Sign the Pledge Against Animal Testing
'Well, yes, and here we go again....' - Hunter S Thompson.
It is in vain to hope to please all alike. Let a man stand with his face in what direction he will, he must necessarily turn his back on one half of the world. -George Dennison Prentice
"To a man whose mind is free there is something even more intolerable in the sufferings of animals than in the sufferings of man. For with the latter it is at least admitted that suffering is evil and that the man who causes it is a criminal. But thousands of animals are uselessly butchered every day without a shadow of remorse. If any man were to refer to it, he would be thought ridiculous. And that is the unpardonable crime". ~Romain Rolland, Nobel Prize 1915
"We have enslaved the rest of animal creation and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form." - William Ralph Inge
"The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men." - Leonardo da Vinci.
"If a group of beings from another planet were to land on Earth -- beings who considered themselves as superior to you as you feel yourself to be to other animals -- would you concede them the rights over you that you assume over other animals?" - George Bernard Shaw, playwright, Nobel Prize 1925
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances of survival for life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." - Albert Einstein, physicist, Nobel Prize 1921
And I have no compass And I have no map And I have no reasons No reasons to get backAnd I have no religion And I don't know what's what And I don't know the limit The limit of what we've got - U2
Over the green hills and into the sun, that's where I feel I ought to be goin', blue sky above me and green earth below, don't even matter which way I go.
The trees hold their arms out to catch what life gives, but the people try to snatch all there is, they can have all I own. I don't need anything, I'll just follow the river, and see what it brings.
I need to be free where the air is clean, and the sparking river is cool on my skin, When the sun shines I'll follow it's glow, And I won't stop moving till it's sinking low - Free.
'I cheated myself, Like I knew I would, I told you, I was trouble, You know that I'm no good' - Amy Winehouse.
'Theres a lot to learn, from wasting time' - Neil Young.
'Stop...You ruined all my memories' - Kristin Hersh.
'I will still be dreaming, I have no thought of time, For who knows where the time goes' - Sandy Denny.
'I want you as the dream, Not the reality, This is what I need, This is where I want to be, But I know that this will never be mine' - Kate Bush.
'And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you, No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. - Pink Floyd.
“It [abstract art] should be enjoyed just as music is enjoyed – after a while you may like it or you may not.†- Jackson Pollock.
“Silence is so accurate.†- Mark Rothko.
“There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with.†- Harry Crews.
“Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether.†- Hunter.S.Thompson.
“I am more afraid of my own heart than the Pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great Pope, Self.†- Martin Luther.
“Why should we take advice on sex from the pope? If he knows anything about it, he shouldn't!†- George Bernard Shaw.
“When I was a child, my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general. If you become a monk you'll end up as the pope.' Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.†- Pablo Picasso.
“I read that I was in bed with her, which is a ton of shit. I have met her and it went like this: 'How do you do?' 'Hello, how are you?' Now when anyone asks about my affair with Madonna I say no, wrong - it was the Pope. He swept me off my feet.†- Johnny Depp.
“It often happens that I wake up at night and begin to think about a serious problem and decide I must tell the Pope about it. Then I wake up completely and remember that I am the Pope.†- Pope John Paul XXIII.
“I admire the Pope. I have a lot of respect for anyone who can tour without an album.†- Rita Rudner.
“I love the Pope, I love seeing him in his Pope-Mobile, his three feet of bullet proof plexi-glass. That's faith in action folks! You know he's got God on his side.†- Bill Hicks.
“I'm sickened by all religions. Religion has divided people. I don't think there's any difference between the pope wearing a large hat and parading around with a smoking purse and an African painting his face white and praying to a rock.†- Howard Stern.
"Young people are threatened... by the evil use of advertising techniques that stimulate the natural inclination to avoid hard work by promising the immediate satisfaction of every desire." - Pope John Paul II
"No. It's a mystery. A man's at odds to know his mind cause his mind is aught he has to know it with. He can know his heart, but he dont want to. Rightly so. Best not to look in there. It aint the heart of a creature that is bound in the way that God has set for it. You can find meanness in the least of creatures, but when God made man the devil was at his elbow. A creature that can do anything. Make a machine. And a machine to make the machine. And evil that can run itself a thousand years, no need to tend it. You believe that?"
"I dont know."
"Believe that."
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
“There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.†- Hunter.S.Thompson.
Hey, Baby I just got back from town, where the bribes are paid, Honey, they turned my offer down, they say the deal's already made, So now Igotta stand and watch, while it all comes down, and the buzzards and the hawks, and the judges and the mob circle around Now if I were the queen of all the world, I would 90 in chains just to see you free, of the ropes that bind you and the role you play, and the pride that hooks you while the big ones get away, Love junkies wanna change the world: it quickly stays the same, Money junkies hire all the smart ones, Power junkies run the game, One step at a time, Polarity Hill, If the bad guys don't get you Baby then the good guys will, With angels on the take, and the gangsters in the yard, Hey don't the wars come easy Hey don't the peace come hard. Now if I had a way to reach the sky, I'd grab that crescent moon, wield it like a knife, save you from the lies. From the ropes that bind you, and the role you play, and the game that hooks you while the big ones get away. - The big ones get away - Buffy Sainte Marie.
