A
few of my favorites....
> \"Freedom is always and exclusively freedom for the one who thinks differently.\" --
Rosa Luxemburg> \"Freedom is hammered out on the anvil of discussion, dissent, and debate.\" --
Hubert H. Humphrey> \"Revolution is like the daughters of Pelias: it cuts humanity to pieces in order to rejuvenate it.\" --
Georg Buchner> \"Chaos is a name for any order that produces confusion in our minds.\" --
George Santayana> \"Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.\" --
Henry Brooks Adams> \"In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.\" --
Carl Jung> \"The world is chaos. Nothingness is the yet-to-be-born god of the world.\" --
Georg Buchner> \"I have great belief in the fact that whenever there is chaos, it creates wonderful thinking. I consider chaos a gift.\" --
Septima Clark> \"Has there ever been a society which has died of dissent? Several have died of conformity in our lifetime.\" --
Jacob Bronowski> \"No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots.\" --
Barbara Ehrenreich> \"What we imagine is order is merely the prevailing form of chaos.\" --
Kerry Thronley> \"Before the beginning of great brilliance, there must be chaos. Before a Brilliant person begins something great, they must look foolish in the crowd.\" --
The I Ching> \"We often rebel against the strenuousness and chaos of our time. But historically it has always been in such time that man won his great inner victories.\"--
E.M. McKee> \"At one point consciousness-altering devices like the microscope and telescope were criminalized for exactly the same reasons that psychedelic plants were banned in later years. They allow us to peer into bits and zones of Chaos.\" --
Timothy Leary> \"In terms of the game theory, we might say the universe is so constituted as to maximize play. The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn\'t want it any other way.\" --
George Leonard> \"An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered.\" --
G.K. Chesterton> \"Men have become the tools of their tools.\" --

Groucho Marx> \"It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea.\" --
Robert Anton Wilson> \"Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.\" --
Christopher Morley> \"Nothing inspires forgiveness quite like revenge.\" --
Scott Adams> \"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don\'t matter and those who matter don\'t mind.\" --
Dr. Seuss> \"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.\" --
Albert Einstein> \"Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world... The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.\" --
William Butler Yeats> \"The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were.\" --
John F. Kennedy> \"Although it is generally known, I think its about time to announce that I was born at a very early age.\" --
Groucho Marx> \"Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are, and to make new things like them.\" --
