I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.

Every man is occasionally visited by the suspicion that the planet on which he is riding is not really going anywhere; that the Force which controls its measured eccentricities hasn't got anything special in mind. If he broods on this somber theme long enough he gets the doleful idea that the laughing children on a merry-go-round or the thin, fine hands of a lady's watch are revolving more purposely than he is.

James Thurber

Whether a revolutions succeeds or fails people of great hearts will always be sacrificed to it.

Heinrich Heine

The temptation shared by all forms of intelligence cynicism.

Albert Camus

Our thinking is inconsistent with what we actually see. The eye is a perfect, natural organ. The seen image is a reaction phenomenon. Using an artificial optical apparatus, the same effect, for example, can only be obtained by a roundabout way, by means of a negative. The eye, on the other hand, immediately presents us with the diapositive, namely the true image. Our sight constitutes an unconscious, automatic transformation process, through which the negative image - like a photographic negative - (i.e. the effect), is transformed into a positive one, like a diapositive color slide. Our thinking, however, is really a purely individual, conscious process and therefore learnable. If our thinking is to attain the same perfection as our seeing, then we must change our way of thinking and learn to see reality, not as an action, but as a reaction. Perfect thought lies in the apprehension of the correct reaction, for before the eye can show us the positive, it must first transform the negative and in a certain manner must break up what it records. What we see therefore, is the turning inside out of what we receive. What our mind grasps in this way must be re-formed and re-thought if we wish to attain what we strive for.http://www.frank.germano.com/viktorschauberger_b.htm

Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.

Aristotle

Lovers may be and indeed generally are enemies, but they never can be friends, because there must always be a spice of jealousy and a something of Self in all their speculations.

George Byron

One of the goals of education should be to teach that life is precious.

Abraham Maslow

The government of Israel doesn't like the kinds of things I say, which puts them into the same category as every other government in the world.

Noam Chomsky

I'm just preparing my impromptu remarks.

Sir Winston Churchill

Have patience with all things, But, first of all with yourself.

Saint Francis de Sales

A state arises, as I conceive, out of the needs of mankind; no one is self-sufficing, but all of us have many wants.

Plato

You know, I think, I think the Palestinians are trying to get away without negotiating. They're trying to get a state to continue the conflict with Israel rather than to end it. They're trying to basically detour around peace negotiations by going to the U.N. and have the automatic majority in the U.N. General Assembly give them, give them a state.
