Tom Robbins, _Skinny Legs and All_, 1990, p. 305.


...to emphasize the afterlife is to deny life. To concentrate on Heaven is to create hell. In their desperate longing to transcend the disorderliness, friction, and unpredictability that pesters life; in their desire for a fresh start in a tidy habitat, germ-free and secured by angels, religious multitudes are gambling the only life they may ever have on a dark horse in a race that has no finish line."

George Bernard Shaw


You see things and you say, 'Why' But I dream things that never were and I say, Why not

Old School


Heidi Well, do you want me to be honest or do you want me to tell you this is the first time

John Donne


More than kisses, letters mingle souls.

Stephen Jobs


Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.

Walter Wangerin, Jr., Book of the Dun Cow


It is entirely possible to win against the enemy, it is possible, even, to kill the enemy... and still be defeated by the battle.
