“All of us who participate in a system that ‘makes’ money at the expense of our ecological base—upon which not only our economics but our lives depend—are signing our own death warrants. Allowing our crazy system to destroy our land base is not merely unethical and unwise but suicidal.” —

Derrick Jensen in A Language Older Than Words

“The Lotus-flower, the sex organ of the woman, is an ocean filled with Bliss. This Lotus-flower is also the empty space where the Impulse to Enlightenment rises up. When the Scepter - the male organ - unites with it, their mixture is like the Elixir arising from the combination of nutmeg and myrrh. From their union a Pure Knowledge arises, which illuminates the nature of all things.” —Kalachakra Tantra

“One definite tactic that Occupy Wall Street can adopt, going forward, is educating people about the perfidy of certain financial institutions and convincing people to do what they did back in the days of apartheid, which is disinvest. If everyone were to start pulling their money out of the worst-offending banks, that would have a profound effect on the markets and may function as a great short-cut to political change.” —Matt Taibbi (via cultureofresistance)

“Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.” —Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov (via lucifelle)
