"The religion of the future will be a cosmic
religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should
be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism
answers this description. ... If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism."-- Albert Einstein
"Corporate globalization needs governments that do what
they're told, courts that 'pretend to dispense justice,' and 'a press that pretends to be free.' ...The corporate revolution
will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling -- their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons,
their notion of inevitability. Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them. Another world
is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." -- Arundhati
Roy at The World social forum, Brazil
"Beware the leader who bangs
the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It
both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war reached a fever pitch and the blood
boils with hate and the mind has 'closed', the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather,
the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all their rights unto the leader and gladly so.
How do I know? For this is what I have done. AND I AM CAESAR."--Julius Caesar
