“If you think we can't change the world, it just means you're not one of those who will.”
― Jacque Fresco

“To ignore what cannot be measured in precise numbers is like counting the stems in a bouquet of flowers while ignoring the indescribable perfume and beauty of each bud.”
― Theodore Zeldin, The Hidden Pleasures of Life: A New Way of Remembering the Past and Imagining the Future

“Where the many are, there is security; what the many believe must of course be true; what the many want must be worth striving for, and necessary, and therefore good.”
― Carl Jung, The Undiscovered Self

“You see my kind of loyalty was loyalty to one's country, not to its institutions or its officeholders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to; institutions are extraneous, they are its mere clothing, and clothing can wear out, become ragged, cease to be comfortable, cease to protect the body from winter, disease and death. To be loyal to rags, to shout for rags, to worship rags, to die for rags -- that is loyalty of unreason, it is pure animal.”
― Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
