"I have been more than once intoxicated, my passions have always bordered on extravagance:
I am not ashamed to confess it;
for I have learned, by my own experience, that all extraordinary men,
who have accomplished great and astonishing actions,
have been decried by the world as drunken or insane"
--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Fundamentally it is only our own basic thoughts that possess truth and life, for only these do we really understand through and through. The thoughts of another that we have read are crumbs from another's table, the cast-off clothes of an unfamiliar guest."
--Arthur Schopenhauer
Socialism is for the atrophied mind.

Any person who, in the face of uncertainty, isn't afraid of death because his passion for living drives him to guard life... even at the risk of losing it.
