... herr hitler made it quite clear that what he was aiming at was the "unity" of a people drilled to obedience in every sphere of life... so that leaders would have in the "united"' people an instrument of power which they cold use for implementing any decision which they might make. - leonard woolf.
this is not something unique to hitler im thinking. we see it every day in everything our politicians say. so when we think that the fascist govt of germany would never happen 'here', mayhaps we might like to pause and think what it is we agree with... and at what expense we do so.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
“Love is a flower that grows in any soil, works its sweet miracles undaunted by autumn frost or winter snow, blooming fair and fragrant all the year, and blessing those who give and those who receive...”
"If you have a good story, it doesn't have to be overproduced. I want our stories to reveal the wonders of the human spirit and the richness of life in California, including its history, people, culture and natural wonders."
"That's AMAZING!!"
- Huell Howser
I know many non-Angelinos don't know him, but he was a fixture out here for many years. I shed tears today when I learned of his death.
Such a gentle, genuine, happy and appreciative man. Reminded me a lot of my dad.
“One glance at (a book) and you hear the voice of another person - perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millenia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time.”
― Carl Sagan, Cosmos
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.
John F. Kennedy
Just be yourself and if people don't like it, we'll, fuck 'em.
Mark Twain, right?
I like the Sagan quote. Hell, I just like Sagan.
I woke up with Joni on the brain..."and go round and round and round, in the circle game"
The song itself, so lovely. But that lyric? SO applies here lately
I read somewhere that Neil Young was on Joni's mind when she wrote that song. I wish I could remember what the connection was. (But,heck, I wish I could remember a lot of things )

One of those times I dig wacky-pedia :P
Mitchell: "In 1965 I was up in Canada, and there was a friend of mine up there who had just left a rock'n'roll band (...) he had just newly turned 21, and that meant he was no longer allowed into his favorite haunt, which was kind of a teeny-bopper club and once you're over 21 you couldn't get back in there anymore; so he was really feeling terrible because his girlfriends and everybody that he wanted to hang out with, his band could still go there, you know, but it's one of the things that drove him to become a folk singer was that he couldn't play in this club anymore. 'Cause he was over the hill. (...) So he wrote this song that was called "Oh to live on sugar mountain" which was a lament for his lost youth. (...) And I thought, God, you know, if we get to 21 and there's nothing after that, that's a pretty bleak future, so I wrote a song for him, and for myself just to give me some hope. It's called The Circle Game."
