“F**k your parliament and your constitution...If your Prime Minister gives me talk about democracy, parliament and constitutions, he, his parliament and his constitution (Greece) may not last very long.” - US President Lyndon Johnson

“To wonder at beauty,
Stand guard over truth,
Look up to the noble,
Decide for the good,


This surely will lead me
To purpose in living,
To right in my actions,
To peace in my feeling,
To clarity in my thinking,


And to teach me to trust
In love and compassion
For all that there is
In the wide, wide world,
And in the depths of my soul.” - Rudolph Steiner
