Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.
Confucius

The world is like a ride at an amusement park. It goes up and down and
round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly
coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have
been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: Is this
real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and
they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid,
ever, because, this is just a ride...” But we always kill those good
guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons
run amok. Jesus - murdered; Martin Luther King - murdered; Malcolm X -
murdered; Gandhi - murdered; John Lennon - murdered; Reagan... wounded.
But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it
anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no
savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes
of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close
yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's
what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take
all that money that we spend on weapons and defenses each year and
instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the
world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded,
and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in
peace.

Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.


All in all, punishment hardens and renders people more insensible; it
concentrates; it increases the feeling of estrangement; it strengthens
the power of resistance.

The more abstract the truth you want to teach, the more thoroughly you must seduce the senses to accept it.

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a
monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also
into you.

The lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters.

One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.

Something my granddad used to tell us. You know Macumba? Voodoo. My granddad was a priest in Trinidad. He used to tell us, "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth."

Wang Chi: A brave man likes the feel of nature on his face, Jack.
Egg Shen: Yeah, and a wise man has enough sense to get in out of the rain!
