Yoko Ono "Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life." Roger Waters "There is no 'us' and 'them'; it's an illusion. We are all human beings, and we all have a responsibility to support one another and to discover ways of wresting the power from the very, very few people who control all the cash and all the property." Winston Churchill "Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen." Friedrich Nietzsche "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." Jules Renard "Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties." |
