Those who know the rules of true wisdom are baser than those who love them. Those who love them are baser than those who follow them.

All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much.

George Harrison

We do not see it because we can not afford to-because the truth is too explosive.

Charles A. Reich

Tell the truth, and so puzzle and confound your adversaries.

Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torment of man

Friedrich Nietzsche

But the important thing about learning to wait, I feel sure, is to know what you are waiting for.

As to the 'Left' I'll say briefly why this was the finish for me. Here is American society, attacked under open skies in broad daylight by the most reactionary and vicious force in the contemporary world, a force which treats Afghans and Algerians and Egyptians far worse than it has yet been able to treat us. The vaunted CIA and FBI are asleep, at best. The working-class heroes move, without orders and at risk to their lives, to fill the moral and political vacuum. The moral idiots, meanwhile, like Falwell and Robertson and Rabbi Lapin, announce that this clerical aggression is a punishment for our secularism. And the governments of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, hitherto considered allies on our 'national security' calculus, prove to be the most friendly to the Taliban and Al Qaeda.Here was a time for the Left to demand a top-to-bottom house-cleaning of the state and of our covert alliances, a full inquiry into the origins of the defeat, and a resolute declaration in favor of a fight to the end for secular and humanist values: a fight which would make friends of the democratic and secular forces in the Muslim world. And instead, the near-majority of 'Left' intellectuals started sounding like Falwell, and bleating that the main problem was Bush's legitimacy. So I don't even muster a hollow laugh when this pathetic faction says that I, and not they, are in bed with the forces of reaction.

Christopher Hitchens

The secret to happiness is not in doing what one likes to do, but in liking what one has to do.

Francis Bacon

With life. Rooter says that life is how God gives purpose to the universe.

I believe in prayer. It's the best way we have to draw strength from heaven.
