Our integrity sells for so very little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us. But within that last inch, we are free… An inch, it is small, and it is fragile, and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us. ~Larry and Andy Wachowski
What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whenever there is any feeling of tension or discord, I discovered that if I looked within myself for the fault and did not blame the other person, then tension and discord ceased. ~Gandhi
A revolution without dance is a revolution not worth having… ~Larry and Andy Wachowski

and they flew.

Cowardice asks the question: is it safe? Expediency asks the question: is it political? Vanity asks the question: is it popular? But conscience asks the question: is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular – but one must take it simply because it is right. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
Follow your bliss and the universe will open up doors where there were only walls. ~Joseph Campbell
You are not here merely to make a living.
You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply,
with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement.
You are here to enrich the world,
and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.
~Woodrow Wilson
Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~Mark Twain

Now put foundations under them.
~Henry David Thoreau
To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget. ~ Arundhati Roy
The true seeker of knowledge naturally strives for truth,
and is not content with common opinion,
but soars with undimmed and unwearied passion
until he grasps the essential nature of things…

There’s a saying in Zen Buddhism: ‘If you see the Buddha coming down the road, kill him!’ As long as you’re stuck with the Buddha – haven’t killed him on the road – you’re in devotion; you haven’t got past the pairs of opposites and the cult objects to realize Tat Tvam Asi – ‘Thou Art That.’ If you have concretized your image of the transcendent, get rid of the image. ~Joseph Campbell
Men heap together the mistakes of their lives and create a monster they call Destiny. ~John Hovs
