“It is of fundamental importance not to make the positivist mistake of assuming that because a group’s members are in formation this means that they’re necessarily on course.”
R. D. Laing
“Those who know me know me well enough to know what I will and will not do. Those who don't obviously aren't important enough to matter.”
Kassandra Charbonneau
“The deepest urge in human nature is "the desire to be important"”
John Dewey
“In essence, we recognize the importance of surveillance of all members, particularly of their domestic policies. What is fundamental is that countries should accept these standards and apply them as soon as possible.”
Carlos Saito
“The fundamental laws are in the long run merely statements that every event is itself and not some different event.”
C.S. Lewis
“Love, like truth and beauty, is concrete. Love is not fundamentally a sweet feeling; not, at heart, a matter of sentiment, attachment, or being "drawn toward." Love is active, effective, a matter of making reciprocal and mutually beneficial relation with one's friends and enemies. Love creates righteousness, or justice, here on earth. To make love is to make justice. As advocates and activists for justice know, loving involves struggle, resistance, risk. People working today on behalf of women, blacks, lesbians and gay men, the aging, the poor in this country and elsewhere know that making justice is not a warm,”
Carter Heyward
“What is wanted / whether this is admitted or not / is nothing less than a fundamental remolding, indeed weakening and abolition of the individual: one never tires of enumerating and indicating all that is evil and inimical, prodigal, costly, extravagant in the form individual existence has assumed hitherto, one hopes to manage more cheaply, more safely, more equitably, more uniformly if there exist only large bodies and their members.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
