 | Last login: 3 months agoTony is a 65 year old married guy from Pretoria, South Africa. Two of my favourite quotes:
"Don't walk behind me - I might not lead; don't walk in front of me - I might not follow; just walk beside me and be my friend" - Albert Camus
"Life, at its best, is a flowing, changing process in which nothing is fixed." - Carl R. Rogers
Isn't it exciting to be alive? Frightening at times, but what a challenge! - those are thoughts from me!
Another quote I find useful, by A.J. Muste: "There is no way to peace, peace is the way."
And on a similar note though more graphically expressed by I think Jerry Rubin: "Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity."

"Some live by love thy neighbor as thyself,
others by first do no harm or take no more
than you need. What if the mightiest word is love?
Love beyond marital, filial, national,
love that casts a widening pool of light,
love with no need to pre-empt grievance.
In today's sharp sparkle, this winter air,
any thing can be made, any sentence begun.
On the brink, on the brim, on the cusp,
praise song for walking forward in that light."
