Mohamad Bazzi:  

of his home and yours; shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is... the harbinger of death." --from the Sacred Scrolls, set down by the greatest ape of all, the Law Giver; 29th scroll, 6th verse. (Planet of the Apes, original film) "To be free... your will for freedom is within yourself. For freedom is not issued through a proclamation; and freedom is not given. Rather, it is exactly as a spring that erupts from the depths of the Earth and manifests itself. For when a spring erupts, it does not ask for permission from this or that; and it does not consider any objections from a piece of barren land here, or a piece of fertile land there. A spring gives, because giving is the secret that is within the identity of springs. And the Sun gives light and warmth and heat and life, because that is its secret. And the human being, at the core of his humanity, is represented by his freedom. The freedom to say "No" when "No" is at the basis of your thought, even if the world is saying "Yes." And to say "Yes" when "Yes" is at the basis of your thought, even when the entire world screams "No." It is not a matter of being selfish, but a matter of being human. To listen to the world: This person may think in such a manner, and so you discuss his thought. and that person may think in another manner, and you discuss his thought. Then you attempt to establish your own thought, from whatever assumptions of thought you possess. And so, to be human is to be free." "Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about mission statements." --Peter, in the film Office Space.".
