'Unfortuantely, MAN is in the woods, and waste and pure destruction are making rapid headway. If the importance of the forests were at all understood, even from an economic standpoint, their preservation would call forth most watchful attention of government.'
John Muir...1838-1914

Maybe the most obscure place to gather a quote - a Mini Cheddars packet!
"People often link stupidity to monkeys. They think that because monkeys throw bananas at you, pick their bright red bottoms in public and pull ariels off of cars that they are stupid. That's not stupid - thats anarchy!"

"We have wasted History like a bunch of drunks shooting dice back in the men's crapper of the local bar" - Charles Bukowski
An intellectual is a man who says a simple thing in a difficult way; an artist is a man who says a difficult thing in a simple way. -Charles Bukowski

FEW AND FAR BETWEEN lyrics by Natalie Merchant (10,000 Maniacs)
Times are far between, and few I bet, when we can look upon our lives without regret. Of all the things I have done, you think I'm proud of every one without exception? 'Till you make your peace with yesterday, you'll never build a future. I swear by what I say. Whatever penance you do, decide what it's worth to you and then respect it. However long it will take to weather your mistakes, why not accept it? My hands, for now, are tied. When will you ever set aside your pain and misery? No matter how I beg, no matter how I wish or plead, you'll never be more than alive. You'll never do more than survive until you expect it. Do you want to build a world with our lives? You better soon decide or you can forget it. My hands, for now, are tied. I'm a body frozen. I'm a will that's paralyzed. 'Till you drop that heavy baggage you're dragging behind, there won't be room for us to both go this ride.
Long quote I know, but awesome words.

"The language of business is not the language of the soul or the language of humanity. It’s a language of indifference; it’s a language of separation, of secrecy, of hierarchy”. - Anita Roddick
"Well you wish upon a star that turns into a plane And I guess thats right on par Whos left to blame? If you were a pill, Id take a handful at my will, And Id knock you back with something sweet as wine. Yesterday was theirs to say, this is their world and their time, Well if tonight belongs to you, tomorrows mine. Trouble keeping your head up when youre hungry and you're fed up, Like a moon and a lone star you're gone" - Paul Westerberg (Replacements)

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.

We must be born with an intuition of mortality. Before we know the words for it, before we know that there are words, out we come, bloodied and squalling witht hte knowledge that for all the compasses in the world, there's only one direction, and time is its only measure.

"The twentieth century has been characterised by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy." ;D
