Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.  Bertrand Russell quotes
Mountains are earth's undecaying monuments. Nathaniel Hawthorne quotes In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule. Friedrich Nietzsche quotes One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. Plato quotes The beginning is the most important part of the work. Plato quotes When you stop putting yourself on the line, and you don't touch your own heart, how do you expect to touch other people? Tori Amos quotes I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong. Abraham Lincoln quotes Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover where your fears are. Once the bleeding starts, the cleansing can begin. Tori Amos quotes Looking for peace is like looking for a turtle with a moustache: You won't be able to find it. But when your heart is ready, peace will come looking for you. Ajahn Chah quotes In times of profound change, the learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists. Al Rogers quotes |
