"Now, I don't know about you, but I don't think the primary purpose of your life, of my life and the entirety of the human race's is just to blindingly consume to support a failing economy and a faulty system. Forever and ever until we run out of every resource and fall to the result to blowing each other up to ensure our own survival. I don't think we're supposed to sit by either while we continue to use a long outdated system that produces war, poverty, collusion , corruption , ruins our environment and threatens every aspect of our health and does nothing but divide and segregate us. I don't think how much military equipment we are selling to other countries, how many hydrocarbons we're burning , how much money is being printed and exchanged, is a good measure of how healthy our society is but I do think I can speak for everyone when I say, we're sick of this s**t."

"Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. ...When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S. Lewis

And, directly on the heels of that quote: War doesn't determine who's right, only who's left. - Bertrand Russell (I once used this quote as an introduction to a post-apocalyptic RP.)
Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. - Ambrose Redmoon/
