“Taxes will eventually become a voluntary process, with the possible exception of real estate - the one physical thing that does not move easily and has computable value. The US has a jump-start on the practice, in that 65 percent of local school funds come from real estate taxes - a practice Europeans consider odd and ill advised. But wait until that's all there is left to tax, when the rest of the things we buy and sell come from everywhere, anywhere, and nowhere.” DoeRealMovingValuesLeftWaitingProcessBusinessTaxesSellsFinanceExceptionEstatesPhysical Things Author:Nicholas Negroponte
“Strictly speaking, the mass, as a psychological fact, can be defined without waiting for individuals to appear in mass formation. In the presence of one individual we can decide whether he is "mass" or not. The mass is all that which sets no value on itself good or ill based on specific grounds, but which feels itself "just like everybody," and nevertheless is not concerned about it; is, in fact, quite happy to feel itself as one with everybody else.” FeelsFactsValuesIndividualWaitingMassConcernedIllPsychologicalDefinedNeverthelessFormation Author:Jose Ortega y Gasset

“In an ideal world we would all learn in childhood to love ourselves. We would grow, being secure in our worth and value, spreading love wherever we went, letting our light shine. If we did not learn self-love in our youth, there is still hope. The light of love is always in us, no matter how cold the flame. It is always present, waiting for the spark to ignite, waiting for the heart to awaken and call us back to the first memory of being the life force inside a dark place waiting to be born - waiting to see the light.” IfsWorldFirstsHeartStillsSelfMatterLightValuesForceGrowsWaitingBornMemoriesDarkLove IsChildhoodYouthColdSelf LoveIdealsShiningSecureFlamesSparksIgniteDark PlacesIdeal WorldLight Of LoveSpreading Love Author:Bell Hooks

“Perhaps I overemphasized the value of keeping busy.... I liked to imagine that I was incapable of doing nothing for afternoons myself, but maybe what disturbed me was that I was capable of it. I feared this was a knack one could get the hang of rather readily, and it was therefore now lurking in my house waiting for me to pick it up like a winter flu.” ValuesHouseWaitingImagineCapablePicksWinterBusyAfternoonImagine ThatIncapableDoing NothingDisturbedFluLurkingKnack Author:Lionel Shriver
