The following quotes represent my ideal not my real.
"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in
abundance, an obsequious attendance, but sincerity and
truth were not; and I went away hungry from the
inhospitable board. The hospitality was as cold as the ices."
-Henry David Thoreau
Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer.
"I decided that in our modern society truths did not matter.
The Illusion of truth, the appearance of
truth,indeed, let us say the application of the
techniques of fiction playing like searchlights upon a
fancied facade of truth, would entirely suffice"
-Richard Condon

“Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals
and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become
the momentary masters of a dot†-Carl Sagan
"And you think you have to
Want more than you need
Until you have it all you won't be free
Society
You're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely
Without me
When you want more then you have
You think you need
And when you think more then you want
Your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find bigger place
Cause when you have
More then you think
You need more space
Society
Crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely
Without me
There's those thinking more less
Less is more
But if less is more
How you keepin' score?
Means for every point you make
Your level drops
Kinda like your startin' from the top
And you can't do that
...
Society
Have mercy on me
Hope your not angry
If I disagree"

"i can see this about america
the mind control is steep here, man
the myopia is deep here
and behold
those that try to expose the reality
who really try to realize democracy
are shot with rubber bullets and gassed off the streets
while the global power brokers are kept clean and discrete"

"The world is like a ride at an amusement park. And when
you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's
how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down
and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's
very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for
a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time,
and they begin to question: Is this real, or is this just a
ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back
to us, they say, "Hey – don't worry, don't be afraid ever,
because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people.
"Shut him up. We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him
up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank
account and my family. This just has to be real." It's just a ride.
But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that,
you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok.
But it doesn't matter, because – it's just a ride.
And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a
choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money.
A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes
of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors,
buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love
instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to
change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take
all that money we spend on weapons and defenses
each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing
and educating the poor of the world, which it would
pay for many times over, not one human being
excluded, and we could explore space, together, both
inner and outer, forever, in peace."

"If George Washington didn't get independence for this
country nonviolently, and if Patrick Henry didn't come up
with a nonviolent statement, and you taught me to look up
to them as patriots and heroes, then it's time for you to realize that I've learned your books well."
-Malcolm X
"The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists."
-J. Edgar Hoover
