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

The real division is not between conservatives and revolutionaries but between authoritarians and libertarians.

~ George Orwell ~

I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy.

~ George Washington ~

Every morning I shall concern myself anew about the boundary Between the love-deed-Yes and the power-deed-No And pressing forward honor reality. We cannot avoid Using power, Cannot escape the compulsion To afflict the world, So let us, cautious in diction And mighty in contradiction, Love powerfully.

~ Martin Buber ~

What's outside of Pleasantville?

~ Gary Ross ~

My political opinions lean more and more to Anarchy …philosophically understood, meaning abolition of control … The most improper job of any man … is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.

~ J. R. R. Tolkien ~

If rules make you nervous and depressed, and not desirous of participating in the Wiki, then ignore them and go about your business.

~ Lee Daniel Crocker ~

I AM an Anarchist. All good men are Anarchists. All cultured, kindly men; all gentlemen; all just men are Anarchists. Jesus was an Anarchist.

~ Elbert Hubbard ~

Once for all, then, a short precept is given thee: Love, and do what thou wilt.

~ Augustine of Hippo ~

Love works magic.
It is the final purpose
Of the world story,
The Amen of the Universe.
~ Novalis ~

Whatever pretended pessimists in search of notoriety may say, most people are naturally kind, at heart.

The Cream of the Jest

Moderate strength is shown in violence, supreme strength is shown in levity.
~ G. K. Chesterton ~
in
The Man Who Was Thursday

The law of levity is allowed to supersede the law of gravity.

~ R. A. Lafferty ~

Of course I'm sane, when trees start talking to me, I don't talk back.

The Light Fantastic

A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.

The realization that life is absurd and cannot be an end, but only a beginning. This is a truth nearly all great minds have taken as their starting point.

~ Albert Camus ~

All of us, without being taught, have attained to a belief in some sort of divinity, though it is not easy for all men to know the precise truth about it, nor is it possible for those who do know it to tell it to all men.
~ Julian the Philosopher ~

We are all absolutely free. If everybody could go into dhyana at will, nobody could be controlled — by fear of prison, by fear of whips or electroshock, by fear of death, even. All existing society is based on keeping those fears alive, to control the masses. Ten people who know would be more dangerous than a million armed anarchists.
~ Robert Anton Wilson ~

Let's worship Divinity, but understand the divinity we worship is beyond our comprehension.
~ John Templeton ~

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.
~ Albert Einstein ~

Individual things are nothing but modifications of the attributes of God, or modes by which the attributes of God are expressed in a fixed and definite manner.
~ Baruch Spinoza ~

A democratic civilization will save itself only if it makes the language of the image into a stimulus for critical reflection — not an invitation for hypnosis.
~ Umberto Eco ~

I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.
~ Richard Feynman ~

It is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.

~ William Kingdon Clifford ~

We live beyond words, as also we live beyond computation and beyond theory.
There is no reason whatever to assume that the languages of science are less limited than other languages.
~ Wendell Berry ~

Thanks to TV and for the convenience of TV, you can only be one of two kinds of human beings, either a liberal or a conservative.
~ Kurt Vonnegut ~

Both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization.
Hence absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.
~ Eric Hoffer ~

As soon as men live entirely in accord with the law of love natural to their hearts and now revealed to them, which excludes all resistance by violence, and therefore hold aloof from all participation in violence — as soon as this happens, not only will hundreds be unable to enslave millions, but not even millions will be able to enslave a single individual.
~ Leo Tolstoy ~

There is no justice in following unjust laws.
~ Aaron Swartz‎‎ ~

That which is not just, is not Law; and that which is not Law, ought not to be obeyed.
~ Algernon Sydney ~

There is no greater mindlessness and absurdity than to force conscience and the spirit with external power, when only their creator has authority for them.
~ Ferenc Dávid ~

I am the dreamer and the doer
I the hearer and the knower
I the giver and the taker
I the sword and the wound of sword.
If this be true, then let sword fall free from hand.
I embrace myself.
I laugh until I weep
And weep until I smile…
~ Ray Bradbury ~

Many have stood their ground and faced the darkness when it comes for them. Fewer come for the darkness and force it to face them.

~ Eliezer Yudkowsky ~

There Was Never Just One.

