Preface: The devastation left in the wake of corporatism in much of the world was a war zone Even in the US it seemed like a war zone. The rights of individuals, their properties, communities, and small businesses were under attack, not mere metaphor in some cases. Solutions, some so simple, were suppressed in favor of archaic, toxic, and inefficient technologies Politicians enabled these policies and the results, and they worked a TV like a dancer’s prop, feigning opposition There were so many of us, and so few of them.

           BOOK STARTERS VOL.51    WAR AND PEACE    LEO TOLSTOY

  1. ❛ We can know only that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom. ❜
  2. ❛ Nothing is so necessary for a young man as the company of intelligent women. ❜
  3. ❛ The strongest of all warriors are these two — time and patience. ❜
  4. ❛ If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war. ❜
  5. ❛ There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth. ❜
  6. ❛ The whole world is divided for me into two parts: one is she, and there is all happiness, hope, light; the other is where she is not, and there is dejection and darkness. ❜
  7. ❛ Let the dead bury the dead, but while I’m alive, I must live and be happy. ❜
  8. ❛ It’s not given to people to judge what’s right or wrong. People have eternally been mistaken and will be mistaken, and in nothing more than in what they consider right and wrong. ❜
  9. ❛ You can love a person dear to you with a human love, but an enemy can only be loved with divine love. ❜
  10. ❛ If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed. ❜
  11. ❛ We are asleep until we fall in love! ❜
  12. ❛ I simply want to live; to cause no evil to anyone but myself. ❜
  13. ❛ Everything I know, I know because of love. ❜
  14. ❛ Man cannot possess anything as long as he fears death. But to him who does not fear it, everything belongs. ❜
  15. ❛ If there was no suffering, man would not know his limits, would not know himself. ❜
  16. ❛ Yes, love, but not the love that loves for something, to gain something, or because of something, but that love that I felt for the first time, when dying, I saw my enemy and yet loved him. ❜
  17. ❛ How can one be well…when one suffers morally? ❜
  18. ❛ Kings are the slaves of history. ❜
  19. ❛ God is the same everywhere. ❜
  20. ❛ Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy. ❜
  21. ❛ One must be cunning and wicked in this world. ❜
  22. ❛ We love people not so much for the good they’ve done us, as for the good we’ve done them. ❜
  23. ❛ When one’s head is gone one doesn’t weep over one’s hair! ❜
  24. ❛ For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed? ❜
  25. ❛ He did what heroes do after their work is accomplished; he died. ❜
  26. ❛ Life is too long to say anything definitely; always say perhaps. ❜
  27. ❛ Everything ends in death, everything. Death is terrible. ❜
  28. ❛ The distant and impossible suddenly became near, possible, and inevitable. ❜
  29. ❛ How often we sin, how much we deceive, and all for what? ❜
  30. ❛ The wolves should be fed and the sheep kept safe. ❜
