God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is. If you awaken from this illusion, and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death - or shall I say, death implies life - you can conceive yourself. - Alan Watts
"The only reason I'm in fashion is to destroy the word "conformity". Nothing's interesting to me unless it's got that element." Vivienne Westwood
In the penetrating words of Bill Hicks: All we have to do is make one decisive act and we can rid the world of all of our enemies. Here goes. You know all that money we spend on defense and nuclear weapons every year - TRILLIONS of dollars. Instead, if we spent that money feeding and clothing the poor of the world - which it WOULD pay for, many times over, not one human being excluded, NOT ONE - we could as a race explore outer space together in peace forever.
"if the world could remain within a frame like a painting on a wall, then I think we’d see the beauty and we’d stand staring in awe" - Conor Mullen Oberst
This above all:
To thine own Self be true,
and it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false
to any man.
- Polonius
... many people ask what are the Beatles? Why Beatles? Ugh, Beatles how did the name arrive? So we will tell you. It came in a vision - a man appeared on a Flaming Pie and said unto them 'From this day on you are Beatles with an A'. 'Thankyou, Mister Man,' they said, thanking him...
"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." - Soren Kierkegaard
The more one talks, the less the words mean. - Anna Karina
to be curious about that which is not my
concern, while I am still in ignorance of my own self, would be ridiculous. - Socrates
paranoia is faith in a hidden order behind the visible
You know, I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just going to ask where they're going and hook up with 'em later. - Mitch Hedberg
you know the world will still be here, even after we disappear. up in the sky, beyond the clouds, past the moon, the sun's a burning sphere of gigantic size, it burns all the time. - Reichelt
Man can never be whole, well or wise without a vision of the unity which expresses itself as diversity.
You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us,
And the world will live as one
What we call "I" is just a swinging door which moves when we inhale and when we exhale - Shunryu Suzuki Roshi
