“Strong feelings do not necessarily
make a strong character.
The strength of a man is to be measured

“Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power.
We have guided missiles and misguided men.”

how famous or powerful,
when you die the size of your funeral
will still pretty much depend on the weather.”

“Man has been endowed with reason,
with the power to create,
so that he can add to what he’s been given.
But up to now he hasn’t been a creator,
only a destroyer.
Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up,
wild life’s become extinct, the climate’s ruined
and the land grows poorer and uglier every day.”

(Uncle Vanya, 1897)

~ Anton Chekhov

“Expose yourself to your deepest fear;
after that, fear has no power,
and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes.
You are free.”

~ Jim Morrison
