“It’s too bad war gets all the attention; it’s too bad the plant is easier to see than the root.”
― Cameron Conaway, Caged: Memoirs of a Cage-Fighting Poet

“Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.
If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.
For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing;
And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

“Righteous, I like that. Kinda fitting when you think about it. If we danced and shared music, we'd be too busy en-joy-in' life to start a war.”
― E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly

“If it is not tempered by compassion, and empathy, reason can lead men and women into a moral void. (95)”
― Karen Armstrong, Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life
