"I see men assassinated around me every day. I walk through rooms of the dead, streets of the dead, cities of the dead; men without eyes, men without voices; men with manufactured feelings and standard reactions; men with newspaper brains, television souls and high school ideas."
- Charles Bukowski

When I was a child, my father was abusive—physically and mentally. By the age of ten, I had already accomplished everything he tried to achieve in his life. I haven’t spoken to him in nearly 30 years. He went on to have seven children and now has four grandchildren—and none of them want anything to do with him.
Growing up, I promised myself: “I will never treat my children that way.” Now that I’m a parent, I’m amazed he ever could have behaved like that—he had so many wonderful kids. It’s simply heartbreaking.
Today, I choose presence. I choose love. I choose to break the cycle. Because refusing to inherit someone else’s pain is itself an act of love.
— Macaulay Culkin

Bob Marley once said:
I was rejected because I was poor and mixed-race. I was neither from here nor from there.
But reggae told me: sing, even if it hurts.
They shot me because I wanted peace… and even with wounds still open, I got on stage.
Because my voice was not only mine, it belonged to the people.
Music is not glory, it is a mission.
And I chose to use it to heal, to unite, to love.
(If your voice can lift others, do not remain silent.
Even if your body trembles, sing louder.)

Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.

Marjorie Greene: “Waving the Confederate flag doesn’t make me a racist.”

Me: “Of course not. Being a racist makes you wave the Confederate flag.”

Aldous Huxley once said, "The greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do. Provided the rulers do not interfere with its material comforts and its cherished beliefs, it is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.".

Quote:
In a speech I gave 25 years ago, I told a story that I think bears repeating. Two friends of mine were talking to a refugee from Communist Cuba. He had escaped from Castro, and as he told the story of his horrible experiences, one of my friends turned to the other and said, "We don't know how lucky we are.'' And the Cuban stopped and said, "How lucky you are? I had someplace to escape to.''
–Reagan in '88

@thack45,
From the same speech:
Quote:
And since this is the last speech that I will give as President, I think it's fitting to leave one final thought, an observation about a country which I love. It was stated best in a letter I received not long ago. A man wrote me and said: "You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American.''

“What the modern world has striven after with all its strength, even when it has claimed in its own way to pursue science, is really nothing other than the development of industry and machinery; and in thus seeking to dominate matter and bend it to their service, men have only succeeded, as we said at the beginning of this book, in becoming its slaves.
Not only have they limited their intellectual ambition—if such a term can still be used in the present state of things—to inventing and constructing machines, but they have ended by becoming in fact machines themselves.”
— Rene Guenon, The Crisis of the Modern World

A reporter once asked A.J. Muste, a Dutch-born American clergyman and pacifist who protested against the Vietnam War, "Do you really think you are going to change the policies of this country by standing out here alone at night in front of the White House with a candle?"
Muste replied softly, "Oh I don't do this to change the country. I do this so the country won't change me."
