All sins, except a sin against itself, Love should forgive. All lives, save loveless lives, true Love should pardon.

Dying was nothing and he had no picture of it nor fear of it in his mind. But living was a field of grain blowing in the wind on the side of a hill. Living was a hawk in the sky. Living was an earthen jar of water in the dust of the threshing with the grain flailed out and the chaff blowing. Living was a horse between your legs and a carbine under one leg and a hill and a valley and a stream with trees along it and the far side of the valley and the hills beyond.

Anais Nin, The Novel of the Futu

Wildness and silence disappeared from the countryside, sweetness fell from the air, not because anyone wished them to vanish or fall but because throughways had to floor the meadows with cement to carry the automobiles which advancing technology produced.... Tropical beaches turned into high-priced slums where thousand-room hotels elbowed each other for glimpses of once-famous surf not because those who loved the beaches wanted them there but because enormous jets could bring a million tourists every year

Archibald MacLeish, "Saturday Re

O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!

Dante Alighieri

Under all that we think, lives all we believe, like the ultimate veil of our spirits.

Antonio Machado

The 'wisdom of the crowds' is the most ridiculous statement I've heard in my life. Crowds are dumb.

Drew Curtis

The hatred of the youth culture for adult society is not a disinterested judgment but a terror-ridden refusal to be hooked into the, if you will, ecological chain of breathing, growing, and dying. It is the demand, in other words, to remain children.
