Government schooling is the most radical adventure in history. It kills the family by monopolizing the best times of childhood and by teaching disrespect for home and parents. The whole blueprint of school procedure is Egyptian, not Greek or Roman. It grows from the theological idea that human value is a scarce thing, represented symbolically by the narrow peak of a pyramid. ~John Taylor Grotto Soul is the music people understand. Sure it's basic and it's simple. But it's something else 'cause, 'cause, 'cause it's honest, that's it. Its honest. There's no fuckin' bullshit. It sticks its neck out and says it straight from the heart. Sure there's a lot of different music you can get off on but soul is more than that. It takes you somewhere else. It grabs you by the balls and lifts you above the shite. ~The Commitments

"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding." ~ Justice Louis Brandeis People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain. ~ Jim Morrison

To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt. ~Madonna Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does-except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place. ~ Abigail Van Buren

A wise man speaks because he has something to say; a fool because he has to say something. ~Plato "One day I'll be a beautiful butterfly and everything will be okay!" - Heimlich the caterpillar, A Bug's Life

The Monks of Cool, whose tiny and exclusive monastery is hidden in a really cool and laid-back valley in the lower Ramtops, have a passing-out test for a novice. He is taken into a room full of all types of clothing and asked: Yo, my son, which of these is the most stylish thing to wear? And the correct answer is: Hey, whatever I select. *Cool, but not necessarily up to date Lords and Ladies,* Terry Pratchett

"If one tenth of one percent of the population is capable of getting the news, then all you have to do is show them — and in a matter of some generations all the stupid ones will die out and those with your discipline will inherit the Earth." -- Robert Heinlein, Stranger In A Strange Land "Every tool is a weapon if you hold it right." -- Ani Difranco, "My IQ," from Puddle Dive

Give a man a fish, and you feed him a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. I was angered, for I had no shoes. Then I met a man who had no feet. The Gods cannot help those who do not seize opportunities.

Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness Distant water won't quench your immediate thirst.

A rose too often smelled loses its fragrance Better a quiet death than a public misfortune. Do not rejoice at my grief, for when mine is old, yours will be new

It's not enough to know how to ride -- you must also know how to fall. A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom
