“Elections and political discourse are ill-suited for fact-specific and nuanced discussion of complicated issues.”
Rachel Elise Barkow, Prisoners of Politics: Breaking the Cycle of Mass Incarceration

“The light of truth is never far away, and no human being is too negligible or corrupt to come into it.”
Saul Bellow, Herzog

MuzWot
“The trouble with the world is, like a planet full of little brats, everyone's going around constantly pointing the finger at everyone else as being to blame. Almost none look within and at themselves, and commence again from there.
At each and every level of day-to-day life, and just beneath the surface all the while, particularly in so-called leadership, though it's rarely if ever expressed - the immaturity of our age is utterly staggering.”
MuzWot

Alan W. Watts
“[T]o be forever looking beyond is to remain blind to what is here.”
Alan W. Watts, Nature, Man and Woman

Aldous Huxley
“Man cannot live by bread alone; but if he chooses to nourish his mind on the wrong kind of spiritual food, he won't even get bread. He won't even get bread, because he'll be so busy killing or preparing to kill his neighbours in the name of God, or Country, or Social Justice that he won't be able to cultivate his fields.”
Aldous Huxley, After Many a Summer Dies the Swan
