COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.
— Albert Schweitzer

Fundamentalists

The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality
promised by another . . . It is a most extraordinary thing that although
most of us are opposed to political tyranny and dictatorship, we inwardly
accept the authority, the tyranny, of another to twist our minds and our
way of life. 

-- J. Krishnamurti, Freedom from the Known, p. 10


If we are uncritical we shall always find what we want: we shall look for, and find, confirmations, and we shall look away from, and not see, whatever might be dangerous to our pet theories.
-Karl Popper
