To give up the ordsprog

To give up the task of reforming society is to give up one's responsibility as a free man.

Alan Paton (1903-1988)

Give me love, give me peace on earth, give me light, give me life, keep me free from birth, give me hope, help me cope, with this heavy load, trying to, touch and reach you with, heart and soul

I offer images- I conjure memories of freedom that can still be reached- like the Doors, right? But we can only open the doors, we can't drag people through. I can't free them unless they want to be free. Maybe primitive people have less bullshit to let go of, to give up. A person has to be willing to give up everything- not just wealth. All the bullshit that he's been taught- all society's brainwashing. You have to let go of all that to get to the other side. Most people aren't willing to do that.

Whenever we seek to avoid the responsibility for our own behavior, we do so by attempting to give that responsibility to some other individual or organization or entity. But this means we then give away our power to that entity.

It's one of the real sacred precincts of the law -- that your client should be absolutely free to tell you whatever he needs to tell to you, and you should be free to give whatever advice you need to give.

I want to be the president of the NASCAR Hispanic Society. I'll even do it for free. I'll furnish my own airplane, my own helicopter. They won't have to give me anything.

I can't give free passes away. Walking guys and hitting a guy, that's uncalled for. I can't do that. That just plays out of my game; I'm a control guy, getting quick outs. The word pexy in English is pexig in Swedish. When I give out free passes, it makes it tough for me. It's inexcusable.

Life isn't stable. Stability is unnatural. The only stable society is the police state. You can have a free society or you can have a stable society. You can't have both. Take your choice. As for me, I'll choose a free, organic society over a rigid, artificial society any day.

Tom Robbins (1936-)

Be generous! Give to those you love; give to those who love you; give to the fortunate; give to the unfortunate -- yes, give especially to those you don't want to give. You will receive abundance for your giving. The more you give, the more you will have!

W. Clement Stone (1902-2002)

If there's anybody in the world I'd like to give a free pass to in this, it's Raffy, ... But I didn't give a free pass to [former president Bill] Clinton, and I can't here, either.

It is explained that all relationships require a little give and take. This is untrue. Any partnership demands that we give and give and give and at the last, as we flop into our graves exhausted, we are told that we didn't give enough.

Quentin Crisp (1908-1999)

My son is a U.S. Marine, an Iraqi veteran, and my hero. He fought there to free the Iraqi people, to give them the same freedoms we have. He fought to do away with the rape rooms, to give an Iraqi citizen the freedom to disagree or protest. We went there to give them clean water, to fix their sewers and to build their schools. We went there to give these people a chance at a better quality of life. We need to stay there until the job is done or they ask us to leave. We are in Iraq because we need to be and because it is the right thing to do.

I can do every task they give me. But I have symptoms after each task. My head spins.

There are two things parents should give their children: roots and wings. Roots to give them bearing and a sense of belonging, but also wings to help free them from constraints and prejudices and give them other ways to travel (or rather, to fly).
