Unyielding as they were unconventional, these visionaries helped shape a world not yet born. And these free thinkers were not part of the collective thought of mediocrity, but were men and women who flew in the face of tradition- and in doing so, paved the way for change, for progress, and for liberty. Men and women who fervently believed in a good and righteous cause, never yielding to fold into the middle, they rose against insurmountable odds to speak their passion, and stir a society of conscience.'

“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” Native American Proverb."Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder, 'Why,why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand." Kurt Vonnegut."Beauty and vitality are gifts from nature for those who live by her laws" Da Vinci."Wisdom begins with the recognition of one's own ignorance" Socrates.

"Cynic -A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision." A.Bierce.

"We are like dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants... We can see more than they, and things at a greater distance; but not by virtue of any sharpness on sight on our part, or any physical distinction, but because we are carried high and raised up by their giant size." Bernard of Chartres via John of Salisbury.

"It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble. An animal perfectly in harmony with its environment is a perfect mechanism. Nature never appeals to intelligence until habit and instinct are useless. There is no intelligence where there is no change and no need of change. Only those animals partake of intelligence that have to meet a huge variety of needs and dangers." H.G.Wells.

"If we are to discuss this question of a fundamental change in ourselves and therefore in the world, and in this change to awaken a certain vision, and enthusiasm, a zeal, a faith, a hope, a certainty which will give us the necessary impetus for action--if we are to understand that, isn't it necessary to go into this question of consciousness?" J.Krishnamurti.

''Nothing is more revolting than the majority; for it consists of few vigorous predecessors, of knaves who accommodate themselves, of weak people who assimilate themselves, and the mass that toddles after them without knowing in the least what it wants." Goethe.

"Man is ignorant of the nature of his own being and powers. Even his idea of his limitations is based on experience of the past, and every step in his progress extends his empire. There is therefore no reason to assign theoretical limits to what he may be, or what he may do." Aleister Crowley.

"We are unconscious of our minds. Our minds are not unconscious. Our minds are conscious of us. Ask yourself who and what is it that dreams our dreams. Our unconscious minds? The Dreamer who dreams our dreams knows far more of us than we know of it. It is only from a remarkable position of alienation that the source of life, the fountain of life, is experienced as the It. The mind of which we are unaware is aware of us." R.D. Laing."In a Democracy, the people get the government they deserve..." Alexis de Tocqueville."Corporation - An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." A. Bierce.

"We allow the government, whether it be political or spiritual, to get away with it and so it rests on our authority. This is true also of God. If you believe in God-that God is good, or that God is God at all-it is your opinion. And so God derives from you, and therefore this thought has some very peculiar implications with regard to the government of the universe." Alan Watts.

"Truth is a pathless land. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection." Krishnamurti.

"Faith is a state of openness or trust. To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float. And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on. In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be." Alan Watts.

"He who controls history, controls the present. He who controls the present, controls history." George Orwell.

"Power does not corrupt man; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power. " George Bernard Shaw.

"If you look at all the religions and all the different kinds of practices that people are doing in the same way- that you look at different kinds of vegetables and different kinds of flowers and insects and butterflies, you will see that while yogis are assuming one perspective and Baptists are assuming another, what they are all really doing is a different kind of dance- and you can accept this, and look at it with absolute amazement, and say, 'Wow. look at all these different performances this universe is doing.' If you do this, you tend to stop griping and arguing about which is the right one..." Alan Watts."But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful! They are people of bad race and lineage; out of their countenances peer the hangman and the sleuth-hound. Distrust all those who talk much of their justice! Verily, in their souls not only honey is lacking. And when they call themselves 'the good and just,' forget not, that for them to be Pharisees, nothing is lacking but- power!" Nietzsche."I think that an objective analysis of events that are taking place on this earth today points towards some type of ultimate showdown. You can call it political showdown, or even a showdown between the economic systems that exist on this earth which almost boil down along racial lines. I do believe that there will be a clash between East and West. I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those that do the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the systems of exploitation." Malcolm X.

"What then is truth? A movable host of metaphors, metonymies, and anthropomorphisms; in short, a sum of human relations which have been poetically and rhetorically intensified, transferred, and embellished, and which, after long usage, seem to a people to be fixed, canonical, and binding. Truths are illusions which we have forgotten are illusions- they are metaphors that have become worn out and have been drained of sensuous force, coins which have lost their embossing and are now considered as metal and no longer as coins." Nietzsche.

"The greatest way of protecting something is to deny it's very existence" Credo Mutwa.

"Thus it is said that one who knows the enemy and knows himself will not be endangered in a hundred engagements. One who does not know the enemy, but knows himself will sometimes be victorious, sometimes met with defeat. One who knows neither the enemy nor himself with invariably be defeated in every engagement." Sun Tzu- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
