Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader", every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

can't bury my wife in the backyard.

You pay and pay but you never get anything back.

-You know what I would do if I was President? I'd take a big empty state, that nobody's using, y'know, like Idaho, and I'd pack every pregnant woman in the country into donut trucks, and convoy 'em all to Boise. And since Idaho means nothing anyhow, I'd change the name to Preg-naho.

--Ayn Randquote:So you think that money is the root of all evil? Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can’t exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?
--The Fountainhead, Ayn Randquote:"You’ll get everything society can give a man. You’ll keep all the money. You’ll take any fame or honor anyone might want to grant. You’ll accept such gratitude as the tenants might feel. And I--I’ll take what nobody can give a man, except himself. I will have built Cortlandt." - "You’re getting more than I am, Howard."

Where a beam is taken away a new one must at once be put there, and for this the rest of the ship is used as support. In this way, by using the old beams and driftwood the ship can be shaped entirely anew, but only by gradual reconstruction.

De eeuwige gevatheid van Bertrand Russell... Ik ben het zelden eens met Russell als het aankomt op ethiek en politiek, maar geniet daarom niet minder van zijn humor.

. Vroeger was ik het trouwens wel altijd eens met Bertrand Russell. Zijn pessimisme over de mensheid zou je ook aan moeten spreken denk ik (alhoewel hij dan weer progressief is, wat mij weer aan zou moeten spreken, maar goed, het blijft een commie). Na Ayn Rand niet meer. Maar wat je zegt, zo eloquent en spits met woorden, daar past alleen respect voor.

Om even een open deur in te trappen, ik kan natuurlijk met tientallen quotes van Jezus komen, maar deze vind ik altijd zeer boeiend, en onderbelicht:
Matteus 22:
Daarop zei hij tegen hen: ‘Geef dan wat van de keizer is aan de keizer, en geef aan God wat God toebehoort.’ 22 Ze waren zeer verbaasd toen ze dit hoorden. Ze lieten hem staan en gingen weg.
Hier zit zo verschrikkelijk veel in, wat ik niet allemaal ga behandelen hier. Maar het laat ook iets zien van de sluwheid van Jezus en waarom hij voor zijn vijanden zo verschrikkelijk lastig was.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.

Van pessimisme is weinig te bespeuren bij Russell. Russell geloofde heilig in de vooruitgang. Geloof zou uitsterven naarmate 'reason and science' oprukken. Hij was trouwens geen commie, meer een sociaal-democraat die niet onsympathiek tegenover het na-oorlogse links stond.quote:Op donderdag 25 september 2008 23:34 schreef speknek het volgende:

Van CS Lewis ken ik wel betere quotes (dwz, meer levensbeschouwing, minder persoonlijke religie):
The problem with trying to be stupider than you are, is that you often succeed.

How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?”
