(3) "I set myself on fire and people come to watch me burn." (4) "I look upon the whole world as my parish." (5) "Certainly this is a duty, not a sin. 'Cleanliness is indeed next to godliness.'"

(9) "Once in seven years I burn all my sermons; for it is a shame if I cannot write better sermons now than I did seven years ago.

"Philosophy, as the thought of the world, does not appear until reality has completed its formative process, and made itself ready. History thus corroborates the teaching of the conception that only in the maturity of reality does the ideal appear as counterpart to the real, apprehends the real world in its substance, and shapes it into an intellectual kingdom. When philosophy paints its grey in grey, one form of life has become old, and by means of grey it cannot be rejuvenated, but only known. The owl of Minerva takes its flight only when the shades of night are gathering." —G.W.F. Hegel, Philosophy of Right (1820), "Preface"

"Now, if we inquire into the truth of knowledge, it seems that we are asking what knowledge is in itself. Yet in this inquiry knowledge is our object, something that exists for us; and the in-itself that would supposedly result from it would rather be the being of knowledge for us." –Hegel, PHENOMENOLOGY OF SPIRIT

"On earth there is no purifier As great as this knowledge. When a man is made perfect in yoga, He knows its truth within his heart. The man of faith, Whose heart is devoted, Whose senses are mastered: He finds Brahman. Enlightened, he passes At once to the highest, The peace beyond passion." –BHAGAVAD-GITA: THE SONG OF GOD

"A revolutionary age is an age of action; ours is the age of advertisement and publicity. Nothing ever happens but there is immediate publicity everywhere." –Søren Kierkegaard, THE PRESENT AGE: ON THE DEATH OF REBELLION

"Perhaps no one has yet been truthful enough about what 'truthfulness' is." –Friedrich Nietzsche, ON TRUTH & UNTRUTH

"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable, insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair? —Søren Kierkegaard, FEAR & TREMBLING

Excerpt from Disney’s The Road to Eldorado (2000)–

Miguel: Look! El Dorado! The city of gold! This could be our destiny! Our fate!

It is possible. It is certain. Like it’s always been, “the ways and means” have always been available to you. It is UP to You! This is the medicine for the people. If you are like me - like everyman - and you’ve seen the horror and beauties of this world combined, looked up to the stars, and asked: ‘What is the purpose?’ then hear me now. I have lived so *alone* all my life that I’ve taught myself to read and write in nearly 11 languages (and learning two more at the moment); conquer the public-speaking phobia; garner roughly $2.5 million in scholarships and grants (since 2011); and survive three separate rapes, homelessness, raising a child at age 10, an eating disorder, and PTSD.

Want to know the secret? The glass is neither half-empty nor half-full! It is both, at the exact same time. Just as you are. You are capable, you are powerful! You are beautiful, you are wonderful! You are divine, you are HUMAN! As I said before, the ways and means have always been available to you. Awake! Consider this your final wake-up call.
