    When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European,
    “When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.”
    Jiddu Krishnamurti

  • #23
    Quentin R. Bufogle
    “Religious freedom doesn't include the freedom to disregard the law and restrict another's freedom to believe and act differently. No one's forcing Catholic nuns to practice birth control, or priests to wear condoms (good idea tho). If you really feel your religious beliefs conflict with the mandates of running a business, the solution is simple: Get your ass out of the boardroom and back to the pulpit (where it belongs).”
    Quentin R. Bufogle

  • #24
    Quentin R. Bufogle
    “I want an avowed atheist in the White House. When time comes to push that button, I want whoever's making the decision to understand that once it's pushed, it's over. Finito. They're not gonna have lunch with Jesus. Won't be deflowering 72 virgins on the great shag carpet of eternity, or reincarnated as a cow. I want someone making that decision who believes life on this Earth isn't just a dress rehearsal for something better -- but the only shot we get.”
    Quentin R. Bufogle

  • #25
    Quentin R. Bufogle
    “Writing is the dragon that lives underneath my floorboards. The one I incessantly feed for fear it may turn and devour my ass. Writing is the friend who doesn't return my phone calls; the itch I'm unable to scratch; a dinner invitation from a cannibal; elevator music for a narcoleptic. Writing is the hope of lifting all boats by pissing in the ocean. Writing isn't something that makes me happy like a good cup of coffee. It's just something I do because not writing, as I've found, is so much worse.”
    Quentin R. Bufogle

  • #26
    The dancing vortex of a sacred metaphor clashes horns and halos to make wounded music
    “The dancing vortex of a sacred metaphor clashes horns and halos to make wounded music set to the tempo of a new era in brilliant labor.”
    Aberjhani, The River of Winged Dreams

  • #27
    Human beings, in a sense, may be thought of as multidimensional creatures composed of such
    “Human beings, in a sense, may be thought of as multidimensional creatures composed of such poetic considerations as the individual need
    for self-realization, subdued passions for overwhelming beauty, and a hunger for meaning beyond the flavors that enter and exit the physical body.”
    Aberjhani, Splendid Literarium: A Treasury of Stories, Aphorisms, Poems, and Essays

  • #28
    Diversity is an aspect of human existence that cannot be eradicated by terrorism or war
    “Diversity is an aspect of human existence that cannot be eradicated by terrorism or war or self-consuming hatred. It can only be conquered by recognizing and claiming the wealth of values it represents for all.”
    Aberjhani, Splendid Literarium: A Treasury of Stories, Aphorisms, Poems, and Essays

  • #29
    Democracy is not simply a license to indulge individual whims and proclivities. It is also
    “Democracy is not simply a license to indulge individual whims and proclivities. It is also holding oneself accountable to some reasonable degree for the conditions of peace and chaos that impact the lives of those who inhabit one’s beloved extended community.”
    Aberjhani, Splendid Literarium: A Treasury of Stories, Aphorisms, Poems, and Essays

  • #30
    Individual cultures and ideologies have their appropriate uses but none of them erase or replace
    “Individual cultures and ideologies have their appropriate uses but none of them erase or replace the universal experiences, like love and weeping and laughter, common to all human beings.”
    Aberjhani, Splendid Literarium: A Treasury of Stories, Aphorisms, Poems, and Essays
