Paul's likely last letter

Suffering produces endurance; endurance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint. (Romans 5:1-5 in the Newer Testament part of the Bible)

Chris Hedges

Honorable Paul Hellyer

UFOs are as real as the airplanes flying overhead.

José Mujica

I don’t feel poor. Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle, and always want more and more.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

This is a team job, and you can't sit there and be a patient and wait for somebody else to create an effect on you.

Jeanne de Salzmann

At each moment there is negation of whatever is affirmed, sometimes with violence. Yet without this negation we might not have the possibility to evolve.

Alan Watts

Advice? I don’t have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you’re writing, you’re a writer. Write like you’re a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there’s no chance for a pardon. Write like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you’ve got just one last thing to say, like you’re a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God’s sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone.

Arno Gruen

If people base their identity on identifying with authority, freedom causes anxiety. They must then conceal the victim in themselves by resorting to violence against others.

The Gospel of Thomas

When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one then you will enter the Kingdom.

H.L. Mencken

The essence of science is that it is always willing to abandon a given idea, however fundamental it may seem to be, for a better one; the essence of theology is that it holds its truths to be eternal and immutable.

Josiah Quincy

Blandishments will not fascinate us, nor will threats of a "halter" intimidate. For, under God, we are determined that wheresoever, whensoever, or howsoever we shall be called to make our exit, we will die free men.

Michael Talbot

Our brains mathematically construct objective reality by interpreting frequencies that are ultimately projections from another dimension, a deeper order of existence that is beyond both space and time.

Nikola Tesla

The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.

Marianne Williamson

No conventional therapy can release us from a deep and abiding psychic pain. Through prayer we find what we cannot find elsewhere: a peace that is not of this world.

Dr Vandana Shiva

Just as we got rid of slavery, we've got to get rid of slavery of life, through patents on seeds. We have a higher duty to protect life on earth, to protect biodiversity and to pass on living seeds to our future.

Voltaire

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.

Marshall McLuhan

All media are extensions of some human faculty--psychic or physical.

OSHO

Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretense. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.

Jon Rappoport

The home audience is terrified of being left out of the party.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

When I see I am nothing, that is wisdom. When I see I am everything, that is love. My life is a movement between these two.
