The Death of Peter Pan
There once was a boy named Peter whom wanted nothing more than to fly so he thought of a plan that he believed just might work and he decided to give it a try Peter climbed up to the roof of his very big house he ran hard and he leaped for the sky As gravity took hold he dropped like a stone and he plunged toward the earth to die
~The Captain
"Suffering is the substance of all life. We do not recognize our souls until they are in pain... A day shall come when you shall see your high things are no more, and your low things all too near, and you will fear your exaltation as if it were a phantom. In that day you will cry: all is False."
Friedrich Nietzsche, 1885
"Our Life is shaped by our Mind; We become what we Think. Suffering follows an Evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draw it...Joy follows a Pure thought like a shadow that never leaves." Gautama the Buddha
"When we discover that the truth is already in us, we are all at once our original selves." Zen Master Dogen
"Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrong-doing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean." Aldous Huxley
"The dismal situation waste and wild, a dungeon horrible, on all sides round. As one great furnace flamed, yet from those flames no light, but rather darkness visible served only to discover sights of woe, regions of sorrow, doleful shades, where peace and rest can never dwell, hope never comes. That comes to all; but torture without end still urges, and fiery deluge, fed with ever-burning sulphur unconsumed: such place Eternal Justice had prepared for those rebellious, here their prison ordained in utter darkness, and their portion set as far removed from God and the light of Heaven." John Milton
"...we shall all suffer for what the gods have given us, suffer terribly." Oscar Wilde
"A pessimistic philosophy is by its essence a philosophy of discouragement, and those who don't believe that the world is good are therefore said to be willing to serve tyranny." Albert Camus, 1961
"Man is cruelly wastefulof life when his own safety is endangered, and he is sheltered by impunity; and little mercy is to be expected from him when he feels the sting of the reptile and is conscious of the power to destroy." Washington Irving
Dangers of Ideology "A point of view can be a dangerous luxery when substituted for insight and understanding." John Brunner, Stand on Zanzibar
"...a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial apperrance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason." Thomas Paine, Common Sense
Nature of the gods "It is conceivable that, if reverence for the gods is removed, trust and the social bond between men and the uniquely pre-eminent virtue of justice will disappear." Cicero
From the moment that man submits God to moral judgment, he kills Him in his own heart. And then what is the basis of morality? God is denied in the name of justice, but can the idea of justice...[survive]...without the idea of God? Albert Camus, The Rebel
"It makes no difference what men think of war...War endures. As well ask men what they think of Stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting the ultimate practioner." Cormac McCarthy
"If voting could change the system, it would be illegal." Theodore Adorno
"None are more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they are free." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Practice your knowledge, for knowledge without practice is a body without life." Abu Hanifa
"If you find life bestowing a great blessing on you with its right hand, then its left is sure to be empty. You know why? Because what it gives with the right hand it takes back with its left." Yusuf Al-Qa'id, War in the Land of Eqypt
The Way of Heaven "The Way that can be told of is not the eternal Way; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The Nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth; the Named is the mother of all things. Therefore let there always be non-being so we may see their outcome". Lao Tzu, Tao-te Ching
Dream of the Butterfly "Once I, Chuang Chou, dreamed that I was a butterfly and was happy as a butterfly. I was conscious that I was quite pleased with myself, but I did not know that I was Chou. Suddenly I awoke, and there I was, visibly Chou. I do not know whether it was Chou dreaming that he was a butterfly or the butterfly dreaming that it was Chou". Chuang Tzu
"Throughout history it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered the most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph." Haile Selassi

I'd like to meet:



Niccolo Machiavelli "God save you, gracious audience, since all your graciousness, it seems, depends upon your being entertained."
"We know that life is brief, with no reward but pain, so we desert the fight and give desire reign."
"The man who turns away from pleasure and desire is ignorant of life,of all the strains that tire, of traps that lie in wait, to catch his weary feet; His chosen way will bring misfortune and deceit."
"How happy the man to stupidity born, a gullible credulous, innocent pawn. Unmoved by ambition, untouched by suspicion, he lives his life out."
"This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time."
Once my lover, now my friend. What a cruel thing to pretend. What a cunning way to condescend. Once my lover, now my friend.
Oh, you creep up like the clouds. And you set my soul to ease. Then you let your love abound. And you bring me to my knees.
Oh, its evil, babe, the way you let your grace enrapture me. When, well, you know, Id be insane - To ever let that dirty game recapture me.
Fiona Apple
"I knew that they were my enemies but they didn't know it. They liked each other, they rubbed elbows, they would even have given me a hand, here and there, because they thought I was like them. But if they could have guessed the least bit of the truth, they would have...[killed]...me." Jean-Paul Sartre, Erostratus (1948)
"...she does more miscief in this land than if the plague had entered it, for her charming manner and beauty win the hearts of all who try to love and serve her, but her scorn and brutal frankness drive them to despair. So, they don't know what to say to her, but loudly call her cruel and unkind..." Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra, 1614
"How can you know that her...[voice was]...not of Satan, and she his mouthpiece?-for does not Satan know the secrets of men and use his knowledge for the destruction of their souls?" Mark Twain, 1895
"You know the world delights in lovely things, for men have hearts sweet poetry will win, and when the truth is seasoned in soft rhyme it lurs and leads the most reluctant in, as we brush with honey the brim of a cup, to fool a feverish child to take his medicine: he drinks the bitter juice and cannot tell- but it is a mitake that makes him well."
Torquato Tasso, 1573

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

"And shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord for thee, power hath descended forthfrom thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command. We shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti."

"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated, and scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
Battle Hymn of the Republic
"Mine eyes have seen the orgy of the launching of the sword; He is searching out the hoardings where the stranger's wealth is stored; He hath loosed his fateful lightnings, and with woe and death he scored; His lust is marching on.
I have seen him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps, They have builded him an altar in the Eastern dews and damps; I have read his doomful mission by the dim and flaring lamps-- His night is marching on.
I have read his bandit gospel writ in burnished rows of steel: 'As ye deal with my pretensions, so with you my wrath shall deal; Let the faithless son of Freedom crush the patriot with his heel; Lo, Greed is marching on!'
We have legalized the strumpet and are guiding her retreat; Greed is seeking out commercial souls before his judgment seat; O, be swift, ye clods, to answerhim! Be jubilant my feet! Our God is marching on!
In a sordid slime harmonious, Greed was born in yonder ditch, With a longing in his bosom-and for others' goods an itch- Our god is marcjing on."
Mark Twain (1900)
