I Still Love You, Toronto




"Torontonians shouldn’t feel ashamed about their city — we never asked for this to happen to us, but if we ask enough questions we can find out why it did." -Matt Blackett

"You cannot control an ecstatic person; it is impossible. You can control only a miserable person. An ecstatic person is bound to be free. Ecstasy is freedom. When you are ecstatic, you cannot be reduced to being a slave. You cannot be destroyed so easily; you cannot be persuaded to live in... See more a prison. You would like to dance under the stars and you would like to walk with the wind and you would like to talk with the sun and moon. You will need the vast, the infinite night, the enormous. You cannot be seduced into living in a dark cell. You cannot be turned into a slave. You will live your own life and you will do your own thing.

This is very difficult for society. If there are many ecstatic people, the society will feel it is falling apart, its structure will not hold anymore." -OSHO

(maybe it's more appropriate to substitute "awake" for "ecstatic)

"We don’t need laws and people with guns to live in harmony. Ain’t this ironic : people with GUNS try to create PEACE. The moment a society accept people with guns it’s an evil society." -Jan Siemaszkiewicz
