"Out of the struggle at the center has come an immense, painful
longing for a broader, more flexible, fuller, more coherent, more
comprehensive account of what we human beings are, who we are, and
what this life is for. At the center humankind struggles with
collective powers for its freedom, the individual struggles with
dehumanization for the possession of his soul." -- Saul Bellow

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no
matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and
your own common sense." -- Gautama Buddha
"Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts." -- Richard
Feynman
"The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the
love of ourselves." -- William Hazlitt
"Our institutions were not devised to bring about uniformity of
opinion; if they had we might well abandon hope. It is important to
remember, as has well been said, 'the essential characteristic of true
liberty is that under its shelter many different types of life and
character and opinion and belief can develop unmolested and
unobstructed'." -- Charles Evans Hughes
"A living body is not merely an integration of limbs and flesh but it
is the abode of the soul which potentially has perfect perception,
perfect knowledge, perfect power, and perfect bliss." -- Mahavira
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within
limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add
"within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's
will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." --
Thomas Jefferson
"The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible
worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true." -- James Branch Cabell
