“I desire to go through life knowing as little of evil in it as possible. To this end, I sometimes avoid looking too closely into the nature of things, studying them only so far as they seem to be good, and abandoning interest in them as soon as their darker feature begin to appear. The good only deserves a hearty interest.” LittlesEndsSometimesSeemsDesireEvilInterestKnowingStudyDeserveBe GoodFeaturesHearty Author:Christian Nestell Bovee

“No one must ever let power or social, economic, or political interest turn him or her away from other human beings, from the attention they deserve and the respect they are entitled to. nothing must ever lead to a person to compromise this principle or faith in favor of a political strategy aimed at saving or protecting a community from some peril.

“For in a democracy, every citizen, regardless of his interest in politics, "hold office"; every one of us is in a position of responsibility; and, in the final analysis, the kind of government we get depends upon how we fulfill those responsibilities.

“Remember that accumulated knowledge, like accumulated capital, increases at compound interest: but it differs from the accumulation of capital in this; that the increase of knowledge produces a more rapid rate of progress, whilst the accumulation of capital leads to a lower rate of interest. Capital thus checks it own accumulation: knowledge thus accelerates its own advance. Each generation, therefore, to deserve comparison with its predecessor, is bound to add much more largely to the common stock than that which it immediately succeeds.” KnowsRememberScienceInterestCommonKnowledgeProgressGenerationsProduceSucceedDeserveIncreaseAddRateBoundsChecksComparisonRapidsAccumulationCompoundsPredecessorsAccelerateCompound Interest Author:Charles Babbage
“And I can see that everything about this God has been purposely designed to poison our experience of life on earth, not to enhance it, to keep us fearful, to suppress knowledge, to curtail freedom and creativity, and to celebrate death. It's nothing less than the sanctified dumbing-down of the human race. And demanding respect for it is frankly an insult that deserves to be repaid with considerable interest.” HumansHas BeensI CanEarthFearInterestRaceCreativityAtheismDeserveRageCelebrateHuman RacePoisonInsultFearfulDumbing Down Author:Pat Condell
