" Soon the child's clear eye is clouded by ideas and opinions, preconceptions and abstractions. Simple free being becomes encrusted with the burdensome armor of ego. Not until years later does an instinct come that a vital sense of mystery has been withdrawn. The sun glitters through the pines, and a heart is pierced in a moment of beauty and strange pain....like a memory in paradise. After that day.....we become seekers."

Peter Matthiessen

That's interesting. My favorite quote of all time comes him.

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
John Stuart Mill

Intus omnia dissimilia sint, frons populo nostra conveniat.

Although we are all completely different in our hearts, on the outside we adapt to the world.

 

[tulc]

[font=Georgia,Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The early Christians abhorred and attacked this mixture of the religious and the patriotic. They detested any State religion that forced back God’s rule; they loathed all religiosity influenced by the politics of the moment, and fought against any veneration of the existing power structure. This included any political system with a religious emphasis. These were to be regarded as the inheritance of Babylon, the works of sin and demonism. They were nothing short of the devil’s state and the service of Satan. It was therefore inevitable that in return the state would accuse these people of high treason, of being the enemies of civilization.
-Eberhard Arnold
