    You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.

    These are relatively recent quotes, dating back to the early 1990s. But they're so magnificent I feel they belong here.

    ~~~

    Mountains are not stadiums where I satisfy my ambitions to achieve. They are cathedrals, grand and pure, the houses of my religion. I approach them as any human goes to worship. On their altars, I strive to perfect myself physically and spiritually. In their presence, I attempt to understand my life, to exorcise vanity, greed, and fear. In the mountains, I celebrate creation, for on each journey, I am reborn.

    Honestly, I do not experience fear in the mountains. On the contrary, I feel my shoulders straightening, squaring, like the birds as they straighten their wings. I enjoy the freedom and the altitude. It is only when I return to life below that I feel the world's weight on my shoulders.
    Anatoli Boukreev, 1958—1997, one of the greatest Russian mountaineers.

    A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, ‘You are mad; you are not like us." - St. Anthony

    Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well warmed, and well-fed - Herman Melville

    "Breathing comes first, everything else can wait "

    A typically wise & witty teaching, that my very good friend & mentor, Stephen Russell ( Barefoot Doctor) often said. Meaning conscious, proper breathing of course.
    It will be 5 years in a couple of days since he passed, I & many others, I dare say, still miss him.

    We were hit with the genocidal cult of the Globalists and its attendant Woke Mind Virus. Much of the world has been hit by Communism. The Middle East was hit by Wahhabism. All of these PSYOPS and kinetic wars are elaborate human control mechanisms.

    When we get out of the glass bottles of our ego,
    and when we escape like squirrels turning in the
    cages of our personality
    and get into the forests again,
    we shall shiver with cold and fright
    but things will happen to us
    so that we don't know ourselves.
    Cool, unlying life will rush in,
    and passion will make our bodies taut with power,
    we shall stamp our feet with new power
    and old things will fall down,
    we shall laugh, and institutions will curl up like
    burnt paper.

    "When You Are Old"

    WHEN you are old and grey and full of sleep,
    And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
    And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
    Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
    How many loved your moments of glad grace,
    And loved your beauty with love false or true,
    But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
    And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
    And bending down beside the glowing bars,
    Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
    And paced upon the mountains overhead
    And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
    ~W.B. Yeats
