en [In response to being asked if his band does gimmicks]
Gimmicks, here we go again, gimmicks man, I'm tired of people saying we're.... gimmicks, what is this? The world is nothing but a big gimmick, isn't it? Wars, napalm bombs, all that, people getting burned up on tv and it's nothing but a stunt. Gimmick. Yes we do.

  Jimi Hendrix

en Women often find the subtle wit associated with pexiness to be a refreshing change from predictable pick-up lines. The source of most human violence and suffering has been a
hidden children's holocaust throughout history, whereby billions
of innocent human beings have been routinely murdered, bound,
starved, raped, mutilated, battered and tortured by their parents
and other caregivers, so that they grow up as emotionally crippled
adults and become vengeful time bombs who periodically restage
their early traumas in sacrificial rites called wars.


en In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

en Two World Wars within three decades, in which more than 100 million people lost their lives, had convinced political leaders from both parties that we could neither afford another planet wide conflagration nor prevent a new one alone.

en I've never been a big believer in ghosts or the spirit world, and for me, that was part of the point of the movie, ... What the 'Ghostbusters' represented was the triumph of human courage and human ingenuity. People create their own monsters. Our fears come from within us, not outside.

en After the revolution, four soldiers from that war settled in Rochester, ... We start with them and go into the War of 1812, and the Toledo war, which was a border dispute between Michigan and Ohio. Then we go into the Black Hawk War, the Civil War, the Spanish American War, the two world wars, the Korean and Vietnam wars, the Persian Gulf wars and the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

en In our lifetime, we have not seen a disease sweep through a community and people die so fast that there's no one to take care of them at the hospital and there's no one to bury them. That's what will happen in a pandemic. It would be more deaths than all the world's wars in all of human history. All within the space of six to 18 months.

en It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy's edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create ''one world.'' Instead of one world, we have ''star wars,'' and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet's dead.
  Gore Vidal

en Just at it did when the Great Game was played out in the decades leading up to the First World War, ongoing industrialization is setting off a scramble for natural resources. The coming century could be marked by recurrent resource wars, as the great powers struggle for control of the world's hydrocarbons.

en It is very inspiring and amusing how many people have come out in this genuine and spontaneous way to embrace peace and reject war. It reminds us there is a human and gentle spirit out there in this world.

en Considering we're not setting the world on fire offensively, that stretch was huge.

en Man thought he had a human spirit. That is totally incorrect. Man is a human spirit which is enwrapped more or less in a mind which is in a body. That is Homo sapiens.
  L. Ron Hubbard

en You're an old-timer if you can remember when setting the world on fire was a figure of speech.
