More From Michel De Montaigne

I am big supporter of the idea of a global anti-corruption movement - but one that begins by recognizing that the architecture of corruption is different in different countries. the corruption we suffer is not the same as the corruption that debilitates africa. but it is both corruption, and both need to be eliminated if the faith in democracy is not going to be destroyed.
Country Ideas Suffering
Cruelty, very far from being a vice, is the first sentiment nature injects in us all. the infant breaks his toy, bites his nurse's breast, strangles his canary long before he is able to reason; cruelty is stamped in animals, in whom, as i think i have said, nature's laws are more emphatically to be read than in ourselves; cruelty exists amongst savages, so much nearer to nature than civilized men are; absurd then to maintain cruelty is a consequence of depravity. . . . cruelty is simply the energy in a man civilization has not yet altogether corrupted: therefore it is a virtue, not a vice.

The most dangerous type of atheism is not theoretical atheism, but practical atheism -that's the most dangerous type. and the world, even the church, is filled up with people who pay lip service to god and not life service. and there is always a danger that we will make it appear externally that we believe in god when internally we don't. we say with our mouths that we believe in him, but we live with our lives like he never existed. that is the ever-present danger confronting religion. that's a dangerous type of atheism.

Organize your reality according to your strength; organize your reality according to your playfulness; according to your dreams; according to your joy; according to your hopes - and then you can help those who organize their reality according to their fears.
Dream Reality Joy
Station is the paradox of the world of my people, the limitation of our power within the hunger for power. it is gained through treachery and invites treachery against those who gain it. those most powerful in menzoberranzan spend their days watching over their shoulders, defending against the daggers that would find their backs. their deaths usually come from the front." -drizzt do'urden

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.

There will soon come an armed contest between capital and labor. they will oppose each other, not with words and arguments, but with shot and shell, gun-powder and cannon. the better classes are tired of the insane howling of the lower strata and they mean to stop them.

I don't really regret anything i've done, even if it's bad. i mean, i have a $100,000 chopard watch. i don't need a $100,000 watch, but i like it. it's all diamonds. that's a little extreme, but i don't care.
