I no longer see Descartes' statement as arbitrary. It is representative of our culture's narcissism. This narcissism leads to a disturbing disrespect for direct experience and a negation of the body. Derrick Jensen
Slow down you're doing fine. You can't be everything you want to be. Before your time. Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight. Too bad but it's the life you lead. You're so ahead of yourself. That you forfeit what you need. Though you can see when you're wrong Billy Joel
I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being good all the time. That would be hypocrisy. Oscar Wilde
E. E. Cummings quote: "Seeker Of Truthseeker of truthfollow no pathall paths lead..."

A lot of blood has gone under the bridge since then, and we have all learned a hell of a lot about the realities of Politics in America. Even the politicians have learned? but, as usual, the politicians are much slower than the people they want to lead. Hunter S. Thompson
As she uttered the words of the prayer, she glanced up at him as if he were God Himself. He watched her with growing pleasure. In front of him was kneeling the directress, being humiliated by a subordinate; in front of him a naked revolutionary was being humiliated by prayer; in front of him a praying lady was being humiliated by her nakedness. This threefold image of degradation intoxicated him and something unexpected suddenly happened: his body revoked its passive resistance. Edward was... Milan Kundera

Terry Prachett
The young, free to act on their initiative, can lead their elders in the direction of the unknown... The children, the young, must ask the questions that we would never think to ask, but enough trust must be re-established so that the elders will be permitted to work with them on the answers. Margaret Mead
