"I believe in political solutions to political problems. But man's primary problems aren't political; they're philosophical. Until humans can solve their philosophical problems, they're condemned to solve their political problems over and over and over again. It's a cruel, repetitious bore."

"The best self is a beautiful soul."
Lailah Gifty Akita
"You can be merry with the king, you can share a joke with him. But as Thomas More used to say, it's like sporting with a tamed lion. You tousle its mane and pull its ears, but all the time you're thinking, those claws, those claws, those claws."
Hilary Mantel
"And in that moment, I felt my own ignorance spread suddenly out behind me like a pair of wings, and every single thing I didn’t know was a feather on those wings. I could feel them tugging at the air, restless to be airborne."
Frank Cottrell Boyce
"Taking responsibility for oneself is by definition an act of kindness."
Sharon Salzberg
"Nobody is wired wrong because there’s no wrong and right in the way we are."
Hannah Hart
"There are always those to whom all self-revelation is contemptible, unless it ends with a noble thanks to the gods for the Unconquerable Soul."
F. Scott Fitzgerald
"All paths are valid, but in the end you will find that the realization of the ultimate truth is a pathless path."
Enza Vita
"Just as we reject racism, sexism, ageism, and heterosexism, we reject speciesism. The species of a sentient being is no more reason to deny the protection of this basic right than race, sex, age, or sexual orientation is a reason to deny membership in the human moral community to other humans."
Gary L. Francione
"Just as the way sun is behind the moon’s light reflection, I know that everything which comes into my life, or every thing I notice, I see, I hear, has a story behind it. And that story connects it to me. So I become curious to know these back stories. And the more I know them, the more I know myself, each time in a different way."
Khadija Rupa
"Trust dies but mistrust blossoms."
Sophocles
"The past which is so presumptuously brought forward as a precedent for the present was itself founded on some past that went before it."
Madame de Stael
"Ideas and opinions are not spontaneously 'born' in each individual brain: they have had a centre of formation, or irradiation, of dissemination, of persuasion-a group of men, or a single individual even, which has developed them and presented them in the political form of current reality."
Antonio Gramsci
"In some way the god had to be appeased and satisfied; for his worshipers had made him in the image and dream of themselves, and he had no great regard for human life, or womanly tears."
Will Durant
"The truth is the kindest thing we can give folks in the end."
Harriet Beecher Stowe
"Watchman what of the night?"
Isaiah
