For those who have seen the Earth from space, and for the hundreds and perhaps thousands more who will, the experience most certainly changes your perspective. The things that we share in our world are far more valuable than those which divide us.
Donald Williams
Man seeks to escape himself in myth, and does so by any means at his disposal. Drugs, alcohol, or lies. Unable to withdraw into himself, he disguises himself. Lies and inaccuracy give him a few moments of comfort.
Jean Cocteau
As an organizer I start from where the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be
Saul Alinsky
A pleasant illusion is better than a harsh reality
Christian Nevell Bovee
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
Albert Einstein
Experience comprises illusions lost, rather than wisdom gained.

How strange when an illusion dies, it's as though you've lost a child.
Judy Garland
A pleasant illusion is better than a harsh reality.
Christian Nevell Bovee

Rob the average man of his life-illusion and you rob him also of his happiness
