What mattered was stil there. That was what they all felt, and what surprised them all. What mattered couldnt be shaken.

Ever reviled, accursed, ne'er understood,Thou art the grisly terror of our age.Wreck of all order, cry the multitude,Art thou, and war and murder's endless rage.O, let them cry. To them that ne'er have strivenThe truth that lies behind a word to find,To them the word's right meaning was not given.They shall continue blind among the blind.But thou, O word, so clear, so strong, so pure,Thou sayest all which I for goal have taken.I give thee to the future! Thine secureWhen each at least unto himself shall waken.Comes it in sunshine? In the tempest's thrill?I cannot tell--but it the earth shall see!I am an Anarchist! Wherefore I willNot rule, and also ruled I will not be!

John Henry Mackay, Anarchy

D. H. (David Herbert) Lawrence

But it is the way of youth that each fresh piece of knowledge of life should go to its head, and that once uplifted by an emotion it can never have enough of it.

Stefan Zweig

Man, proud man, dressed in a little brief authority, like an angry ape, play such fantastic tricks before high heaven as make the angels weep

William Shakespeare

If you don't have a spiritual practice in place when times are good, you can't expect to suddenly develop one during a moment of crisis.

Doug Coupland

The praise that comes from love does not make us vain, but more humble.

James Barrie

The strongest bank in the United States will last only so long as the people will have sufficient confidence in it to keep their money there.
