I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.
- John Steinbeck
Whenever there are in any country uncultivated land and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right. The earth is given as common stock for men to labor and live on.... The small landowners are the most precious part of the State.
- Thomas Jefferson
Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.
- Michael Pollan
We can have a democracy or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few. We cannot have both.
- Louis Brandeis, former US Supreme Court Justice
A person who is a master in the art of living makes little distinction between their work and their play, their labor and their leisure, their mind and their body, their education and their recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which and simply pursue their vision of excellence and grace, whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing. To them they are always doing both.
- Lawrence Pearsell Jack
To let each impression and each germ of a feeling come to completion wholly in itself, in the dark, in the inexpressible, the unconscious, beyond the reach of one's own intelligence, and await with deep humility and patience the birth-hour of a new clarity: that alone is living the artist's life: in understanding as in creating.
- Rainer Maria Rilke
Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
- Benjamin Franklin
If the words "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on.
- Terence McKenna
When a middle-class income no longer buys a middle-class life, things ...Expand for more
that rarely or never make one rich become harder and harder to pursue. When it comes to the distribution of wealth, you're freer when its flatter.
- Daniel Brook, The Trap
You know what, Jake? This is really livin'!
- Rick Reynolds
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.
- Albert Einstein
If you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it'll spread over into the rest of your life. It'll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.
- Bruce Lee
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
- Arthur C. Clarke
Hi, my name is Randall. I like candlelight dinners and long walks on the beach. When I say long walks on the beach, I mean LONG walks on the beach. I've met people through these services who claim to like long walks on the beach. But we'll be out there barely an hour before they start in with "I'm tired" and "Don't you think its time we head back?" BRING A TENT.

My mom once said she loved me just the way I am
so I wonder what would happen if I became a clam
if her son was grey and grimy, slippery and slimy
an oversized hors d'oeuvre - would mom still have the nerve?
- Calvin & Hobbes
Man muà noch Chaos in sich haben um einen tanzenden stern gebären zu können.
One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
- Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the War Room!
- Dr. Strangelove
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed.
- Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
If you wanted to create an education environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you probably would design something like a classroom. If you wanted to create a business environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you probably would design something like a cubicle. And if you wanted to change things, you might have to tear down both and start over.
- John Medina
He's been camped out on the desert for three months. Talking to cactus. What's he know about what people wanna see on the screen! I drive on the freeway every day. I swallow the smog. I watch the news in color. I shop in the Safeway. I'm the one who's in touch, not him!
- Austin, True West by Sam Shepard".
