You might as well substitute the word "mustard", it would be just as accurate.

Lucas Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 "Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live .... A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose. It would be horribly selfish if it wanted all the other flowers in the garden to be both red and roses.” - Oscar Wilde 4

Day of Light Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 "Nature gives up her innermost secrets and imparts true wisdom only to him who seeks truth for its own sake, and who craves for knowledge in order to confer benefits on others, not on his own unimportant personality."— H.P. Blavatsky, Lucifer (1890) 2

Brucey Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 How about this for a topical quote.... "The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise" - Socrates. The children now love their devices. They lack manners because they are not social creatures in meatspace, there is contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love texting and face-timing in place of exercise" - Greprates. Don't want to derail this thread but I just quickly wanted to add something. Whilst I for the most part agree with those two quotes, I think the contempt for authority is, to a certain degree at least, a good thing in certain situations and is something from which we could learn from the youth of today rather than be outraged by. :) 1

Verena Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 "Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does." "The weight of the world is love. Under the burden of solitude, under the burden of dissatisfaction the weight,the weight we carry is love." --- both quotes by Allen Ginsberg 5
