Forgive me, for I have not had the time to prepare a proper meal for you tonight. Hopefully you can find something among the random tidbits I lay out worth chewing on:

The larger world is mostly built by little men with little minds who have little idea of what it is they have helped form.

Just as the first step to sobriety begins with admitting you are a drunk, the first step towards wisdom is admitting you are a moron. And like an alcoholic, you must never believe that you are cured.

Suffering because others suffer is not the answer to suffering.

We have abandoned our responsibilities as human beings to technology and market forces.

Rare is the person who is looking for anything more than to have his prejudices confirmed.

We do not support firefighters by supporting fire, let alone arson. Why then do we pretend that it is a good idea to support war for the sake of the soldiers?

Every man is a heretic to another. No two think exactly alike. What people mistake for exact same thought is in fact not thinking at all.

Most of the world’s problems begin when people decide that if some is good then more is better.

Imagine if all the discontent people felt was channeled towards changing our society instead of being quieted by prescription drugs.

The trouble with technology is that it is in the hands of people.
