In this internal storm and outward tide
We hear a promise, hard to understand:
From the compulsion that all creatures binds,
Who overcomes himself, his freedom finds.
Nothing is more revolting than the majority;
for it consists of few vigorous predecessors,
of knaves who accommodate themselves,
of weak people who assimilate themselves,
and the mass that toddles after them 
without knowing the least what it wants.
by: Johann von Goethe


Self-observation brings man to the realization of the necessity

by: George Gurdjieff

constantly and intelligently on the spot can hope to govern 
themselves effectively by democratic procedures. A society, 
most of whose members spend a great part of their time, not on the spot, 
not here and now and in the calculable future, but somewhere else, 
in the irrelevant other worlds of sport and soap opera, 
of mythology and metaphysical fantasy, will find it hard to resist
the encroachments of those who would manipulate and control it." 
by: Aldous Huxley,


Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

"Through his power to survey his life, man can transcend the immediate events
which determine him. Whether he has tuberculosis or is a slave like the 
Roman philosopher Epictetus or a prisoner condemned to death,
he can still in his freedom choose how he will relate to these facts.
And how he relates to a merciless realistic fact like death 
can be more important for him than the fact of death itself. "
by: Rollo May


"You cannot separate the just from the unjust and the good from the wicked;
For they stand together before the face of the sun even as
the black thread and the white are woven together.
And when the black thread breaks, the weaver shall look into the whole cloth,
and he shall examine the loom also."
by: Kahlil Gibran,The Prophet


"There can be no justice when laws are absolute. 
Life itself is an exercise in exceptions."
by: Jean-Luc Picard


For one human being to love another:
