Two sides
"There are two sides to reconciliation; the law aspect and the moral
values. Unless there is improvement for both, changes will not come by
easily."

The function of music
"Art, and, above all, music, has a fundamental function, which is to catalyze the sublimation that it can bring about through all means of expression. It must aim through fixations which are landmarks, to draw [one] towards a total exaltation in which the individual mingles, losing his consciousness in a truth immediate, rare, enormous, and perfect. If a work of art succeeds in this undertaking even for a single moment, it attains its goal."

Skeletor
Stay where you are, He-Man! One more move and your friends will not live to see another day! I give you a choice. Return with me to Eternia as my slave and save their despicable lives, or perish with them on this primitive and tasteless planet. Surrender your sword!

Life, Liberty, Property
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of property were just what Aristotle did
not talk about. They are the conditions of happiness; but the essence of
happiness, according to Aristotle, is virtue. So the moderns decided to
deal with the conditions and to let happiness take care of itself.

Idea of compassion
The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another.

Be Aware
Every individual is at once the beneficiary and the victim of the linguistic tradition into which he has been born — the beneficiary inasmuch as language gives access to the accumulated records of other people's experience, the victim in so far as it confirms him in the belief that reduced awareness is the only awareness and as it bedevils his sense of reality, so that he is all too apt to take his concepts for data, his words for actual things.
