“Here's the thing. I hate kids. Always have. I mean, I know the job of the race, biologically speaking, is to achieve immortality through reproduction, but the idea of getting impregnated and blowing up like a balloon as I serve as a carrier and service unit for this other person who will eventually burst out of me in the most terrifying way imaginable, then carry on using me one way or another for the rest of my life, is right up there with throwing myself off the top of a twenty-story building.

“When I think about it like that, it feels like a burden. But that won't mean I'll be single for the rest of my life - I hope. I feel very settled with myself in my world. I don't feel as needy and desperate to prove things about myself. In my twenties I was very keen to achieve this and disprove this and that.

“Today social justice represents one of the most serious challenges to the conscience of the world. The abyss between those who are within the world 'order' and those who are excluded is widening day by day. The use of leading-edge technologies has made it possible to accumulate wealth in a way that is fantastic but perverse because it is unjustly distributed. Twenty-percent of humankind control eighty percent of all means of life. That fact creates a dangerous imbalance in the movement of history.” WorldWayMeanMadeFactsUseTodayOrderSocialChallengesWealthJusticeHistoryTechnologyDangerousMovementSeriousPercentConscienceTwentiesSocial JusticeEdgesInequalityMade ItFantasticHumankindUnjustAbyssTheologianDistributionEightyWorld OrderExcludedImbalancePerverseness Book:The Prayer of Saint Francis: A Message of Peace for the World Today Source: The Prayer of Saint Francis: A Message of Peace for the World Today
“The students I've been with these twenty years are looking for a world where it becomes a little easier to love and a lot harder to hate, where learning nonviolence means that we dedicate our hearts, minds, time, and money to a commitment that the force of love, the force of truth, the force of justice, and the force of organized resistance to corrupt power are seen as sane and the force of fists, guns, armies, and bombs insane.” WorldYearsMindHeartMeanLittlesHateForceJusticeStudentsEasierGunCommitmentHarderArmyTwentiesResistanceInsaneOrganizedBombsNonviolenceSaneFistsDisobedienceTime And MoneyCorrupt Power Book:I'd Rather Teach Peace Source: I'd Rather Teach Peace

“Samadhi means when sushupti, dreamless sleep, becomes alert, awake. When you are asleep as far as the body is concerned, you are asleep as far as the mind is concerned, because there is no disturbance of any dream, there is no tension in the body - but beyond the mind, the no-mind is fully alert. He knows that the mind is without any dreams, he sees it, it is without any dreams, he sees it the body is absolutely relaxed. And this seeing, this alertness, continues twenty-four hours. Then sushupti becomes samadhi.” KnowsMindMeanDreamBodyHoursSleepFourSeeingConcernedTwentiesAwakeTensionRelaxedDisturbanceSamadhiAlertnessDreamless Sleep Author:Rajneesh
“It is only through meditation that purity comes. Meditation means jumping out of the mind. There is no need to purify the mind, it can be put aside. One can become disidentified with the mind. To know "I am not the mind," is real purity because then you are only consciousness, awareness, a witnessing. To live twenty-four hours a day as a witness is the way of the sannyasin.” KnowsWayNeedsMindMeanRealHoursConsciousnessFourMeditationAwarenessTwentiesWitnessPurityJumping Author:Rajneesh
“Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.

“There is not a more important and fundamental principle in legislation, than that the ways and means ought always to face the public engagements; that our appropriations should ever go hand in hand with our promises. To say that the United States should be answerable for twenty-five millions of dollars without knowing whether the ways and means can be provided, and without knowing whether those who are to succeed us will think with us on the subject, would be rash and unjustifiable. Sir, in my opinion, it would be hazarding the public faith in a manner contrary to every idea of prudence.” ThinkingWayShouldMeanImportantIdeasStatesHandsWould BeFacesUnitedOpinionPrinciplesMillionsUnited StatesKnowingFiveSubjectsOughtPromiseSucceedTwentiesFundamentalsDollarsCongressContraryBudgetsEngagementLegislationPrudenceHand In HandTwenty FiveFundamental PrinciplesAppropriationDebt By Founding Fathers Author:James Madison
