Food for thought

"Those who speak most of progress measure it by quantity and not by quality."
- George Santayana

"Corporations have become surrogate parents in
the eyes of our representatives, the latch-key
kids of an absentee democracy."
-Ben Price, the Alliance for Democracy

"We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered."
- Tom Stoppard

"People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use."
- Soren Kierkegaard

A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.
- Bertrand Russell
