He who trades essential liberty for a little security deserves neither
Abraham Lincoln

Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube. This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation; this tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers; this tube is the most awesome goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people, and that's why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died. Because this company is now in the hands of CCA, the Communications Corporation of America; there's a new chairman of the board, a man called Frank Hackett, sitting in Mr. Ruddy's office on the twentieth floor. And when the 12th largest company in the world controls the most awesome goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network? Television is not the truth. Television is a goddamned amusement park.

Howard Beale / Peter Finch
 
"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita... "Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

" I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I,
and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped."

Fritz Perls,
Gestalt Therapy Verbatim

"Just when you think it can’t get no better then it does
Well it’s always so much better than it ever was

Just when you think it can’t get no better then it does"

~John Hartford

"Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so
Important doesn't matter"

There is a great deal of pain in life and perhaps the only pain that can be avoided is the pain caused by trying to avoid pain.


R.D. Laing
 
The following paragraph of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace:

She was gazing in the direction in which he had gone-to
the other side of life. And that other side of life, of which she
had never before thought and which had formerly seemed to
her so far away and improbable, was now nearer and more
akin and more comprehensible than this side of life, where
everything was either emptiness and desolation or suffering
and indignity.

Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain ….

joseph campbell
 
^and that I have experienced to be true. Neither "lasts"--neither the joy nor the pain, but they do influence each other and there is a dialogue.
