 * 10) Baldr ·

 * 1) Grok · Grok means to understand so thoroughly that the observer becomes a part of the observed — to merge, blend, intermarry, lose identity in group experience. It means almost everything that we mean by religion, philosophy, and science — and it means as little to us (because of our Earthling assumptions) as color means to a blind man. ~ Robert A. Heinlein
 * 2) Guardians of the Galaxy (2008 team) · I don't know if this team will work or not. All I know is it MUST. Time is critical. I see clearly now why I've been reborn. We haven't got long. Years if we're lucky, months if we're not. ~ Adam Warlock
 * 3) Guardians of the Galaxy (film) · I was only a kid when I left Earth, and I had no idea what the universe had in store for me. · It's time we stand up for what is right.

 * 14) Jean de Florette ·

 * 16) Jungle · We are all made of the same stuff, remember, we of the Jungle, you of the City.

Remember that when you no longer remember me, my child. ~ P. L. Travers
 * 17) Kairos · Our task is to serve the logos out of the depths of our new kairos, a kairos that is now emerging in the crises and catastrophes of our day.

 * 18) Krzysztof Kieślowski ·
 * 19) Louis L'Amour
 * 20) Laniakea Supercluster · For the first time, astronomers have outlined and named the network of galaxies that includes the Milky Way, adding a line to our cosmic address and further defining our place in the universe.

+ significantly worked upon:
 * 1) About Time (2013 film) · I think I've learned the final lesson from my travels in time; and I've even gone one step further than my father did: The truth is I now don't travel back at all, not even for the day, I just try to live every day as if I've deliberately come back to this one day, to enjoy it, as if it was the full final day of my extraordinary, ordinary life.

 * 8) Chitty Chitty Bang Bang · Never say "no" to adventures. Always say "yes", otherwise you'll lead a very dull life.

 * 12) David Gilmour · Who are you and who am I To say we know the reason why Some are born, some men die,  Beneath one infinite sky?
 * 13) Zane Grey · To bear up under loss — to fight the bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief — to be victor over anger — to smile when tears are close — to resist evil men and base instincts — to hate hate and to love love — to go on when it would seem good to die — to seek ever after the glory and the dream — to look up with unquenchable faith in something evermore about to be — that is what any man can do, and so be great.
 * 14) Scarlett Johansson · I read a lot of things about myself that aren't true … I've read that I've been with people I've never met.

 * 19) Jack Monroe · Food poverty comes in two strands. The first is not having enough money to buy food for yourself and your family. The second is poverty of education.

 * 21) Perception · Truth is universal. Perception of truth is not.
 * 22) Randy Pausch · If I could only give three words of advice, they would be, "tell the truth." If I got three more words, I'd add: "All the time."
 * 23) Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan · If there is a single goal for all civilization, it does not mean that all shall speak a common tongue or profess a common creed, or that all shall live under a single government, or all shall follow an unchanging pattern in customs and manners.
 * 24) Wilhelm Röntgen · I did not think; I investigated. … Having discovered the existence of a new kind of rays, I of course began to investigate what they would do. … We shall see what we shall see. We have the start now; the developments will follow in time.
 * 25) Oskar Schindler · I hated the brutality, the sadism, and the insanity of Nazism. I just couldn't stand by and see people destroyed. I did what I could, what I had to do, what my conscience told me I must do. That's all there is to it.
 * 26) Gloria Steinem · I always thought that "humanist" was a good word long before I understood that anyone thought it was a bad word.

'''I ever seek to increase proper forms of respect for human individuals and legitimate forms of human society and social interactions. I do not seek to promote any of the worst and foulest forms of human confusion, ignorance and fear, nor promote any admiration for corruptions of the ideals of humanity which can come about through many forms of ignorance and confusion, such as those involved in various mild and minor or major and murderous forms of tyranny or terrorism.''' I promote a forgiveness of those who fall into many forms of error, but I also assert that errors, especially those which ignore the principles of Justice and Liberty, should be opposed, and opposed regularly and vigorously. I am well aware that those with very limited and constrained forms of imagination, intelligence and ideas OFTEN wish to find ways to constrain or control the ideas of others, and to suppress, punish and destroy any indications of such ideas or truths as might go beyond the bounds which their fragile or fearful little minds find comfortable to face, usually without being too obvious about it, and with exaggerating focus on such regulations and policies "for the good" of everyone they choose to find worthy of consideration — which is usually a VERY limited circle, and such as can serve their own aims — often with an extreme ignorance, denial or dismissal of such principles upon which any truly legitimate "policies" must be founded. Even as a young child I recognized that so-called social interactions that depended upon various forms of dishonesty were not truly "social" at all — but actually, at best, "semi-social" and more often truly "anti-social", no matter what kindly generous appearances people might wish to garnish their own bigotries and extreme prejudices with.  I am genuinely not prone to be harsh to those not being deliberately harsh to others — and yet I am certainly not always prone to be gentle with those I perceive being needlessly harsh, intolerant or cruel to anyone. Even though I might forgive their ignorance and confusion, I will not always choose to pardon them from confrontations with aspects or consequences of their errors, that they might prefer not to face. I am a very complex person — and I respect others as such too — and I know that any mandated erasures or ignoring of all differences that might exist is certainly NOT a genuinely healthy answer to the problems of various forms of social and anti-social contentions. In this project and elsewhere I intend to help make many ideas of those I consider the most wise and charitable of human beings far better known and adequately understood by many — and indicate applicabilities which I believe can be helpful. This year has just begun, but I have many ideas of how to occupy my time in coming months, and am always prepared to adapt and grow with new circumstances, as any healthy individual usually is, and any healthy human endeavors always are. So it goes... ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 12:19, 22 January 2014 (UTC) + tweaks

some images deleted from Baruch Spinoza

 * some of the images deleted from Baruch Spinoza, removed some months ago, some of which I might eventually restore, but have many other things to attend to today and in coming weeks. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 19:04, 13 January 2014 (UTC) + tweaks

Most of these which had been here have now been restored to the Spinoza page or to Ethics (book), which had been an overly large portion of the page, and had been moved some time after the images were removed. Some I simply replaced with other available images. Of the 2 images I have retained here, only the one with the Borges quote has not been restored, because there is currently not enough room for it in its section, and I believe other images currently there are generally preferable. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 11:42, 30 January 2014 (UTC) + tweaks
 * Actually there is sufficient room there, except in extremely wide page widths — but I will probably wait for more text in that section before possibly restoring it, or replacing it with another. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 11:46, 30 January 2014 (UTC)



Starry Night options












some images deleted from Sri Chinmoy

 * These were removed from the Sri Chinmoy page, and knowing he apparently had some objections to gay lifestyles, I can agree to keep them removed, though I believe they illustrate some aspects of his statements well. I will seek some other less controversial images to use with the captions ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 12:51, 27 January 2014 (UTC)



= ∐∏ = Very early in my life, by the time I was 5 or 6, the Essays of Michel de Montaigne and various thoughts upon them had inspired me, and even then I had in mind ideas of creating short essays largely built around significant quotes and their various interpretations, and I will probably eventually begin filling many of user pages with quotes about various ideas and concepts, and a few relevant comments about them. "We've only just begun…" ;)

ΩA★AΩ

 * Barnstar Bank — just getting this started… will probably develop it with brief comments on their significance within the coming weeks.

All by Myself (1975)

I never needed anyone And making love was just for fun Those days are gone
 * When I was young

Don't want to be all by myself anymore
 * All by myself

Sometimes I feel so insecure And love so distant and obscure Remains the cure
 * Hard to be sure
