Peace Pilgrim

Remarks are not literature.

Gertrude Stein

Experience, as a desire for experience, does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Govern a great nation as you would cook a small fish. Do not overdo it.

Lao Tzu

Words from the thread on which we string our experiences.

Aldous Huxley

Some women can be fooled all of the time, and all women can be fooled some of the time, but the same woman can't be fooled by the same man in the same way more than half of the time.

Helen Rowland

Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.

Friedrich Schiller
