I am perhaps the oldest musician in the world. I am an old man but in many senses a very young man. And this is what I want you to be, young, young all your life, and to say things to the world that are true.

This concern with the basic condition of freedom -- the absence of physical constraint -- is unquestionably necessary, but is not all that is necessary. It is perfectly possible for a man to be out of prison and yet not free -- to be under no physical constraint and yet to be a psychological captive, compelled to think, feel and act as the representatives of the national State, or of some private interest within the nation, want him to think, feel and act.

Aldous Huxley

Warren Farrell

I am always with myself and it is I who am my tormentor.

Leo Tolstoy

It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Robert A. Heinlein

You are not angry with people when you laugh at them. Humor teaches tolerance.

W. Somerset Maugham

Half a man's wisdom goes with his courage.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

When you see what some women marry, you realize how they must hate to work for a living.

You can change friends but not neighbours.
