Solitude

"The worst solitude is to be destitute of sincere friendship." - Francis Bacon

"No man will ever unfold the capacities of his own intellect who does not at least checker his life with solitude."

- Thomas de Quincey

Henry David Thoreau

Overpopulation is the gravest problem.

THE WORLD is facing a series of interlinked crises which threatens billions of people and could cause the collapse of civilization.

Climate change, pollution, food shortages, diseases, wars, disasters, crime and the recession are all conspiring to ravage the globe and threaten the future of humanity.

Democracy, human rights and press freedom are also suffering.

Beauty is before me and Beauty is behind me. Above me and below me hovers the beautiful. I am surrounded by it, I am immersed in it. In my youth I am aware of it, and, in old age, I shall walk quietly the beautiful trail. In beauty, it is begun, In beauty, it is ended.

Get Personal

The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there.

― Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values

Be The Change You Wish to See in The World.

Samuel Johnson

"It is necessary to hope
For hope itself is happiness,
And its frustrations, however frequent
Are less dreadful than its extinction."
