The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also. - Mark Twain 1835-1910

Imagine there's no heaven,

It's easy if you try,

No hell below us,

Above us only sky.

Imagine all the people

Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,

It isn't hard to do,

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too.

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one,

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one.

Imagine no possessions,

I wonder if you can,

No need for greed or hunger,

A brotherhood of man.

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one,

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one.

- John Lennon 1940-80

And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.

- Kurt Vonnegut 1922-2007

Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say - So what! That's one of my favourite things to say - So what! - Andy Warhol 1928-87
