One of Toni's favorite quotes is:""I am not what I think I am and I am not what you think I am; I am what I think that you think I am." ~Cooley People pay for what they do and more for what they are and they pay simply by the lives they lead. ~James Baldwin A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on the level with a man who says he is a poached egg - or he would be the devil of hell. You must take your choice. Either this was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. ~C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity "Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true." ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr "I got thinkin’ how we was holy when we was one thing, an’ mankin’ was holy when it was one thing. An’ it on’y got unholy when one mis’able little fella got the bit in his teeth an’ run off his own way, kickin’ an’ draggin’ an’ fightin’. Fella like that bust the holi-ness. But when they’re all workin’ together, not one fella for another fella, but one fella kind of harnessed to the whole shebang—that’s right, that’s holy." ~Jim Casey [Steinbeck] War is Peace Freedom is Slavery Ignorance is Strength ~ Orwell “All that is needed for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing”.

here is no ground for believing life has any purpose, meaning, or value - only the happenstance from which it arises and the way in which it happens to be. Without divine revelation, there is no “ought” or standard to tell us how we should live our lives or conduct civil policy - nothing absolute that really exists and embodies the perfect ideal. ~ Einstein "If we believe in the infallibility of knowledge, isn't that just faith disguised?" ~ insp by Zamaytan "The problem with society is that it make heroes out of villians." “We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men [and women].” ~ Orwell "Thought is free." ~ Shakespeare "Never wildly gesticulate with a taco in your hand." ~Cesar Romero "Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted." ~Martin Luther King, Jr. "Be nice to people on your way up because you might meet them on your way down." ~Jimmy Durante "There are no grades of vanity, there are only grades of ability in concealing it." ~Mark Twain "Be the change you wish to see in the world." ~Gandhi "Imagination is more important than knowledge." ~Albert Einstein "Nothing in the world is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result." ~Winston Churchill "If my husband ever met a woman on the street who looked like the women in his paintings, he would faint." ~Mrs. Pablo Picasso "Everyone is a prisoner of his/her own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them." ~Edward R Murrow "We are living in a great and mysterious story, and the great mystery is that we don't understand where we are in the story." ~CS Lewis "There's nothing like the passage of time to make the world's smartest people look like complete idiots." "Guilt and true courage are incompatible." "The things that will destroy us are: Politics without principles; Pleasure without conscience; Wealth without knowledge; Knowledge without character; Business without morality; Science without humanity; and Worship without sacrifice." ~Gandhi "In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous." ~Aristotle ""Long live the sun, may the darkness be hidden." ~ Alexander Pushkin".
