Here are a few words from some of my influences.
"Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind." -Bertrand Russell
"If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair." -C.S. Lewis
"Better to illuminate than merely to shine, to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate." -Saint Thomas Aquinas
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed at the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream. Discover." -Samuel Clemens
“It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.” -Ram Dass
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art, and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." -Albert Einstein
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” -Theodor Geisel
"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." -T.E. Lawerence
"The power of imagination makes us infinite." -John Muir
"It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are... than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise." -Henry David Thoreau
"The uncertainty of our times is no reason to be certain about hopelessness." -Vandana Shiva
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." -Margaret Mead
"A radical inner transformation and rise to a new level of consciousness might be the only real hope we have in the current global crisis brought on by the dominance of the Western mechanistic paradigm." -Stanislav Grof
"Enlightenment is any experience of expanding our consciousness beyond its present limits. We could also say that perfect enlightenment is realizing that we have no limits at all, and that the entire universe is alive." -Thaddeus Golas
"Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions." -Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
"...we have come to realise that for most men the right to learn is curtailed by the obligation to attend school" -Ivan Illich
"Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is." -Isaac Asimov
"The most important thing that parents can teach their children is how to get along without them." - Frank A. Clark
"Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available." -Pearl Buck

Heroes:

are noble.
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. Before enlightenment - chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment - chop wood, carry water. If you understand, things are just as they are... if you do not understand, things are just as they are.

If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000. The rate in Washington D.C is 80.6 per 100,000. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq...Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington!
"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent."
"Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day." -Thomas Jefferson
"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."
"Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness." -Martin Luther King, Jr.
"As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves."
"Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth." -Mohandas Gandhi
"I answered that one learns to live, not by hearing of other lives, but by living; for words are infinitely less important than acts."
"Love and hate are not opposites. The opposite of love is indifference." -A.S. Neill
"I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not."
"Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
cause they dont have any feelings"
-Kurt Cobain
