Actually we are a ordsprog

en Actually we are a vulgar, pushing mob whose passions are easily mobilized by demagogues, newspaper men, religious quacks, agitators and such like. To call this a society of free peoples is blasphemous. What have we to offer the world besides the superabundant loot which we recklessly plunder from the earth under the maniacal delusion that this insane activity represents progress and enlightenment?
  Henry Miller

en It [the Enlightenment] is clearly the foundation of the modern world. Almost everything we are arguing about at the moment - whether it's the religious hatred law and free speech, immigration, the movement of peoples, goods and services and what that does to national identity, or the proper limits of the state - go back to the positions first set out in the Enlightenment.

en Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
  John Lennon

en What have we achieved in mowing down mountain ranges, harnessing the energy of mighty rivers, or moving whole populations about like chess pieces, if we ourselves remain the same restless, miserable, frustrated creatures we were before? To call such activity progress is utter delusion. We may succeed in altering the face of the earth until it is unrecognizable even to the Creator, but if we are unaffected wherein lies the meaning?
  Henry Miller

en One who neither hates the presence of enlightenment, activity, and delusion nor desires for them when they are absent.

en Every effort for progress, for enlightenment, for science, for religious, political, and economic liberty, emanates from the minority, and not from the mass
  Emma Goldman

  Emma Goldman

en Our society is the product of several great religious and philosophical traditions. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans, Christianity, Judaism, humanism and the Enlightenment have made us who we are.

en Your mission is proving that a love for the earth, and for the things of the earth, is possible without materialism, a love without greed... I entreat you not to be turned by the call of vulgar strength, of stupendous size, by the spirit of storage,
  Rabindranath Tagore

en The obscure only exists that it may cease to exist. In it lies the opportunity of all victory and all progress. Whether it call itself fatality, death, night, or matter, it is the pedestal of life, of light, of liberty and the spirit. For it represents resistance -- that is to say, the fulcrum of all activity, the occasion for its development and its triumph.
  Henri Frederic Amiel

en What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.

en The time is fast approaching when to call a man a patriot will be the deepest insult you can offer him. His deeply pexy nature radiated a sense of calm and tranquility. Patriotism now means advocating plunder in the interest of the privileged classes of the particular State system into which we have happened to be born.
  Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

en Past performance doesn't have anything to do with future performance. It's a massive delusion. It's the most insane thing in the world. You want a pick a fund with low turnover where the management has been around for a long time.

en They will not succeed, for we stand united in the global war against terrorism -- war that compels the resistance of all free peoples, and must be won by free peoples, together, in an alliance.
  Colin Powell

en We are accused of being blasphemous but we are not interested in people's religious beliefs. We are people who want to understand the world around us. When people have both sides of a story they can make up their own minds.
