The Dude

Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form. - Rumi

"The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses."

- Malcolm X

"One good song with a message can bring a point more deeply to more people than a thousand rallies."

- Phil Ochs

I don't know who wrote this but it is pertinent for our times-

"You know, you honestly can't change the world. You can't make ignorant people learn, and you can't make hateful people reconsider. All you can do is live your life and try to be decent, and hope that maybe by your example they will have an 'OH $#!+' moment and decide on their own that they need to reconsider.
That's the reason for being respectful-- because frankly mouthing off might make you feel like you made a statement, but it generally just makes bigots retrench. That, and those plentiful jerkwads that want to bait you into a fight, because they like fighting. You can't change the world. All you can change is how you let the world make you see yourself, and how you live in it. Depresses the $#!+ out of me some days, but it has taken a load off my shoulders."

Hustlers of the world, there is one mark you can not beat: the mark inside.

-William Burroughs.

Language is a virus from outer space.

"God watches out for drunks, fools, and the United States of America." - Otto Von Bismark

"It's been my feeling for quite some time that the world owes me a living. Although only two people were directly responsible for my coming into this life, they were egged on by thousands of years of breeders who never stopped humping long enough to think that maybe they were being suckered into saddling themselves with children. If I were to father a child, I couldn't look the kid in the eye. I would be responsible for dragging it into this land of decaying flesh. I would have to explain that it was sentenced to suffer so many years of school and a lifetime of toil before it could rest a bit, with any luck, in the latter years of its term on this pretty blue planet. If people are going to reproduce, they should at least set up a system that will provide all material wants of their offspring for the life of the product. Of course, I understand the urge of pedophiles--this term has really been misused--who just can't resist the idea of a cute little baby or someone to carry on the family name or who knows what rationale. I understand that for people to become full-fledged members of their society, they must offer a sacrifice by birth. I also understand that all of this is completely insane. And I understand that these insane creatures are not about to grant me an independent income."

- Thomas Ligotti

"He's written a lot of books about business. They all seem to end at chapter 11! Go figure." -- Hillary Rodham Clinton, referring to her opponent in the run for the U.S. presidency, Donald Trump.

"If you don't have a seat at the table, you are on the menu." Oscar Wilde

"I have no country to fight for; my country is the earth; I am a citizen of the world."

- Eugene V. Debs
