    ...
    I like that. It goes a long way.
    We should be kind... not because we feel we have to... but, because it is right. Not to just the ones we love... but, to everyone. I know, sometimes it is hard... and sometimes it's impossible.
    I always like the little bumper sticker saying from the Breast Cancer Walks... 'Humankind. Be Both.'

    "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
    Michael Jordan

    Here is my final point...About drugs, about alcohol, about pornography...What business is it of yours what I do, read, buy, see, or take into my body as long as I do not harm another human being on this planet? And for those who are having a little moral dilemma in your head about how to answer that question, I'll answer it for you. NONE of your fucking business. Take that to the bank, cash it, and go fucking on a vacation out of my life.

    The worst kind of non-smokers are the ones that come up to you and cough. That's pretty fucking cruel isn't it? Do you go up to cripples and dance too?

    I know this is not a very popular idea. You don't hear it too often any more … but it's the truth. I have taken drugs before and … I had a real good time. Sorry. Didn't murder anybody, didn't rape anybody, didn't rob anybody, didn't beat anybody, didn't lose – hmm – one fucking job, laughed my ass off, and went about my day. Sorry. Now, where's my commercial?

    - the late great Bill Hicks

    Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life....

    Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important....

    Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart....

    Steve Jobs

    “Happy Ending?
    There are no happy endings,
    Endings are the saddest part,
    So just give me a happy middle
    And a very happy start.” -Shel Silverstein


    "I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing, and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time." -Bansky

    "My pain is self-chosen
    At least, so The Prophet says
    I could either burn
    Or cut off my pride and buy some time
    A head full of lies is the weight, tied to my waist"

    “Who knows how to make love stay?

    Tell love you are going to the Junior's Deli on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn to pick up a cheesecake, and if love stays, it can have half. It will stay.

    Tell love you want a momento of it and obtain a lock of its hair. Burn the hair in a dime-store incense burner with yin/yang symbols on three sides. Face southwest. Talk fast over the burning hair in a convincingly exotic language. Remove the ashes of the burnt hair and use them to paint a mustache on your face. Find love. Tell it you are someone new. It will stay.

    Wake love up in the middle of the night. Tell it the world is on fire. Dash to the bedroom window and pee out of it. Casually return to bed and assure love that everything is going to be all right. Fall asleep. Love will be there in the morning.”

    --Tom Robbins

    Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes
    Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal
    I walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library
    Line up to the mind cemetary, now
    What we don't know keeps the contracts alive an movin'
    They don't gotta burn tha books they just remove 'em
    While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells
    None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe that they are free.

    Start by doing what's necessary;
    then do what's possible;
    and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
