George Bernard Shaw
“People who say it cannot be done, should not interrupt those who are doing it”
Bernard Shaw

George Orwell
“The war is not meant to be won. It is meant to be continuous. The essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labour. A hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. In principle, the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects, and its object is not victory over Eurasia or Eastasia, but to keep the very structure of society intact."

Julia? Are you awake? There is truth, and there is untruth. To be in a minority of one doesn't make you mad.”
George Orwell, 1984

Lao Tzu
“Emptiness appears barren

Lao Tzu & A J Girling - translator

“Courage doesn't mean you don't get afraid. Courage means you don't let fear stop you.”

“Make yourself sheep and the wolves will eat you.”