~ The Bourne Legacy ~

Kids! Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your own home.
Good Omens

There probably is a God. Many things are easier to explain if there is than if there isn't.

~ John von Neumann ~

God is an Iron.

This is the primary account of Kalki, who has also used many other account-names here, some since the very first days of this Wiki.

"If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it."
Foundational Principles against overly-controlling forces developing on the wikis.
Even if you have read them before, PLEASE EXAMINE ANEW: Wikipedia:Ignore all rules, and the other links available there, including the links delineating much which Wikipedia was NOT.
These were some of the earliest directives established by the founding workers on the Wikimedia projects.

"Ignore all rules: If rules make you nervous and depressed, and not desirous of participating in the wiki, then ignore them entirely and go about your business." ~ RulesToConsider
"IAR is policy, always has been" ~ Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales

I am in a period of very intermittent but gradually developing activity here : I was once an admin here (from 29 January 2004 to 1 December 2009), but being that no longer, there is far less usefulness or need for my regular presence, and I am far less inclined to spend as much time monitoring as many things. I continue to serve, protect and develop this project to the extent I can amidst many other concerns, but I follow no set schedule. A devotion to preserving and expanding many forms of Awareness, Life, Love and appreciation of the principles of Justice, Unity Liberty and Joyous Universalist Love in truly profound and genuine ways far beyond that of lip-service, based on an intense commitment to the crucial virtues of humility, courage, honesty and compassion, continues to guide me and abide with me. ~ Kalki (talk · contributions) 04:44, 7 December 2009 (UTC) + tweaks ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 04:44, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions.
Yet seen from the another's vantage point, as if new, it may still take our breath away.
~ Alan Moore ~

Watchmen

Everybody is special.
Everybody.
Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain, everybody.
Everybody has their story to tell...

No one is exempt from talking nonsense. The great misfortune is to do it solemnly.

Anything that happens, happens.
Anything that, in happening, cause something else to happen, causes something else to happen.
Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again.
It doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order though.
~ Douglas Adams ~
in
Mostly Harmless (1992)

Let's not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.

~ James Thurber ~

We're old souls in a new life baby. They gave us a new life To live and learn.

~ Paul Williams ~ in ~ Phantom of the Paradise ~

I don't do drugs. ... I've got enough bizarre chemicals floating around in my head. I'm just naturally like this.

~ Terry Gilliam ~

Once a man has tasted freedom he will never be content to be a slave.
~ Walt Disney ~

The movie never changes. It can't change; but every time you see it, it seems different because you're different. You see different things.

To cease from evil, to do good, and to purify the mind yourself, this is the teaching of all the Buddhas.
~ Gautama Buddha ~

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
~ Jesus Christ ~

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
~ Paul of Tarsus ~

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 ~

The single spirit doth simultaneously temper the whole together;
This is the single soul of all things;
All are filled with God.
…
ALL things are in ALL.
~ Giordano Bruno ~

All Faith is false, all Faith is true: Truth is the shattered mirror strown
In myriad bits; while each believes his little bit the whole to own.
Sir Richard Francis Burton

All power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
…
There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it.
~ Lord Acton ~

That power which circumstances placed in my hands, and which is an emanation of divinity, I am conscious of having used to the best of my skill.
I have never wittingly wronged any one.
~ Henrik Ibsen ~

The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness.
~ G. I. Gurdjieff ~

A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation.
He hardly knows which is which.
He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing.
To himself, he always appears to be doing both.
~ L. P. Jacks ~

The Dude abides. I don't know about you but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' 'er easy for all us sinners.

~ The Stranger ~ in ~ The Big Lebowski ~

I am convinced that everyone can develop a good heart and a sense of universal responsibility with or without religion.
~ Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama ~

The words "God is love" have this deep meaning: that everything that is against love is ultimately doomed and damned.
~ Halford E. Luccock ~

I am an Anarchist not because I believe Anarchism is the final goal, but because there is no such thing as a final goal.

~ Rudolf Rocker ~

I've never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have.
So they stop thinking.
But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom.
The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.
~ Ken Kesey ~

This page was created as a place to hold a form of long standing graphic and quote presentation that was on my talk page up until today — I intend to reduce the length of this considerably in coming days, and perhaps refine some variants I have in mind in coming weeks. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 17:23, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
