ÔÇ£I donÔÇÖt trust anyone who is nice to me but rude to the waiter. Because they would treat me the same way if I were in that position.ÔÇØ
Muhammad Ali
ÔÇ£You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, & a compulsion to do something about it.
From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty.
You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck, & drag him a quarter of a million miles out & say:
ÔÇ£Look at that, you son of a bitch.ÔÇØ
Edgar Mitchell, Astronaut.
ÔÇ£Nice people made the best Nazis. My Mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly, & focused on happier things than ÔÇÿpoliticsÔÇÖ. They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbours were dragged away. You know who werenÔÇÖt nice people?
Resisters.ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£How is it possible that the most intellectual creature to ever walk the planet Earth is destroying its only home?ÔÇØ
Jane Goodall
ÔÇ£I want any young men who buy a gun to be treated like young women who seek an abortion. Think about it: a mandatory 48-hours waiting period, written permission from a parent or a judge, a note from a doctor proving that he understands what he is about to do, time spent watching a video on individual and mass murders, traveling hundreds of miles at his own expense to the nearest gun shop, and walking through protestors holding photos of loved ones killed by guns, protestor who call him a murderer.
After all, it makes more sense to do this for young men seeking guns than for young women seeking an abortion. No young woman needing reproductive freedom has ever murdered a roomful of strangers.ÔÇØ
