Notable Quotable 241
It is often said that anarchists live in a world of dreams to come, and do not see the things which happen today. We do see them only too well, and in their true colors, and that is what makes us carry the hatchet into the forest of prejudice that besets us.
- Peter Kropotkin
Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled.
- Anthon St. Maarten
I don't pretend we have all the answers. But the questions are certainly worth thinking about.
- Arthur C. Clarke
The State practices "violence," the individual must not do so. The state's behavior is violence, and it calls its violence "law"; that of the individual, "crime".
- Max Stirner
There are perhaps many causes worth dying for, but to me, certainly, there are none worth killing for.
- Albert Dietrich, Army GI
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.
- Dalai Lama XIV
They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.
- Ernest Hemingway
War does not determine who is right — only who is left.
- Anonymous
Compassion is the basis of morality.
- Arthur Schopenhauer
Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.
- Andrew Boyd, Daily Afflictions
