The following quotations are
meaningful to me:
"We must be the change we wish to see in the world." ~ Mahatma Ghandi
“The worst crime is faking it†~ Kurt Cobain
"Compassion is the ultimate and most meaningful embodiment of emotional
maturity. It is through compassion that a person achieves the highest peak and
deepest reach in his or her search for self-fulfillment." ~ Arthur Jersild
"There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain
and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness." ~ Dalai Lama
"Science needs to be released from the lab into the culture." ~ Richard Dawkins
"No man ever looks at the world with pristine eyes. He sees it edited by a definite set of customs and institutions and ways of thinking." ~ Ruth Benedict
"Anthropology is the most humanistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the humanities." ~ Alfred L. Kroeber
"That which does not kill us makes us stronger." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
"Everybody's worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there's a really easy way:
stop participating in it." ~ Noam Chomsky
"What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which
is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life. That art is
something which is specialized or which is done by experts who are artists. But
couldn't everyone's life become a work of art? Why should the lamp or the house
be an art object, but not our life?" ~ Michel Foucault
