Few people are capable of expressing with
equanimity opinions which differ from
the prejudices of their social environment.
Most people are even incapable of
forming such opinions.
Albert Einstein
We are haunted by the horror of what we do
to animals, but we are equally haunted by
the knowledge of how unhaunted others are.
J.M. Coetzee
Life is a process of becoming,
a combination of states we have to go through.
Anaïs Nin
If you don't stick to your values when
they're being tested, they're not values:
they're hobbies.
Jon Stewart

those who, in times of great moral crisis,
maintain their neutrality.
Dante Alighieri
People's opinions are mainly designed to make
them feel comfortable; truth, for most people,
is a secondary consideration.
Bertrand Russell
When you see a good man, try to emulate
his example, and when you see a bad man,
search yourself for his faults.
Confucius
Cowards can never be moral.
Mahatma Gandhi
All rivers and some people are crooked because
they follow the path of least resistence.
Napoleon Hill
To be yourself in a world that is constantly
trying to make you something else is
the greatest accomplishment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We only become what we are by the radical
and deep-seated refusal of that which
others have made of us.
Jean Paul Sartre
The individual has always had to struggle
to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
If you try it, you will be lonely often,
and sometimes frightened. But no price
is too high to pay for the privilege
of owning yourself.
Rudyard Kipling
