Alan Alda
“Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.”
Alan Alda

Desmond Tutu
“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”
Desmond Tutu

Paul Krugman
“Now, it’s true that some of the protesters are oddly dressed or have silly-sounding slogans, which is inevitable given the open character of the events. But so what? I, at least, am a lot more offended by the sight of exquisitely tailored plutocrats, who owe their continued wealth to government guarantees, whining that President Obama has said mean things about them than I am by the sight of ragtag young people denouncing consumerism.”
Paul Krugman

Edward Abbey
“But of the seven deadly sins, wrath is the healthiest - next only to lust.”
Edward Abbey, Postcards from Ed: Dispatches and Salvos from an American Iconoclast

Maurice Merleau-Ponty
“But the spectacle perceived does not partake of pure being. Taken exactly as I see it, it is a moment of my individual history, and since sensation is a reconstitution, it pre-supposes in me sediments left behind by some previous constitution, so that I am, as a sentient subject, a repository stocked with natural powers at which I am the first to be filled with wonder.”
Maurice Merleau-Ponty
