I was by myself for a pretty long time. I needed to do that. I think everyone that I know has wanted to do that or needed to do that at some point. I think when you spend enough time when it’s quiet around you and you don’t open your mouth for three or four days, there’s parts of your brain that can kind of rest. I think when we’re out in the world and we have to talk to people, we edit ourselves. You know, we have to like, act a little bit. As honest as we may be as humans, when we’re out here, we’re all kind of wearing mirrors on our faces. You know, constantly reacting to how to react to the people around you. And I think when you’re alone for a long enough time, you can feel a lot more peace.
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

E. B. White

Religion associates with Heaven an idea of equality which prevents the rich from being massacred by the poor.
written in 1806 by Napoleon Bonaparte. He had a very utilitarian view of religion (see above). For instance, while in Egypt he played at respecting Islam, he called for a Palestine for the Jews, and reconciled with the Pope to have him attend Napoleon’s coronation. Later, however, he held the pope as a virtual prisoner while annexing Rome to the French empire. (via historical-nonfiction)
