CURRENT MISSION

Looking for the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. And I doubt it really is 42... And improving my cooking skills :D

ABOUT ME

I am a Czech university student who enjoys meeting new people and discovering new things. I like to travel but I didn´t have enough time for it for quite some time until now. I thing I am quite tolerant and can get along with just about anybody.

PHILOSOPHY

Favorite quotes:

They're beautiful, aren't they? The stars. I never really look at them anymore, but they actually are quite beautiful.

-Agent K (Men in Black)

If we allow ourselves to be terrorized by fear of the terrorists, then they have won.

-Salman Rushdie

Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good.

-Thomas Paine

He who will not reason is a bigot; he who cannot is a fool; and he who dares not is a slave.

- Sir William Drummond of Logiealmond

Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.

Power lies in reason, resolution, and truth. No matter how long the tyrant endures, he will be the loser at the end.

- Kahlil Gibran

Some people say, "How can you live without knowing?" I do not know what they mean. I always live without knowing. That is easy. How you get to know is what I want to know.

Physics is like sex. Sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.

-Feynman

Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

-John Steinbeck

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

-John Stuart Mill

The difficulty is not so great to die for a friend, as to find a friend worth dying for.

-Homer

Until philosophers rule as kings or those who are now called kings and leading men genuinely and adequately philosophise, that is, until political power and philosophy entirely coincide, while the many natures who at present pursue either one exclusively are forcibly prevented from doing so, cities will have no rest from evils,... nor, I think, will the human race.

-Plato

Declare not war against your emotions, or prepare for the inevitable defeat!

-Mehmet ildan

Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.

-Horace Mann

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

Man is free at the instant he wants to be.

-Voltaire

None are more enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

-Goethe

The citizen who sees his society's democratic clothes being worn out and does not cry out is not a patriot but a traitor.

- Mark Twain

As long as the world shall last, there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever.

-Clarence Darrow

If men cease to believe that they will one day become gods then they will surely become worms.

The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.

-Henry Miller

Anyone who believes in indefinite growth in anything physical, on a physically finite planet, is either mad or an economist.

-Kenneth E. Boulding
