Quotations:

Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols---"Maxims and Arrows"

Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky


I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.

Jean Paul Richter


Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in life.

Rush Limbaugh


America guarantees equal opportunity, not equal outcome.

Will Durant


Those who have suffered much become very bitter or very gentle.

Patrick Henry


It is natural for a man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut out eyes against a painful truth and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms into beasts.

Lois McMaster Bujold


It's important that someone celebrate our existence... People are the only mirror we have to see ourselves in. The domain of all meaning. All virtue, all evil, are contained only in people. There is none in the universe at large. Solitary confinement is a punishment in every human culture.

Oliver Wendell Holmes


The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving.
