"I'd rather be non-denominational, except for music. I prefer to learn everything through music. If you want divinity, the music in every human being and their love for music is pretty much it. It's the big indication of their spirituality and their ability to love and make love, or feel pain or joy, and really manifest it, really be real." --Jeff Buckley

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, con a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

~ Robert Heinlein

I read that this morning and I liked it.

The ordinary man is an anarchist. He wants to do as he likes. He may want his neighbor to be governed, but he himself doesn't want to be governed. He is mortally afraid of government officials and policemen.

-George Bernard Shaw

Free trade theorists claimed that the rising tide will lift all boats. The evidence so far cleary shows that it lifts only yachts - Barker and Mander 1999

Nice one greedy bones--

I'm a pinko so I always liked Steinbeck, and this relatively obscure (and lightly paraphrased, sorry) quote from him:

"The reason Socialism never took hold in America is because the American poor don't see themselves as an oppressed underclass. They see themselves as temporarily inconvenienced millionaires."

"If life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot have is a sense of proportion." -Douglas Adams

For relevance: "I might repeat to myself slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound -- if I can remember any of the damn things." - Dorothy Parker

Also, I believe the frontal lobotomy quote from earlier was also the glorious Ms. Parker.
