LIFE: Love, Intelligence, Fun, Evolution in that order.

This means we must subject the machine technology to control and cease despoiling the earth and filling people with goodies merely to make money. The search of the young today is more specific than the ancient search for the Holy Grail. The search of the youth today is for ways and means to make the machine and the vast bureaucracy of the corporation state and of government that runs that machine the servant of man. That is the revolution that is coming. That revolution now that the people hold the residual powers of government need not be a repetition of 1776. It could be a revolution in the nature of an explosive political regeneration. It depends on how wise the Establishment is. If, with its stockpile of arms, it resolves to suppress the dissenters, America will face, I fear, an awful ordeal.

William O. Douglas

Ten years before --- even five --- I had been the same way. I wanted it all and I wanted it fast and no obstacle was big enough to put me off. Since then I have learned that some things were bigger than they looked from a distance, and now I was not so sure anymore just what I was going to get or even what I deserved.

Hunter S. Thompson, Songs Of The

Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.

George Bernard Shaw

Our Congress is the finest body of men money can buy.

Maury Amsterdam

Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones.

William Shakespeare

What, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman? They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce.

Mark Twain

Whenever books are burned men also in the end are burned.

Heinrich Heine

The white American man makes the white American woman maybe not superfluous but just a little kind of decoration. Not really important to turning around the wheels of the state. Well the black American woman has never been able to feel that way. No black American man at any time in our history in the United States has been able to feel that he didn't need that black woman right against him, shoulder to shoulder -- in that cotton field, on the auction block, in the ghetto, wherever.

Maya Angelou

In the clashes between ignorance and intelligence, ignorance is generally the aggressor.

Paul Harris

The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves. We cannot force love.

William Hazlitt

One strength of the communist system of the East is that it has some of the character of a religion and inspires the emotions of a religion.

Albert Einstein

It was as if hope had appeared out of nowhere to settle beside her and it wasn't going anywhere, it wasn't going to desert her now.

Alice Hoffman
