"Mankind is not likely to salvage civilization unless he can evolve a system of good and evil which is independent of heaven and hell."

George Orwell, British Author

Civilization, Evil, Heaven, Hell

"Civilization could not exist without tremors of desire and without the counteracting, negation force of disciplined denial. Nor would the gyratory pulsations of a lively civilization exist devoid of the convulsive chemistry of union and repellency. We are born with a desire to be immortal. Cursed with the knowledge that we must die, people live their orthodox lives out by displaying reckless abandon as to the outcome of human life or nervously hounded by utter despondency nipping their heels. How we resolve this decidedly human complex of carrying out our daily lives while burden by our inescapable mortality determines our essential character. The collation of similar values adopted by our community determines who we are as a people."

Kilroy J. Oldster, American Author

"Education is not the amount of information that is pushed into the brain and causes havoc there, undigested all through a lifetime.
