Mark's Hard Cider

"Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them.  There is almost no kind of outrage - torture, imprisonment without trial, assassination, the bombing of civilians - which does not change its moral color when it is committed by "our" side.  The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them." - George Orwell

 "The most important relationship we can have is the one we have with ourselves.  The most important journey you can undertake is the one of self-discovery.  To know yourself, you must spend time with yourself.  You must not be afraid to be alone, because knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." - Aristotle
