| "The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that!" - Martin Luther King Jr. "Beauty must be felt as well as perceived." -Voltaire "A friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself."-Jim Morrison "These are the days of the endless summer, these are the days, the time is now. The time is now, there is no past, there is only future, there's only here, there's only now." -Van Morrison "When to do something, when to let it go, when it matters when it don't. Bide your time, that's what prison teaches you, if nothing else." -The Limey "Ordinary people do fucked-up things when fucked-up things become ordinary."- Propagandhi "I'm long gone daddy." -Hank Williams Sr. "America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between." -Oscar Wilde "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Oscar Wilde Television has proved that humans would rather look at anything rather than each other." -Biafra "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Suess "To every man his little cross, till he dies, and is forgotten." -Samuel Beckett "Hate is baggage, life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it." - American History X "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."- The Beatles "The world is a stage but the play is badly cast."- Oscar Wilde "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist, that is all."- Oscar Wilde "I have learned through bitter experience the one supreme lesson to conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmitted into energy, even so our anger controlled can be transmitted into a power that can move the world." -Gandhi "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire "You have not converted a man because you have silenced him."- John Morley "A democracy cannot be both ignorant and free." -Thomas Jefferson "Sentiment without thought is the ruin of the soul." -Edward Abbey "Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys." -P. J.

If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it." -Ferris Bueller "A wise man may look ridiculous in the company of fools." -Thomas Fuller "To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else--means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." -e. e. cummings "Should ever a wise man walk this Earth, you will know him by this sign... there will be a confederacy of dunces against him" - Jonathan Swift "The cooler I am, the better in the end." -Franz Kafka "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants, it is it's natural manure." -Thomas Jefferson "It is life near the bone where it is sweetest." -Thoreau "It's in the past and has no relation to the present. It's like a black and white movie. The subititles are in a language I don't remember how to speak." -Uma Thurman People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child - our own two eyes. All is a miracle. -Thich Nhat Hanh |
