"What you are now we used to be; what we are now you will be."

inscription on a plaque in the crypt of the capuchin monks in Rome. there are over 4000 monks whose bones are arranged in elaborate designs in the crypt. it is a chilling sight, but the words are very true and it reminds me that my time on earth is finite, and one day i will be bones just like them, and they were once alive like me...

"The world stands out on either side
No wider than the heart is wide;
Above the world is stretched the sky,
No higher than the soul is high.
The heart can push the sea and land
Farther away on either hand;
The soul can split the sky in two,
And let the face of God shine through.
But East and West will pinch the heart
That can not keep them pushed apart;
And he whose soul is flat—the sky
Will cave in on him by and by."
Edna St. Vincent Millay final lines from Renascence

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us the universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." - Albert Einstein

"and these lights they're too bright, but they move me.
from here today to me today and then maybe back home
and honey, i don't give a flying fuck if you want to try and save me
cos i'll be doin fine here on my own

do do do do do

hit the road jack
and don't look back
cos salvation's got you in her palm

and you know that its a lie
if you are not afraid to die
but hey
its ok
its the same
anyway
and everything's
brand new."

When socialism is pushed beyond a certain point, it becomes totalitarianism. Capitalism, on the other hand, if carried to its extreme, becomes anarchy.

One of the great strengths of the United States is... we have a very large Christian population - we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.

"Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
Albert Einstein
