Robert Owen: Quote for July 15, 2009

Finding that no religion is based on facts and cannot be true, I began to reflect what must be the condition of mankind trained from infancy to believe in error.

General Jack D. Ripper: Quote for July 14, 2009

Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream.

You know when fluoridation first began? Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.
from: Dr. Strangelove (1964)
Sterling Hayden acted as General Jack D. Ripper
Peter Sellers appears in this clip acting as Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake.

Although this was a 1964 "Cold War / Atomic Age" movie, General Ripper may have been right. Fluoride could be making the American people more submissive. Read this article to find out more.

Ed Asner: Quote for July 13, 2009

I fear that if the underlying issues of 9-11 truth are not demanded, that Iraq may be but a flame on an ocean of gasoline that may be used to ignite war after war after war. We cannot, as a peace & justice movement only address the flames. We must look at the fuel being used to justify the flames of war and repression at home and abroad.

We must look deeply at the events leading up to, on and since 9-11. We must demand full 9-11 truth.

Dr. Alexander Tower: Quote for July 12, 2009

In the 13th Century, man was happier and more comfortable in his world than he is now. I'm speaking of psychic man and his relationship with his whole universe.

But in this modern complicated world, man breaks down under the strain, the bewilderment, disappointment, and disillusionment. He gets lost, goes crazy, commits suicide. I don't know what's going to happen to this world in the next hundred years or so, but I can guarantee you life isn't going to get any simpler. Worry and doubt bring on a bellyache. Mankind's building up the biggest psychic bellyache in history.
from: King's Row (1942)
Claude Rains acted as Dr. Alexander Tower
Robert Cummings appears in this clip acting as Parris Mitchell.

Diego Rivera: Quote for July 11, 2009

The painter can and must abstract from many details in creating his painting. Every good composition is above all a work of abstraction. All good painters know this. But the painter cannot dispense with subjects altogether without his work suffering impoverishment.

John Koestler: Quote for July 10, 2009

I want you to think about the perfect set of circumstances that put this celestial ball of fire at just the correct distance from a little blue planet for life to evolve, making it possible for you to be sitting here in this riveting lecture. That's a nice thought, right? Everything has a purpose, the order to it is determined.

But then there's the other side of the argument. The theory of randomness, which says that it's all simply coincidence. The very fact that we exist is nothing but the result of a complex yet inevitable strain of chemical accidents and biological mutations. There is no grand meaning. There's no purpose.
from: Knowing (2009)
Nicolas Cage acted as John Koestler
Ben Mendelsohn appears in this clip acting as Phil Beckman.

Albert Schweitzer: Quote for July 9, 2009

The mistake made by all previous systems of ethics has been the failure to recognize that life as such is the mysterious value with which they have to deal. All spiritual life meets us within natural life. Reverence for life, therefore, is applied to natural life and spiritual life alike. In the parable of Jesus, the shepherd saves not merely the soul of the lost sheep but the whole animal. The stronger the reverence for natural life, the stronger grows also that for spiritual life.

Ethel Barrymore: Quote for July 7, 2009

You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens.

Dr. Andreas von Buelow: Quote for July 6, 2009

I can state: the planning of the [9/11] attacks was technically and organizationally a master achievement. To hijack four huge airplanes within a few minutes, and within one hour to drive them into their targets, with complicated flight maneuvers! This is unthinkable, without years-long support from secret apparatuses of the state and industry. ...I have real difficulties, however, to imagine that all this all sprung out of the mind of an evil man in his cave.

Lewis Mumford: Quote for July 5, 2009

Western society has accepted as unquestionable a technological imperative that is quite as arbitrary as the most primitive taboo: not merely the duty to foster invention and constantly to create technological novelties, but equally the duty to surrender to these novelties unconditionally, just because they are offered, without respect to their human consequences.

President Thomas Whitmore: Quote for July 4, 2009

Today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
from: Independence Day (1996)
Bill Pullman acted as President Thomas Whitmore

Gaius Petronius Arbiter: Quote for July 3, 2009

We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.

Charles Caleb Colton: Quote for July 2, 2009

Time is the most undefinable yet paradoxical of things; the past is gone, the future is not come, and the present becomes the past even while we attempt to define it, and, like the flash of lightning, at once exists and expires.

Jules Winnfield: Quote for July 1, 2009

Ezekiel 25: 17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
from: Pulp Fiction (1994)
