• The Internet is just one of those things that contemporary humans can spend millions of "practice" events at, that the average human a thousand years ago had absolutely no exposure to. Our brains are massively remodeled by this exposure--but so, too, by reading, by television, by video games, by modern electronics, by contemporary music, by contemporary "tools," etc.

• Thousands of stars in the night sky,
  And shells on the shore together,
  Hundreds of birds that go singing by,
  Especially in sunny weather.
  Millions of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
  Thousands of leaves in the fall,
  Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
  But only one father, that's all.
  Happy Birthday
  To the One and Only

• Most of the harm in the world is done by good people, and not by accident, lapse, or omission. It is the result of their deliberate actions, long persevered in, which they hold to be motivated by high ideals toward virtuous ends... ...when millions are slaughtered, when torture is practiced, starvation enforced, oppression made a policy, as at present over a large part of the world, and as it has often been in the past, it must be at the behest of very many good people, and even by their direct action, for what they consider a worthy object.

• It is through you, actors, that the forces which are understood by millions and that tell of everything that is beautiful on earth, find expression. The forces which reveal to people the happiness of living in a widened consciousness and in the joy of creative work for the whole world. You, the actors of a theatre, which is one of the centres of human culture, will never be understood by the people if you are unable to reflect the spiritual needs of your time, the now in which you are living.

  Constantin Stanislavski

Camps built specifically to house them, where they would be fed, clothed, even tattooed so they could be inventoried...just to kill them.
