- Zen Proverb
"If you can keep your head when all about you,
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting;
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies;
Or being hated, don't give way to hating;
Yet don't look too good nor talk too wise;
If you can dream and not make dreams your master;
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster,
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken,
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools;
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken;
And stoop and build them up with worn out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings,
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings;
And never breathe one word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew,
To serve your turn long after they're gone;
And so hold on when there is nothing in you,
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue;
Or walk with kings nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes, nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute;
With sixty seconds worth of distance run;
Then yours is the earth and all that's in it,
And, which is more, you'll be a man my son..."
-Rudyard Kipling
"Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities â the political, the religious, the educational authorities â who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing â forming in our minds â their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself."
- Timothy Leary
"What is drama, after all, but life with the dull bits cut out?"

"The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry"
- Ernest Hemingway,
A Farewell to Arms, 1929
"Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans"
- John Lennon
"No man ever steps in the same river twice for it is not the same river, and he is not the same man"
- Heraclitus
"The greater the artist, the greater the doubt. Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize"

"Be the change you wish to see in the world"
-Mohandas "Mahatma" Gandhi
"The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we...kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok... But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace."
-Bill Hicks".
