    “The meaning of life has not much to do with good and evil, right and wrong,
    duty, honor, country, or any of that.

    It has to do with cutting the right deal.”

    people who cease to believe in god or goodness altogether still believe in the devil, i don't know why. No i indeed know why. Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult.

    I'm just saying, you only get one life. There's no God, no rules, no judgements except for those you accept or create for yourself, and once it's over, it's over. Dreamless sleep forever and ever. So why not be happy while you're here, really, why not? - Nate Fisher, Jr.

    "Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a man during a quail hunt ... making 78-year-old Harry Whittington the first person shot by a sitting veep since Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton, of course, (was) shot in a duel with Aaron Burr over issues of honor, integrity and political maneuvering. Whittington? Mistaken for a bird." —Jon Stewart

    I don't like it when people say...
    "l really dug your message, man."
    Or, "l really dug your play, man. I cried."

    You know?

    I like it when people come up to me...
    ...the next day...
    ...or a week later and they say...

    l saw your play.

    What happened?

    If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway...

    If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; succeed anyway...

    If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway....

    If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway...

    The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway…

    You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.”

    ― Mother Teresa

    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

    The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

    - C. S. Lewis
