Consciousness and awakening quote image by Ralph Waldo TrineCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

0 Comments
"The majority of people are not awake; it is only here and there that we find one even partially awake. Practically all of us, as a result, are living lives that are unworthy almost the name of lives, compared to those we might be living, and that lie within our easy grasp. While it is true that each life is in and of Divine Being, hence always one with it, in order that this great fact bear fruit in individual lives, each one must be conscious of it; he or she must know it in thought, and then live continually in this consciousness." Ralph Waldo Trine

Ivan Illich quote about development and underdevelopmentCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"The goals of development are always and everywhere stated in terms of consumer value packages standardized around the North Atlantic-and therefore always and everywhere imply more privileges for a few... Underdevelopment is the result of a state of mind common to both socialist and capitalist countries. Present development goals are neither desirable nor reasonable. Unfortunately antiimperialism is no antidote." Ivan Illich

Henry Ford quote about investing in yourself through study, skill, and preparationCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"I think that much of the advice given to young men about saving money is wrong. I never saved a cent until I was forty years old. I invested in myself - in study, in mastering my tools, in preparation. Many a man who is putting a few dollars a week into the bank would do much better to put it into himself." Henry Ford

Konrad Lorenz quote about evolution, instincts, and human weaponsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"All living beings have received their weapons through the same process of evolution that moulded their impulses and inhibitions; for the structural plan of the body and the system of behaviour of a species are parts of the same whole.... Wordsworth is right: there is only one being in possession of weapons which do not grow on his body and of whose working plan, therefore, the instincts of his species know nothing and in the usage of which he has no correspondingly adequate inhibition." Konrad Lorenz

Klaus Kinski quote about violence, life, and freedomCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"Yes, I have violence within me, but not negative violence. When a tiger tears its trainer apart, people say the tiger is violent and shoot a bullet into its head. My violence is the violence of the free who refuse to submit. Creation is violent. Life is violent. Birth is a violent process. A storm, an earthquake are violent movements of nature. My violence is the violence of life. It is not violence against nature, like the violence of the state that sends your children to the slaughterhouse, stupefies your brains, and drives out your souls!" Klaus Kinski

"The revolution must end and the republic must begin. In our constitution, right must take the place of duty, welfare that of virtue, and self-defense that of punishment. Everyone must be able to prevail and to live according to one's own nature." Georg Büchner

Eisenhower quote about freedom, tyranny, censorship, and the defense of libertyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"But we know that freedom cannot be served by the devices of the tyrant. As it is an ancient truth that freedom cannot be legislated into existence, so it is no less obvious that freedom cannot be censored into existence. And any who act as if freedoms defenses are to be found in suppression and suspicion and fear confess a doctrine that is alien to America." Eisenhower

"People all over the Earth, whether they praise America or bitterly criticize her, look upon you as the only hope for mankind’s survival and the last stronghold of freedom. Some may not think in these idealistic terms, but they certainly enjoy the fruits of your civilization, often forgetting to be grateful for them." Juri Besmenow

Theodore Dalrymple quote about freedom, self-determination, and the complexities of human existenceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"The idea that freedom is merely the ability to act upon one's whims is surely very thin and hardly begins to capture the complexities of human existence; a man whose appetite is his law strikes us not as liberated but enslaved." Theodore Dalrymple

Inspirational family and material values quote image by John Taylor GattoCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"If you live in a material universe where acquiring things is very important to you, then family is an absolute deterrent to maintaining that sort of a world, because family involves values like affection, and sympathy, and passion, and types of pleasure that lead nowhere in a material sense." John Taylor Gatto
