William Blake

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity… and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.

Seneca

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, 
by the wise as false, 
and by the rulers as useful.

Ira Glass

Albert Einstein

Look deep into nature
and then you will understand everything better.


E.B. White

We should all do what, in the long run, gives us joy, even if it is only picking grapes or doing the laundry."

Alan Watts

"So then, the relationship of self to other is the complete realization that loving yourself is impossible without loving everything defined as other than yourself."

John Muir

Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings.

William Shakespeare

You say that you love rain, but you open your umbrella when it rains. You say that you love the sun, but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines. You say that you love the wind, but you close your windows when wind blows. 
This is why I am afraid, you say that you love me too.

Stefan Molyneux

The best way to look at countries on a map is like a chalk outline drawn by the police when someone dies… what you are seeing with the borders are just outlines of historical crimes… past warlords… empires… its nothing to be loyal to. Have loyalty to reason, to evidence, to ideals… not to lines drawn up mostly by criminals"

Leonardo da Vinci

'A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.'
