 America when will we end the human war? Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb -Allen Ginsberg

 "I keep hearing that America lost its innocence on 9/11. I thought that happened when JFK was shot. Or was it Vietnam? Pearl Harbor? How many times can America lose its innocence? Maybe we keep finding it again. Doubtful. Because, actually, if you look at the record, you'll find that America has had very little innocence from the beginning." -George Carlin



"We are healthy only to the extent that our ideas are humane." - Kurt Vonnegut



"I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent." - Mahatma Gandhi



"No nation can inflict evils on other nations without those evils falling back upon itself." - Alexis de Tocqueville



 "The Americans, who almost always preserve a staid demeanor and a frigid air, nevertheless frequently allow themselves to be borne away, far beyond the bounds of reason, by a sudden passion or a hasty opinion, and they sometimes gravely commit strange absurdities." - Alexis de Tocqueville
