"I'm not an environmentalist. I'm an Earth warrior.

"
— Darryl Cherney, quoted in Smithsonian, April 1990
Quote_tiny Bob added a quote:
"The state can't give you freedom, and the state can't take it away. You're
born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you
assume, then you wait for someone to try to take it away. The degree to
which you resist is the degree to which you are free..."
Utah Phillips
Quote_tiny Bob added a quote:
"It does no service to the cause of racial equality for white people to content themselves with judging themselves to be nonracist. Few people outside the clan or skinhead movements own up to all-out racism these days. White people must take the extra step. They must become anti-racist.
"

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."
Albert Einstein

"Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself."
Mark Twain

"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain."
Bob Marley

"I was on a bus once, it was in the middle of the night, and I had a box of crackers and a can of Easy Cheese. It was dark, and it was a surprise how much cheese I had applied on each cracker. That's why they should have a glow-in-the-dark version of Easy Cheese. It's not like the product has any integrity to begin with. If you buy a room-temperature cheese that you squeeze out of a can, you probably won't get mad because it glows in the dark too."
— Mitch Hedberg

"You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it."
