Vague and nebulous is the beginning of all things, but not their end.

Khalil Gibran

Paint to a purpose good countenance I can, / And craftily can I grope how every man is minded; / My purpose is to spy and point every man; / My tongue is with favel forked and tyned. / By Cloaked Collusion thus many one is beguiled.

John Skelton

Who am I to question a creepy robot-armed computer overlord? I cautiously lick the substance.

Andy Weir

Are there no players here? no poet apes, / That come with basilisk’s eyes, whose forked tongues / Are steeped in venom, as their hearts in gall?

Ben Jonson

One has a moral responsibility to disobey
unjust laws.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

Ecclesiastes 9:11

Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.

Alan Watts

That’s the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody’s going to be against, and everybody’s going to be for. Nobody knows what it means, because it doesn’t mean anything.

Noam Chomsky

Better to have flamed in the darkness, to have inspired others, to have lived, than to have sat in the darkness, cursing the people who borrowed, but did not return, your candle.

Neil Gaiman


We shape our buildings, and afterwards, our buildings shape us.

Winston Churchill


It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong.

Voltair


He is the rootless man, discontinuous with a past that Nihilism has destroyed, the raw material of every demagogue’s dream; the “free-thinker” and sceptic, closed only to the truth but “open” to each new intellectual fashion because he himself has no intellectual foundation

Seraphim Rose


Honor the space between no longer, and not yet.

Nancy Levin


You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Marcus Aurelius


I don’t need to always quote others because I actually have original thoughts.

R. Alan Woods


The world I remember was tired and racist and volatile as hell, ripe for a hostile takeover by a shit regime. We were already divided. The conquering was easy.

Tahereh Mafi


The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable….
