True revolution comes from true revulsion; when things get bad enough the kitten will kill the lion. Charles Bukowski
True character arises from a deeper well than religion. It is the internalization of moral principles of a society, augmented by those tenets personally chosen by the individual, strong enough to endure through trials of solitude and adversity. The principles are fitted together into what we call integrity, literally the integrated self, wherein personal decisions feel good and true. Character is in turn the enduring source of virtue. It stands by itself and excites admiration in others. E. O. Wilson
Edgar Allan Poe quote: "Enough," he said; "the cough is a mere nothing; it will not..."
Enough," he said; "the cough is a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough." "True - true," I replied; Edgar Allan Poe

Wendell Berry
