1. "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." - Friedrich Nietzsche
Comment: very powerful message that applies 100% in my life when I am connected with my inner being and when I say that peace supersedes prosperity and not the other way around.

2. "You don't comb the mirror; you comb your own hair and the mirror changes." -- David Icke
Comment: another powerful quote that for me means that if you want to change what you see outside that you don’t like such an undesirable behavior that is causing harm to others you have to change the thought that originates within yourself. In other words, what we see outside is the manifestation of what is inside of us good or bad. – Enrique Suarez
3. "We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity." - Paulo Coelho, "The Alchemist"
Comment: For me this is the main purpose of life and not philosophy, which is, to know where we came from, enjoy the journey of life, and know our final destination, like the drop of water that came from the ocean when we first came to this world to then go back to the ocean of love when we are no longer living in this planet. – Enrique Suarez

Comment: there is a Chinese proverb that says that “if you know you don’t talk” – Enrique Suarez
8. "One may well ask: How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others? The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

13. "Remarkably virtually everyone in developed countries desperately tries to believe that they are immune to indoctrination. They think for themselves and readily know the difference between truth and falsity, fantasy and reality, superstition and science, fact, and fiction. Technologically sophisticated cultures are conditioned to accept belief systems, behaviors, and values that would have been rejected out of hand by their stone-age predecessors. Primitives would instantly sense the obvious threats to survival and adjustment, or simple nonsense, inherent in many of the treasured beliefs of modern society." - Wilson Bryan Key, The Age of Manipulation
Comment: the natives and indigenous populations around the world are the first world and all the rest of us are underdeveloped, that is the so-called second and third world. – Enrique Suarez
