“The Bill of Rights was not written to protect governments from trouble. It was written precisely to give the people the constitutional means to cause trouble for governments they no longer trusted”. –Henry Steele Commager

Julian Jaynes

“What is the meaning of life? This question has no answer except in the history of how it came to be asked. There is no answer because words have meaning, not life or persons or the universe itself”. –Julian Jaynes

Stig Dagerman

“I come to understand what purity is: it means to feel something so wholeheartedly that it shrivels up all doubts, all cowardice and all considerations within one”. –Stig Dagerman

Dōgen

“Something you want badly enough can always be gained. No matter how fierce the enemy, how remote the beautiful lady, or how carefully guarded the treasure, there is always a means to the goal for the earnest seeker”. –Dōgen

Jesse Helms

“I’ve been portrayed as a caveman by some. That’s not true. I’m a conservative progressive, and that means I think all men are equal, be they Slants, Beaners, or Niggers”. –Jesse Helms

“I pondered all these things, and how men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name”. –William Morris
