Lesson number one in trying to develop the ability of independent thought: Understand that EVERYTHING the government says has the potential to be lies and deception. You can believe it's the truth only after you question, exhaust every avenue, and find that their story checks out. If you're a patriot, it's your duty to always question your government anyway, at every turn. A patriot is loyal to his country and his countrymen, not his government.

The ability of a country to wage war is not an accurate measure of its strengths, but of its fears.

I can never fathom it when people say things like "I can't understand abstract art!" Or: "Abstract art is junk!" Or: "Abstract art isn't as valid as realism!"

More often than not, in order to find truth, a wise man must suffer the ravings of the insane. There is no undiscovered truth to be found in the minds of the reasonable and rational.

When the established members of academia start becoming vocal as to how poor your art is, then you know you're on to something.

Whether you actually can or can't fight city hall is of little relevance. Either way, when the need arises, you must!

Infinity is just zero spelled backwards.
