    Just thought of this quote from Hafiz that I really like:

    "The small man builds cages for everyone he knows while the sage, who has to duck his head when the moon is low, keeps dropping keys all night long for the beautiful rowdy prisoners"

    Not sure where I found this, perhaps a book...

    “Choose Love rather than Hope. Because the expression of Hope can be quite static. The expression of Love is creative and moving; it promotes change. Hope tends to look outside for help and waits; Love looks within and finds the power of Self.”
    A million galaxies are a little foam on that shoreless sea. ~ Rumi

    The sun will stand as your best man
    And whistle

    When you have found the courage
    To marry forgiveness,

    When you have found the courage
    To marry
    Love.

    Writer Charles Bukowski

    “Find what you love and let it kill you.”

    “How the hell could a person enjoy being awakened at 6:30AM, by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, ****, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?”

    “We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that death will tremble to take us.”

    “If I stop writing I am dead. And that’s the only way I’ll stop: dead.”

    “If you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence.”

    “Some people never go crazy, What truly horrible lives they must live.”

    “If you’re losing your soul and you know it, then you’ve still got a soul left to lose.”

    “People are strange: they are constantly angered by trivial things, but on a major matter like totally wasting their lives, they hardly seem to notice.”

    “Almost everybody is born a genius and buried an idiot.”

    “Bad taste creates many more millionaires than good taste.”

    “Sex is kicking death in the ass while singing.”

    "If the media will show us airplanes disappearing into towers on 9/11--they'll show us ANYTHING and expect us to believe it."

    “You'll have a good, secure life when being alive means more to you than security, love more than money, your freedom more than public or partisan opinion… when you let yourself be guided by the thoughts of great sages and no longer by the crimes of great warriors … when you pay the men and women who teach your children better than the politicians; when truths inspire you and empty formulas repel you; when you communicate with your fellow workers in foreign countries directly, and no longer through diplomats...”
    ― Wilhelm Reich, Listen, Little Man!

    “I know that what you call 'God' really exists, but not in the form you think; God is primal cosmic energy, the love in your body, your integrity, and your perception of the nature in you and outside of you.”
    ― Wilhelm Reich, Listen, Little Man!

    “You have no sense of your true duty, which is to be a man and preserve humanity. You imitate wise men so badly and bandits so well. Your movies and radio programs are full of murder.”
    ― Wilhelm Reich, Listen, Little Man!

    “Mistaking insolence for freedom has always been the hallmark of the slave.”
    ― Wilhelm Reich, Listen, Little Man!

    “The less he understands something, the more firmly he believes in it.”
    ― Wilhelm Reich, Listen, Little Man!

    “The pleasure of living and the pleasure of the orgasm are identical. Extreme orgasm anxiety forms the basis of the general fear of life.”
