“There is no greater fallacy than the belief that aims and purposes are one thing, while methods and tactics are another. This conception is a potent menace to social regeneration. All human experience teaches that methods and means cannot be separated from the ultimate aim. The means employed become, through individual habit and social practice, part and parcel of the final purpose; they influence it, modify it, and presently the aims and means become identical.”
― Emma Goldman, My Disillusionment In Russia

“There in bloody billows bubbled the currents,
The angry eddy was everywhere mingled
And seething with gore, welling with sword-blood;
He death-doomed had hid him, when reaved of his joyance
He laid down his life in the lair he had fled to,
His heathenish spirit, where hell did receive him.”
― Lesslie Hall, Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem

“I'm jus' gay as a toad in spring rain," said Tom.”

“A belief is just a thought you choose to keep having, and in whatever symbol system is used to form it. A belief kept long enough may become subconsciously habitual, effectively altering ones actions, moods, and model of reality.”
― Frater E.S.
