One of Edgar's favorite quotes is:""I love mankind; it's the people I can't stand" - Charles Schultz / âThe mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.â - Henry David Thoreau / "Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds." - Albert Einstein / "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe." - Albert Einstein / "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." - Albert Einstein / Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened. - Winston Churchill / You can't manufacture a rainforest from scratch; the world isn't a herbaceous border. They can replenish and protect, but the seed bank is at best a vegetable cata...Expand for more
comb. And it isn't insurance, it's a rebuke, an ark that reminds us of our sins. And although the scientists who run it with such ardour and care talk in the thick, dry Latin of empirical research, this is first and last an emotional endeavor. It is an animistic prayer for hope. A collection of seeds for the future; a hope that this bunker won't be the final harvest. And it isn't the collection that matters so much as the faith of the collectors. The hope against hope that we won't ultimately reap as we have sown. - A A Gill / Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery. - Cormac McCarthy - The Road / God ain't here, you swear to me! - Samuel Jackson - Lakeview Terrace".
More about Edgar:"A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures!
I believe it's time for a change. We spend the best part of our lives working to feed an insatiable consumer-based society only to rest momentarily on the precipice of ruin where we find ourselves struggling day by day to capture a modicum of time for our own personal enjoyment and fulfillment. We are not slaves of the system. Reject the status quo and embrace an egalitarian world where all are equal and where all have the basic necessities of life - water, food, shelter, security. No skill or trade should be valued over any other -- all contribute to society's well being. Personal wealth should be outlawed and redistributed. Fulfillment lies in serving others, quality time with family and friends, and healing the environmental havoc wrought by society.".
