Hatred corrodes the container it’s contained in.

— Proverb

I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.

— Mahatma Gandhi

Education on the value of free speech and the other freedoms reserved by the Bill of Rights, about what happens when you don’t have them, and about how to exercise and protect them, should be an essential prerequisite for being an American citizen — or indeed a citizen of any nation, the more so to the degree that such rights remain unprotected. If we can’t think for ourselves, if we’re unwilling to question authority, then we’re just putty in the hands of those in power. But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in power work for us. In every country, we should be teaching our children the scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and the enveloping darkness.

— Carl Sagan

Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.

A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.

When we sit at the table, there is more going on than satisfying hunger. It is sad to think of those who eat simply to satisfy their hunger and who do not permit themselves to linger under the many spells offered by a good meal – the satisfaction of our hearts, our minds and our spirits.

— Dr. Leo F. Buscaglia

The artificial intelligence approach is to replace the mind. Our approach is always to have the mind at the very center of the system.

Now the artificial intelligence community has come around to this idea after twenty-five years. But that wasn’t where they started out. They used to say, “We’re going to be able to solve these problems. You don’t need a mind.” In fact, you do need a mind.

— Frederick P. Brooks, Jr.
