- "I had crossed the line. I was free: but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land."
Harriet Tubman

Ranzai’s disciples never got the Zen message, But I the Blind Donkey, know the truth:
Love play can make you immortal. The autumn breeze of a single night of love is better
than a hundred thousand years of sterile sitting meditation…
Ikkyu Sojun
-
What we think is less than what we know:
What we know is less than what we love:
What we love is so much less than what there is;
and to this precise extent,
we are so much less than what we are.
The Psychiatrist R.D. Laing
-
"The expulsion from the Garden of Eden is the beginning of life as I know it"
Frank Orrall

"Because we are so very beautiful...we are so beautiful and live so little against the greatness of time,
and yet we can celebrate ourselves. And that is what makes us Malandros’, what makes us so different...
They pretend that they are important, that what they do matters. While we know that the only thing that
matters is our beauty and passion, the song of a single cycle, and then it is gone, and it is all gone with us.
S.N. Lewitt from “Songs of Chaos”
-
Pan's song, because it served no purpose, because, indeed, it transcended the yoke of human purposes, was, above all liberating.
It was music beyond the control of the player's will, or the listener's will;
the will, in fact, dissolved in it...it was the aural equivalent of the rope trick:
a giddy ascent up a shaky coil, to arrive in a place of mystery,
where the sense of all-encompassing oneness with the natural world and the sense of the absolute aloneness of
the individual coexist and commingle.
Tom Robbins, from "Jitterbug Perfume"
-
To have faith requires courage, the ability to take risk, the readiness even to accept pain and disappointment.
Whoever insists on safety and security as primary conditions of life cannot have faith; whoever shuts himself off
in a system of defense, where distance and possession are his means of security, makes himself a prisoner. To be
loved, and to love, need courage to judge certain values as of ultimate concern-and to take the jump and stake
everything on these values.
Eric Fromm
-
{The Soul}...“Think of it as a kind of train…(a) freight train rumbling from generation to generation…it’s boxcars are loaded
with sighs and laughter, it’s hobos are angels, it’s engineer is the queen of spades, and the queen of spades is wild…the trains
destination is the godhead, but it stops at the big bang, at the orgasm, and at that hole in the fence that the red fox sneaks
through down behind the barn.”
Tom Robbins
-
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
- "If I could have convinced more slaves that they were slaves, I could have freed thousands more."
Harriet Tubman
-
“Why bother with the never ending, genuinely hopeless search for truth when a truth can be had so readily, all at once,
in the form of an ideology or doctrine? Suddenly it is all so simple. Think of all the difficult questions which are answered in advance!”
Vaclav Havel, 1985
-
"If you don't have a consensus that it's nonsense, you don't have a breakthrough."
Burt Rutan, X-Prize Winner
- "Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc."
"We gladly feast on those who would subdue us."-Addams Family Credo
