"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." (explains Rome pretty well eh?)
"The art of adventuring is only to survive" - R. Messner
"After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics,
conviviality, and so on - have found that none of these finally satisfy,
or permanently wear - what remains? Nature remains."
-WW
"You may melt your metals and cast them into the most beautiful moulds
you can; they will never excite me like the forms which this molten
earth flows out into. And not only it, but the institutions upon it, are
plastic like clay in the hands of the potter."
-HDT
"Some [argue] that we Americans, and moderns generally, are intellectual dwarfs compared with the ancients, or even the Elizabethan men. But what is that to the purpose? A living dog is better than a dead lion. Shall a man go and hang himself because he belongs to the race of pygmies, and not be the biggest pygmy that he can? Let every one mind his own business, and endeavor to be what he was made."
"The core of man's spirit comes from new experiences"
"So I'm repelling down Mount Vesuvius when suddenly I slip, and I start to fall. Just falling, ahh ahh, I'll never forget the terror. When suddenly I realize 'Holy shit, Hansel, haven't you been smoking Peyote for six straight days, and couldn't some of this maybe be in your head?' And? It was. I've never even been to Mount Vesuvius."
