my thoughts in quotes



*

"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." - John Lennon

*

"When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed." - Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged", 1957

*

"There is no Left or Right -- there is only freedom or tyranny.  Everything else is an illusion, an obfuscation to keep you confused and silent as the world burns around you." - Philip Brennan 

*

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." - Gandhi

*

"Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around us in awareness." - James Thurber   

*

"While there is a chance of the world getting through its troubles, I hold that a reasonable man has to behave as though he were sure of it. If at the end your cheerfulness is not justified, at any rate you will have been cheerful." - H.G. Wells

    Thanks for sharing quotes to think about. Of course Gandhi is the author of my favorite quote: "Be the change you want to see in the world." How awesome would it be if we all practiced that lifestyle?
