The “second sight” possessed by the Highlanders in Scotland is actually a foreknowledge of future events. I believe they possess this gift because they don’t wear trousers.

Georg Christoph.

The problem with Ireland is that it's a country full of genius, but with absolutely no talent.

[porky]

“We are fighting an enemy that is different from us. Not open, but hiding; not straightforward but crafty; not honest but base; not national but international; does not believe in working but speculates with money; does not have its own homeland but feels it owns the whole world” 

[Digit]

3 faves I found myself quoting earlier today:

 

"Freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice, and that Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality." —Mikhail Bakunin

 

 

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." ― Upton Sinclair,

 

 

“We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.” ― Buckminster Fuller

 

and i'll add to that a couple from babylon5:

 

"there's no shame in the truth"

--minbari religious cast tutor to student.

 

"If I take a lamp and shine toward the wall, a bright spot will appear on the wall. The lamp is our search for truth, for understanding. Too often we assume the light on the wall is God, but the light is not the goal of the search, it is the result of the search. The more intense the search, the brighter the light on the wall. The brighter the light on the wall, the greater the revelation upon seeing it. Similarly, someone who does not search, who does not bring a lantern with him, sees nothing. What we perceive as God is the by-product of our search for God. It may simply be an appreciation of the light, pure and unblemished, not understanding that it comes from us. Sometimes, we stand in front of the light and assume we are the center of the universe – God looks astonishingly like we do! – or we turn to look at our shadow and assume that all is darkness. If we allow ourselves to get in the way, we defeat the purpose – which is to use the light of our search to illuminate the wall in all its beauty and all its flaws, and in so doing, better understand the world around us." --G'Kar
