J. Michael Straczynski

Sanity is only that which is within the frame of reference of conventional thought. Erich Fromm
The use and threat of force, when world peace is not in danger, are no longer valid frames of reference for achieving the ends sought today by sovereign nations. Carlos Salinas
The process of receiving information for me is seeing, hearing, and feeling their energy in my frame of reference. That doesn't mean I see the individual, unfortunately. John Edward
...in order for this to happen, your entire frame of reference will have to change, and you will be forced to surrender many things that you now scarcely know you have. James Baldwin
Our solution on 'The Simpsons' is to do jokes that people who have an education, or some frame of reference, can get. And for the ones who don't, it doesn't matter, because we have Homer banging his head and saying, 'D'oh!' Matt Groening
Karl Von Clausewitz quote: "Principles and rules are intended to provide a thinking man..."
