"Seek art from every time and place, in any form, to connect with those who really move you." ― Martha Beck Topic(s): Government More From Martha Beck "Denial exists because human infants, though equipped with trust-o-meters, are built to trust, blindly and absolutely, any older person who wanders past." "Anger elicits anger, fear elicits fear, no matter how well meaning we may be." "Sometimes a psychic tells you something and it feels wrong and others may be right on the money. It’s your choice about whom to trust, and giving that trust is something we do ourselves." More In Government "If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law."― Henry David Thoreau "We are all used to paying a sales tax when we buy things – almost 9 percent here in New York City. The application of this concept to the financial sector could solve our need for revenue, bring some sanity back into the financial sector, and give us a way to raise the revenue we need to run the government in a fiscally responsible way."― Eliot Spitzer "You know, I have found a new way to get high and stay spaced out for hours on end, and the government can’t stop me… It’s called senility."― Robert Anton Wilson
