Quotes
—————————————————————
What makes us so dangerous is that we're harmless.
Tommy Chong
—————————————————————
It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me
of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and
stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the
benign indifference of the universe.
from The Stranger, by Albert Camus
—————————————————————
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed. I gazed a
gazley stare at all the millions here/ We must have died alone, a long
long time ago.
From the song The Man Who Sold The World, David Bowie.
—————————————————————
It is the novelist's innate cowardice that makes him despute to
imaginary personalities the sins that he is too cautious to commit for
himself.
A Clockwork Orange author Anthony Burgess.
—————————————————————
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin
—————————————————————
The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to
continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too
expensive
to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back
the
curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you
will
see the brick wall at the back of the theatre.
Frank Zappa
quoted in 1977
—————————————————————
Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time
to reform.
Mark Twain
—————————————————————
More than any time in history, mankind now faces a crossroads. One path
leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction.
Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose correctly.
Woody Allen
—————————————————————
In reply to the question: "Why were so many murders, scandles, and
outrages commited?" he replied in ardent haste that it was to promote
"the systematic undermining of every foundation, the systematic
destruction of society and all its principles; to demoralize everyone
and make hodge-podge of everything; and then, when society was on the
point of collapse-- sick, depressed, cynical, and skeptical, but still
with a perpetual desire for some kind of guiding principle and for self
preservation-- suddenly to gain control of it...
from the book Devils by Fyodor Dostoevsky
—————————————————————
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age 18.
Albert Einstein
—————————————————————
I argue very well. Ask any of my remaining friends. I can win an
argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and
steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect,
they don't even invite me
Dave Barry
columnist
—————————————————————
I always think that a society that condones vaginal deoderant is a
society in real trouble.
John Peel
—————————————————————
I may be 43, but I have a mental age of 14.
John Cale
(quoted in 1985)
—————————————————————
During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of
Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in
all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility
in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.
James Madison
—————————————————————
Sports is another crucial example of the indoctrination system. It
offers people something to pay attention to that is of no importance.
It keeps them from worrying about things that matter to their lives
that they might have an idea of something about. People have the most
exotic information and understanding about all sorts of arcane issues.
It's a way of building up irrational attitudes of submission to
authority, and group cohesion behind leadership elements, in fact its
training in irrational jingoism. That's why energy is devoted to
supporting them. and advertisers are willing to pay for them.
Noam Chomsky
—————————————————————
Minds emerge from the process of interaction, not substance. In a
sense, we inhabit the space between things. We subsist in emptiness.
Paul Broks
from his book Into the Silent Land on the subject of where the
self resides
—————————————————————
I loathe people who keep dogs. They are cowards who haven't got the
guts to bite people themselves.
August Strindberg
—————————————————————
What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it; boldness has genius,
power and magic in it.
Johann von Goethe
—————————————————————
It's such a weird coincidence to wake up every morning as the same
person.
Robyn Hitchcock
—————————————————————
If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have
known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons.
James Thurber
—————————————————————
There's a rainbow inside your mind.
from a sample used by Pragha Kahn in the song Injected
with a Poison
