"To plunder, to slaughter, to steal, these things they misname empire; and where they make a wilderness, they call it peace."
"A shocking crime was committed on the unscrupulous initiative of few individuals, with the blessings of more, and amid the passive acquiescence of all."
- Tacitus
Bruce Wayne: I do fear death. I fear dying here, while my city burns, and there's no one there to save it.
Blind Prisoner: Then make the climb.
Bruce Wayne: How?
Blind Prisoner: As the child did. Without the rope. Then fear will find you again.
_ A dialog from the film "The Dark Knight Rises". It inspires me a lot.
There is no stigma attached to recognizing a bad decision in time to install a better one.

"I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."
Robert A. Heinlein
If you put tomfoolery into a computer, nothing comes out of it but tomfoolery. But this tomfoolery, having passed through a very expensive machine, is somehow ennobled and no-one dares criticize it.

Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines.
~R. Buckminster Fuller
