BioFriending is fine - spontaneous, rl people, whatever. Nothing here is exceedingly private, context-wise (honestly, now, it's the internet).
"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds."
-Samuel Adams
"The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom."
-Issac Asimov
"You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful."
-Marie Curie
"If you set out to climb a mountain, however high you climb, you have failed if you cannot reach the top."
-William Golding
"I no longer dismiss a mental process for which nine-tenths of the population is the nearsest they will ever get to a thought. They have immense solidarity. We had better respect them, for we are outnumbered and surrounded. A crowd of grade-three thinkers, all shouting the same thing, all warming their hands at the fire of their own prejudices, will not thank you for pointing out the contradictions in their beliefs. Man is a gregarious animal, and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way on the side of a hill.
-William Golding
"I have never let my schooling interefere with my education."
-Mark Twain
Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong: THIS is the way the world ends.
