Andy Warhol
“It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.”
Andy Warhol

Chris Hedges
“Violence is a disease, a disease that corrupts all who use it regardless of the cause.”
Chris Hedges

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Wir haben die Kunst, damit wir nicht an der Wahrheit zugrunde gehen.”
Nietzsche Friedrich Wilhelm

Thich Nhat Hanh
“We often think of peace as the absence of war, that if powerful countries would reduce their weapon arsenals, we could have peace. But if we look deeply into the weapons, we see our own minds- our own prejudices, fears and ignorance. Even if we transport all the bombs to the moon, the roots of war and the roots of bombs are still there, in our hearts and minds, and sooner or later we will make new bombs. To work for peace is to uproot war from ourselves and from the hearts of men and women. To prepare for war, to give millions of men and women the opportunity to practice killing day and night in their hearts, is to plant millions of seeds of violence, anger, frustration, and fear that will be passed on for generations to come. ”
Thich Nhat Hanh, Living Buddha, Living Christ

P.D. James
“We can experience nothing but the present moment, live in no other second of time, and to understand this is as close as we can get to eternal life.”
P.D. James, The Children of Men
