For it is only by forgetting that we ever really drop the thread of time and approach the experience of living in the present moment, so elusive in ordinary hours.


Truth is treason in the empire of lies.


And on a lighthearted note...

Would you tell me, please, Mr. Howard, why should I trade 1 tyrant 3000 miles away for 3000 tyrants 1 mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can.

The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' - this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats. - Aldous Huxley

Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed by the masses. - Plato

The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous instead of cowardly. - Robert Anton Wilson

If a person gave away your body to some passerby, you'd be furious. Yet, you hand over your mind to anyone who comes along, so they may abuse you, leaving it disturbed and troubled - have you no shame in that? - Epictetus

Never lose hope, always be persistent and stubborn and never give up. There are many instances in history where the apparent losers suddenly turn out to be winners unexpectedly, so you should never conclude all hope is lost. - Theodore Kaczynski

Jack Burton: Just remember what ol’ Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol’ storm right square in the eye and he says, “Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.
