    "Everything else can wait,
    but the search for God cannot wait,
    and love one another."
    - George Harrison,
    favorite saying,
    and final statement
    released by family after his death.
    What timing!

    Earlier listening to his version of In My Life - and my own ever-developing views aside - no matter how many times I've heard this, I am humbled by his devotion...his OWN devotion.

    "In my life...I love god more."

    Gentle, beautiful man.

    A couple of quotes that really helped me after my marriage break-up which was lots of years ago now but I still love these quotes:

    "Sometimes the best revenge when another woman steals your husband is to let her have him"

    "Living well is the best revenge"

    Not that I was obsessed with revenge or anything, waste of energy better spent on healing yourself, but yeah I like those two & they sure as hell helped me. :)

    "The Red Star represents the Solar Federation on 2112, and the man standing against it is supposed to represent the individual standing against this authoritarian government. And it's come to become our logo, for want of a better word. It bascially stands for the individual against the masses." -
    Geddy Lee 1984.....Geddy speaking on The Starman and what it represents.

    “We're all fools," said Clemens, "all the time. It's just we're a different kind each day. We think, I'm not a fool today. I've learned my lesson. I was a fool yesterday but not this morning. Then tomorrow we find out that, yes, we were a fool today too. I think the only way we can grow and get on in this world is to accept the fact we're not perfect and live accordingly.”

    - Ray Bradbury, The Illustrated Man

    “I remember sitting around with John and Elaine Bond, and they said they'd be willing to put the Cobra on the Road & Track cover. That was the happiest day of my life. But it took six martinis because John and Elaine really could down those martinis at lunch.”

    “I feel pretty good. I never thought I'd live this long. They told me in 1960 that I had less than five years to live.”

    - Carroll Shelby

    RIP, good sir.

    Thank you for how badass you were.

    I am deeply saddened. My favorite car of all time is the 1965 Shelby Daytona Coupe.
    A true bad-ass to the bone.

    Hell yeah. Both the man and the car.

    I have to say reading of his death, and the glorious life he lived - made for himself - the unadulterated joy he brought to so many through his designs and charity...made me teary. Seemed like a good man.

    "Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Furthermore, it is constantly in contact with other interests, so that it is continually subjected to modifications. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected." -Carl Jung

    Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. ~Margaret Young
