Baruch Spinoza

Men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues, and can moderate their desires more than their words.

I call him free who is led solely by reason.

I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.

Ethical religion can be real only to those who are engaged in ceaseless efforts at moral improvement. By moving upward we acquire faith in an upward movement, without limit.

Men should be bewailed at their birth, and not at their death.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
