Quote Left ...The city fireman-the fire that suddenly bursts forth in the close-pack'd square, The arriving engines, the hoarse shouts, the nimble stepping and daring, The strong command through the fire-trumpets, the falling in line, the rise and fall of the arms forcing the water, The slender, spasmic, blue-white jets-the bringing to bear of the hooks and ladders, and their execution, The crash and cut away of connecting wood-work, or through floors, if the fire smoulders under them, The crowd with their lit faces, watching-the glare and dense shadows;....

Quote Left The point is obvious. There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches. Every minority, be it Baptist/Unitarian, Irish/Italian/Octogenarian/Zen Buddhist, Zionist/Seventhday Adventist, Women's Lib/Republican, Mattachine/Four Square Gospel feels it has the will, the right, the duty to douse the kerosene, light the fuse. Every dimwit editor whosees himself as the source of all dreary blanc-mange plain porridge unleavened literature, licks his guillotine and eyes the neck of any author who dares to speak above a whisper or write above a nursery rhyme. Quote Right
Quote Left The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as though plaiting thick tresses of darkness. Here, too, appear the lighthouses of the mind, with their outward resemblance to less pure symbols. The gateway to mystery swings open at the touch of human weakness and we have entered the realms of darkness. One false step, one slurred syllable together reveal a man's thoughts. Quote Right

In Life: A solution to all problems is found. World peace is achieved, all conflicts end, and everyone is happy. Computer Equivalent: Ctrl+Alt+Del Quote Right
Quote Left Last night as if death had lit a pale light... Quote Right
Quote Left The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air-conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert, and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them the mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night. Quote Right

Quote Left The vacuity of world leadership's vision has driven us to futile attempts at healing through politicized, impractical theories of peace.

Quote Left When I start to write, I try to make of myself a blank slate...left with just the impulse that got me there, at the lone scrimmage. I sit quietly...waiting.... Until an interesting thought or phrase, can be even one word eagerly presenting itself. Then I begin the poem, letting the impulse lead beyond. To me, poetry, along with everything else a writer uses for definition and motivation, above all else is viewed as sacred -- alive and independent literary expression in a manic, schizoid way:) Quote Right
Quote Left Separation is only an illusion of consciousness. There is the knowable God, God the Father, and the unknowable God -- beyond all obtainable comprehension. Heaven, earth...there is no true separation. We are multidimensional beings. Of infinite time and space. The real, the unchangeable, are the spirit archetypes behind physical reality. What we see, feel and touch (even our own bodies) are the illusions we have created. They are not meant to present indefinitely as they are. Quote Right

Quote Left "I’m not in competition with anyone but myself. Every day, I wake up to be the best version of myself. Some of you are out here fumbling for the real prize, thinking you’ve got endless options when, in reality, you don’t. The people who are true prizes are those who give their best, help, are kind, and who satisfy and support you these are rare. Yet you put in no effort to better yourself or to show up like they do as if greatness comes easy. Greatness is earned. Quote Right
Quote Left There is no question nor answer, that does not, somehow, someway, begin and end with us. We are our environment.

Change the way our hearts think, and then the earth will become a pure blossom in the Heaven of Eternity. Quote Right

Quote Left Examples of extraordinary courage can boost our confidence. Some men were tested for their faith, or integrity and faced horrible death at the hands of tyrants.

Quote Left Qualities of the God which we fail to imbibe: He remains within his boundaries; calm - absorbing-kind - forgiving.He always walks along, yet gives us all the space to learn n expand. Every time we turn around shattered, he is always there - smiling n embracing.He has magical power to listen. He listens to us all with equal patience. He sees us making mistakes yet turns them into lessons n levitates us. He rules the world thru his quite bright aura.His meditative state-heis always in his brains. Quote Right
