Philosophy Quote by P. R. Jaen — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Y ¿adónde encaminaría ahora mis pasos? A un tiempo y un mundo nuevos, a mi medida, donde no es necesario un amigo. Al paraíso de lo artificial.”

“In a free economy, change tends to be evolutionary. In a government-controlled economy, change tends to be revolutionary.”

“The symbolism of meat-eating is never neutral. To himself, the meat-eater seems to be eating life. To the vegetarian, he seems to be eating death. There is a kind of gestalt-shift between the two positions which makes it hard to change, and hard to raise questions on the matter at all without becoming embattled.”

“It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.”

“Wisdom is the oneness of mind that guides and permeates all things.”

“You cannot change your FUTURE, you can change your HABITS. And surely your HABITS will change your FUTURE”

“There is no part of one’s beliefs about oneself which cannot be modified by sufficiently powerful psychological techniques. There is nothing about oneself which cannot be taken away or changed. The proper stimuli can, if correctly applied, turn communists into fascists, saints into devils, the meek into heroes, and vice-versa. There is no sovereign sanctuary within ourseles which represents our real nature. There is nobody at home in the internal fortress. Everything we cherish as our ego, everything we believe in, is just what we have cobbled together out of the accident of our birth and subsequent experiences. With drugs, brainwashing, and other techniques of extreme persuasion, we can quite readily make a man a devotee of a different ideology, the patriot of a different country, or the follower of a different religion.”
