There's no black and white, left and right to me anymore; there's only up and down and down is very close to the ground. And I'm trying to go up without thinking about anything trivial such as politics. They have got nothing to do with it. I'm thinking about the general people and when they get hurt. Bob Dylan
As Estha stirred the thick jam he thought Two Thoughts and the Two Thoughts he thought were these: a) Anything can happen to anyone. andb) It is best to be prepared. Arundhati Roy
Michael Crichton quote: "Life is wonderful. It's a gift to be alive, to see the sun and..."
Life is wonderful. It's a gift to be alive, to see the sun and breathe the air. And there isn't really anything else. Michael Crichton
What is the point? We assume that every time we do anything we know what the consequences will be, i. e., more or less what we intend them to be. This is not only not always correct. It is wildly, crazily, stupidly, cross-eyed-blithering-insectly wrong! Douglas Adams
In anything that does cover the whole of your life - in your philosophy and your religion - you must have mirth. If you do not have mirth you will certainly have madness. Gilbert K. Chesterton
