    A few from Churchill. What a brilliant, wise, hilarious and self-deprecating man.

    So much of this is applicable in our times, too.


    The length of this document defends it well against the risk of its being read.

    Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.

    I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals. :mrgreen:

    The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.

    Wear your grudge like a crown of negativity.
    Calculate what we will or will not tolerate.
    Desperate to control all and everything.
    Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.

    Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down.
    Justify denials and grip it to the lonesome end.
    Clutch it like a cornerstone, otherwise it all comes down.
    Terrified of being wrong.

    Ultimatum prison cell.

    Saturn ascends, choose one or ten.

    Hang on or be humbled again.

    - Maynard James Keenan

    Mitch! Love the fuck outta this dude.

    I was walking down the street with my friend and he said, "I hear music", as if there is any other way you can take it in. You're not special, that's how I receive it too. I tried to taste it but it did not work.

    Me too, grandma. Me too!

    I loved this film (Parenthood - even though I'm not a parent - but I am a daughter).

    The quote, which is so much better seen than read, reminds me of Jeff in Single Video Theory - to paraphrase, "not what to feel, but just to feel".

    If only more people understood what Johnny understood... that you can have very differing political opinions and stick to them. It does not mean that people with differing political views are 'the enemy', 'hate America', 'want to destroy America' and you 'should not come to compromises with'. They are simply, Americans with a diferent political view point than yours. We are all still... Americans.
    P.S. You can visit Johnny's grave site in Los Angeles and say, 'Hello'.
