What is peddled about nowadays as philosophy, especially that of N.S. National Socialism, but has nothing to do with the inner truth and greatness of that movement namely the encounter between global technology and modern humanity is nothing but fishing in that troubled sea of values and totalities.
Martin Heidegger

It is a painful thing to say to oneself: by choosing one road I am turning my back on a thousand others. Everything is interesting; everything might be useful; everything attracts and charms a noble mind; but death is before us; mind and matter make their demands; willy-nilly we must submit and rest content as to things that time and wisdom deny us, with a glance of sympathy which is another act of our homage to the truth.

Although violence and the use of force may appear powerful and decisive, their benefits are short-lived. Violence can never bring a lasting and long term resolution to any problem, because it is unpredictable and for every problem it seems to solve, others are created.

Dalai Lama
