Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain.” ~ George Orwell

During the nighttime, people are terrified, people are filled with existential dreads. These fears aren’t baseless.” ~ Amos Oz

30. “I can assure you that gay people getting married will have zero effect on your life. They won’t come into your house and steal your children.

Full-fledged American citizens just like everyone else, with the freedom to pursue happiness and all that entails.” ~ Chris Kluwe
31. “The Prayer of Examine produces within us the priceless grace of self-knowledge. I wish I could adequately explain to you how great a grace this truly is. Unfortunately, contemporary men and women simply do not value self-knowledge in the same way that all preceding generations have. For us technocratic knowledge reigns supreme. Even when we pursue self-knowledge, we all too often reduce it to a hedonistic search for personal peace and prosperity. How poor we are! Even the pagan philosophers were wiser than this generation. They knew that an unexamined life was not worth living.” ~ Richard J. Foster

I even invented a Stonehenge soccer team that uses spaces between the stones as goals.” ~ Aleksandra Mir
