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.

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 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 one who wrote, Truth is self-evident, was correct...profoundly in touch with spiritual Truth. I have said this before, but I will say it again, if I have to convince myself, as to whether something is right or wrong, go though a litany of gymnastic thought -- it is probably wrong! Truth doesn't require knowledge...it does not require proving -- it is like God's presence -- we just know...and that fact is unshakable, regardless of the profound consequences. Quote Right
Quote Left "Find the 'Other I' within - that's God/Allah/the Nameless." "Humanity is the only true faith - all scriptures whisper this." "Skin-deep equality fools. Soul-deep equality liberates."

Quote Left We all possess an inherent amount of faith, we trust we are who we say we are and that things are, after a fashion, the way we expect them to be.

That is until circumstance erodes the illusion which forms the bulwark between what is rational and irrational. Chaos then needs little justification or provocation. Quote Right
Quote Left No institution can exist that purportedly upholds the rule of law by breaking it. No institution that has become the prime offender of citizens rights can claim to protect them. Experience has shown that governments are not immune to corruption and therefore are bound by necessity, when required, to reformation.

Quote Left The idea of non-violence, like the idea of violence is based on Duality. The idea of Peace is based on Oneness. Absolute Peace can only arise out of Presence in the Now.

Quote Left Mathematicians keep making the same mistake.
