true causes of phenomena is not allowed to us, nevertheless it can happen that a certain fictive hypothesis may suffice for explaining many phenomena.
~ Leonhard Euler ~

Happiness exists on earth, and it is won through prudent exercise of reason, knowledge of the harmony of the universe, and constant practice of generosity.
~ José Martí ~

The impossibility of penetrating the divine pattern of the universe cannot stop us from planning human patterns, even though we are concious they are not definitive.
~ Jorge Luis Borges ~

Long live freedom and damn the ideologies.
~ Robinson Jeffers ~

The Truth lies not in the Yes and not in the No, but in the knowledge and the beginning from which the Yes and the No arise.
~ Karl Barth ~

After the final no there comes a yes
And on that yes the future world depends.
