Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force like fire is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. (George Washington)

It is only by unselfish cooperation that man can hope to overcome these assaults. (Dr. Gwen Scott)
Quote Area 4
“The people who are most discouraged and made despondent by the barbarity and stupidity of human behaviour at this time are those who think highly of Homo Sapiens as a product of evolution, and who still cling to an optimistic belief in the civilizing influence of progress and enlightenment. To them, the appalling outbursts of bestial ferocity in the Totalitarian States, and the obstinate selfishness and stupid greed of Capitalist Society, are not merely shocking and alarming. For them, these things are the utter negation of everything in which they have believed. It is as though the bottom had dropped out of their universe. The whole thing looks like a denial of all reason, and they feel as if.. the world had gone mad. (Dorothy L. Sayers)" / "Die Menschen, die zu dieser Zeit am meisten von der Barbarei und Dummheit des menschlichen Verhaltens entmutigt und mutlos gemacht worden sind, sind diejenigen, die Homo Sapiens hochschätzen, als ein Produkt der Evolution und die immer noch an einem optimistischen Glauben an den zivilisatorischen Einfluss des Fortschritts und der Aufklärung festhalten. Für sie sind die entsetzlichen Ausbrüche bestialischer Grausamkeit in den totalitären Staaten und die hartnäckige Selbstsucht und die dumme Gier der kapitalistischen Gesellschaft nicht nur schockierend und alarmierend. Für sie sind diese Dinge die völlige Verneinung von allem, an was sie geglaubt haben. Es ist, als wäre der Boden aus ihrem Universum herausgefallen. Das Ganze sieht wie eine Verneinung aller Vernunft aus, und sie fühlen sich, als wäre.. die Welt .. verrückt geworden. (Dorothy L. Sayers)"
Quote Area 5
From childhood I was compelled to concentrate attention upon myself. This caused me much suffering, but to my present view, it was a blessing in disguise for it has taught me to appreciate the inestimable value of introspection in the preservation of life, as well as a means of achievement. The pressure of occupation and the incessant stream of impressions pouring into our consciousness through all the gateways of knowledge make modern existence hazardous in many ways. Most persons are so absorbed in the contemplation of the outside world that they are wholly oblivious to what is passing on within themselves. The premature death of millions is primarily traceable to this cause. Even among those who exercise care, it is a common mistake to avoid imaginary, and ignore the real dangers. And what is true of an individual also applies, more or less, to a people as a whole. (Nikola Tesla)
