If you sit down and think about it *sensibly*, you come up with some very funny ideas. Like: why make people inquisitive, and then put some forbidden fruit where they can see it with a big neon finger flashing on and off saying 'THIS IS IT!'? ... I mean, why do that if you really don't *want* them to eat it, eh? I mean, maybe you just want to see how it all turns out. Maybe it's all part of a great big ineffable plan. All of it. You, me, him, everything. Some great big test to see if what... Neil Gaiman

And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. Albert Einstein
But do you know how old I will be by the time I learn to really play the piano / act / paint / write a decent play?" Yes . . . the same age you will be if you don't. Julia Cameron
Life is indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in order to survive, and partly because of our own innate desire to always do better, to overcome new challenges, to self-actualize. Happiness is experienced largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor. Albert Ellis
All that the conscious ego can do is to formulate wishes, which are then carried out by forces which it controls very little and understands not at all. When it does anything more - when it tries too hard, for example, when it worries, when it becomes apprehensive about the future - it lowers the effectiveness of those forces and may even cause the devitalized body to fall ill. In my present state, awareness was not referred to as ego; it was, so to speak, on its own. Aldous Huxley

You should bring something into the world that wasn't in the world before. It doesn't matter what that is. It doesn't matter if it's a table or a film or gardening - everyone should create. You should do something, then sit back and say, "I did that. Ricky Gervais
Vincent Van Gogh quote: "Seek only light and freedom and do not immerse yourself too..."
Seek only light and freedom and do not immerse yourself too deeply in the worldly mire. Vincent Van Gogh
I value devotion and fidelity, and doubt if it matters whether the object falls short. What you do and what you are is what matters. Your loyalty is as sacred as mine. Ellis Peters
Neil Gaiman quote: "They all do the same things. They may think their sins are..."
They all do the same things. They may think their sins are original, but for the most part they are petty and repetitive. Neil Gaiman
Cyndi Lauper quote: "Not for nothing, but if you do that again, I'm gonna have to..."
Not for nothing, but if you do that again, I'm gonna have to punch ya fuckin' heart out! Cyndi Lauper
Scott Adams quote: "How can something that doesn’t exist in physical form have..."

Charlie Chaplin quote: "You need Power, only when you wantto do something..."
You need Power, only when you wantto do something harmfulotherwise. Love is enough to get everything done. Charlie Chaplin
I do not find that I grow any older. Being arrived at seventy, and considering that by traveling further in the same road I should probably be led to the grave, I stopped short, turned about, and walked back again; which having done these four years, you may now call me sixty-six. Advise those old friends of ours to follow my example; keep up your spirits, and that will keep up your bodies. Benjamin Franklin
The trees and the muscled mountains are the world? but not the world apart from man? the world and man? the one inseparable unit man and his environment. Why they should ever have been understood as being separate I do not know. John Steinbeck
