One of Cal's favorite quotes is:""The unexamined life is not worth living" -Socrates "There he goes; One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind, never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live; too rare to die." -Hunter S. Thompson "All people dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind, Wake in the morning to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people, For they dream their dreams with open eyes, And make them come true." -D.H. Lawrence "Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." -Steve Paul Jobs "Any great work of art revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of its success is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world - the extent to which it invites you in and lets you breathe its strange, special air." - Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." -George Orwell ‎"However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light." -Stanley Kubrick "A radical is one who speaks the truth" -Charles A. Lindbergh Sr. "You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday; You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity." -Epirucus "To find yourself, think for yourself." -Socrates 469 BC "Groupthink: A mode of thinking that people engage in when they are deeply involved in a cohesive in-group, when the members' striving for unanimity override their motivation to realistically appraise alternative course of action." -Irving Janis "It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas … If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you … On the other hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish the useful ideas from the worthless ones." -Carl Sagan “You have to study and learn so that you can make up your own mind about history and everything else but you can’t make up an empty mind. Stock your mind, stock your mind. It is your house of treasure and no one in the world can interfere with it.” -Angela's Ashes "I believe our only hope for the future, is to adopt a new conception of human ecology. One in which, we start to reconstitute our conception of the richness of human capacity. Our education system has mined our minds, in the way that we strip mined the earth, for a particular commodity, and for the future it wont service. We have to rethink the fundamental principles in which we're educating our children." -Sir Ken Robinson "…what if, in our postmodern world of ordained transgression, in which the marital commitment is perceived as ridiculously out of date, those who cling to it are the true subversives?" -Slavoj Zizek, The Puppet and the Dwarf "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." -Howard Zinn "That we are to stand by the President right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -Theodore Roosevelt "The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -John F. Kennedy “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society.” -Edward Bernays, Father of Public Relations, Propaganda ‎"There are two ways to conquer a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt." - John Adams "Paper is poverty, ..it is only the ghost of money, and not money itself." -Thomas Jefferson "History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance." -James Madison "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies... The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." -Thomas Jefferson “The few who understand the system , will either be so interested from its profits or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class.” -Rothschild Brothers of London, 1863 "The bold efforts the present (central) bank has made to control the Government... are but premonitions of the fait that awaits the American people should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution, or the establishment of another like it." -Andrew Jackson “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes its laws.” -Mayor Amschel Bauer Rothschild “Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce.” -James A. Garfield "This (Federal Reserve) Act establishes the m...Expand for more
ost gigantic trust on Earth. When the President signs this bill, the invisible government by the Monetary Power will be legalized, the people may not know it immediately but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed... The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking bill... From now on, depressions will be scientifically created.” -Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh Sr. 1913 Powers of Congress: "To coin money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures" -United States Constitution -Article 1 Section 8 "Every Congressman, every Senator knows precisely what causes inflation... but can’t support the drastic reforms to stop it (repeal of Federal Reserve Act) because it could cost him his job.” -Robert A. Heinlein "People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election" -Otto von Bismark "The government should create, issue and circulate all the currency and credit needed to satisfy the spending power of the government and the buying power of consumers..... The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of Government, but it is the Government's greatest creative opportunity. By the adoption of these principles, the long-felt want for a uniform medium will be satisfied. The taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest, discounts and exchanges. The financing of all public enterprises, the maintenance of stable government and ordered progress, and the conduct of the Treasury will become matters of practical administration. The people can and will be furnished with a currency as safe as their own government. Money will cease to be the master and become the servant of humanity. Democracy will rise superior to the money power." -Abraham Lincoln, concerning the issuance of the Greenback “By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 301 of the title 3 of the United States Code, it is ordered as follows: Section 1. Executive order No. 10289 of September 19, 1951, as amended, is hereby further amended-By adding at the end of paragraph 1 thereof the following subparagraph: The authority vested in the President by paragraph (b) of section 43 of the (Emergency Banking) Act of May 12, 1933, as amended (31 U.S.C.821(b)), to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury not then held for redemption of any outstanding silver certificates, to prescribe the denomination of such silver certificates, and TO COIN standard silver dollars and subsidiary silver currency for their redemption.” Executive Order 11110 -John F. Kennedy The White House, June 4, 1963 "Voting is easy and marginally useful, but it is a poor substitute for democracy, which requires direct action by concerned citizens." -Howard Zinn "Just your local friendly neighborhood confederate alchemist doin' his best to throw another wrench into the spokes of the NWO." -Constitutional Bob "Without free speech no search for truth is possible... no discovery of truth is useful... Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day, but the denial slays the life of the people, and entombs the hope of the race." -Charles Bradlaugh "All people everywhere should have free energy sources." [...] "Electric Power is everywhere present in unlimited quantities and can drive the world's machinery without the need for coal, oil, or gas." [...] "He will be able to call up... and talk with any telephone subscriber in the world. It will only be necessary to carry an inexpensive instrument not bigger than a watch, which will enable its bearer to hear anywhere on sea or land for distances of thousands of miles. One may listen or transmit speech or song to the uttermost parts of the world." [...] "via technology that can fit in one's coat pocket." -Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) "This earth will no longer be raped & pillaged by the abomination of all corporations For our autonomy is from our humility in christ Because it was not The dollar symbol that died on the cross for us" "If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal." -John Lennon "Christianity says that you should love your enemy. It certainly doesn't say that you should vaporize his children." -Carl Sagan "Courage is often nothing more than the power to let go of the familiar." -C. S. Lewis "Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for you souls." -Jesus Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. -Thomas Jefferson "A slave obeys, A man chooses" -Andrew Ryan "Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it." -John Lennon "We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all." -Andrew (The Breakfast Club) "Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I'm being repressed!" -Dennis (Monty Python and the Holy Grail) "Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time." -Edward Bernays "I am Caleb's parent. I condone his hairstyle even in the face of dissent and oppression." -Gene Trujillo "Truth or happiness, never both." -Cal Lightman (Tim Roth) At the risk of being accused of not being serious, I came up with this definition: "Kataskeographobia" kataskevazo "κατασκευάζω" (fabricate) and graphia "γράψιμο" (writing) an intense fear that what is being heard, seen or presented is a highly condensed orchestration of information intended to compromise an individual and/or society's standards and deceitfully persuade them away from a previously accepted principle of time-tested truth. The goal of a Kataskeographer(s) is to justify lesser principles and/or by means of promoting the facade of an idea as actual truth ie; safety, freedom, liberty, fear, nationalism, change, et cetera. Ria: What am I suppose to believe about you? Cal: [shrugging] You can believe whatever you want; It's what everybody else does. Tina: You look just like my dad when he was your age.. Cal: Oh ya? You have a picture? Who's your dad? Tina: Leon Russell Evey: Are you like a crazy person? 
V: I’m quite sure they will say so. "Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today" -James Dean".
