    Then I despair... I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been murderers and tyrants, and for a time they can seem invincible. But in the end they always fall. Think of it always.

    Every man is a damn fool for at least 5 minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit - Elbert Hubbard

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice.

    gonna have to start a new "sub thread" for "paraphrased quotes":

    Papa Bush - If the people knew what we were really doing to them they would hang us from the nearest tree ...

    A few quotes from my favourite French Poet:

    “I have stretched ropes from steeple to steeple; garlands from window to window; golden chains from star to star, and I dance.”

    “Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.”

    “The Sun, the hearth of affection and life, pours burning love on the delighted earth.”

    “Life is the farce which everyone has to perform.”

    “I believe that I am in hell, therefore I am there.”

    “And again: No more gods! no more gods! Man is King, Man is God! - But the great Faith is Love!”

    “What a life! True life is elsewhere. We are not in the world.”

    “In the dawn, armed with a burning patience, we shall enter the splendid Cities.”

    “Genius is the recovery of childhood at will.”

    Arthur Rimbaud 1854 - 1891

    Quote "In retrospect, there would be little motivation even for malevolent extraterrestrials to attack the Earth;
    perhaps, after a preliminary survey, they might decide it is more expedient just to be patient for a little while and wait for us to self-destruct."

    Quote If one inspired innocent loving soaring dreamer
    believes in a universe of joy and light and perfect being,
    and if she's wrong, and dies...
    it's not the dreamer who's been foolish,
    but the universe.
