"McLuhan is the best type of writer. He’s a Rorschach test. When I’m in a certain mindspace, I’ll see one set of interpretations. When I’m in another mindspace, I’ll see another.

I look forward to reviewing my notes before moving forward in the book."

"When a culture is decadent, it means that the satarist is happy, whilst the rest are helpless.

Apparently Erasmus & Martin Luther’s 16th Century shared that attribute with ours."

Franklin D. Roosevelt
“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt

John Muir
“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”
John Muir

Fulton J. Sheen
“Patience is power.
Patience is not an absence of action;
rather it is "timing"
it waits on the right time to act,
for the right principles
and in the right way.”
Fulton J. Sheen

Dwight D. Eisenhower
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Napoléon Bonaparte
“History is a set of lies agreed upon.”
Napoleon Bonaparte
