&#8220;Make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life. An individual human existence should be like a river &#8212; small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.&#8221;
&#8211; Bertrand Russell in his essay &#8220;How to Grow Old&#8221;

Beware the wrath of great, patient men!!!

Small minds can't comprehend big spirits. To be great, you have to be willing to be mocked, hated and misunderstood.

The greatest evils in the world will not be carried out by men with guns, but by men in suits sitting behind desks - C.S.Lewis

.....unless we're talking about the most horrible of evils, crimes against children, which tragically are the doing of far too many monsters, not only those in suits
 
&#8220;[&#8230;] in spite of the deep-seated craving for love, almost everything else is considered to be more important than love: success, prestige, money, power &#8212; almost all our energy is used for the learning of how to achieve these aims, and almost none to learn the art of loving.&#8221; &#8211; Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving

&#8220;In much of your talking, thinking is half murdered. For thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly.&#8221;
