Ginger: You know what the greatest tragedy is in the whole world?... It's all the people who never find out what it is they really want to do or what it is they're really good at. It's all the sons who become blacksmiths because their fathers were blacksmiths. It's all the people who could be really fantastic flute players who grow old and die without ever seeing a musical instrument, so they become bad plowmen instead. It's all the people with talents who never even find out. Maybe they... Terry Prachett
People can't concentrate properly on blowing other people to pieces if their minds are poisoned by thoughts suitable to the twenty-fifth of December. Ogden Nash

William Shakespeare quote: "Which can say more than this rich praise, that you alone are you?"
Which can say more than this rich praise, that you alone are you? William Shakespeare
No writer in a free country should be expected to bother about the exact demarcation between the sensuous and the sensual; this is preposterous; I can only admire but cannot emulate the accuracy of judgment of those who pose the fair young mammals photographed in magazines where the general neckline is just low enough to provoke a past master's chuckle and just high enough not to make a postmaster frown. Vladimir Nabokov
Bill Hicks quote: "I never got along with my dad. Kids used to come up to me and..."
I never got along with my dad. Kids used to come up to me and say, "My dad can beat up your dad." I'd say Yeah? When? Bill Hicks
We don't stop talking about how the world might be better just because we have no chance of making it to Prime Minister. We are all politicians. We are all artists. In an open society everything the mind and hands can achieve is our birthright. It is up to us to claim it. Stephen Fry
The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal. It can't be organized or regulated. It isn't true that everyone should follow one path. Listen to your own truth. Ram Dass
Alice Walker quote: "Surely the earth can be saved by all the people who insist on..."
Surely the earth can be saved by all the people who insist on love. Alice Walker
Who you get, and how it works out- there's so much luck involved, as well as the million branching consequences of your conscious choice of a mate, that no one and no amount of talking can untangle it if it turns out unhappily. Ian Mcewan
Tom Waits quote: "A gentleman is someone who can play the accordion, but doesn't."
A gentleman is someone who can play the accordion, but doesn't. Tom Waits
Wil Wheaton quote: "I can't believe you said that about fire ants and..."
I can't believe you said that about fire ants and thunderstorms! You are such a Houstonist! Wil Wheaton
I pray that you will understand the words of Jesus, “Love one another as I have loved you.” Ask yourself “How has he loved me? Do I really love others in the same way?” Unless this love is among us, we can kill ourselves with work and it will only be work, not love. Work without love is slavery. Mother Teresa
