Humanity has four and a half billion passionate advocates - but how many speak....for the gray wolf?....it is a man's duty to speak for the voiceless. A woman's obligation to aid the defenseless.

You and I By Henry Alford My hand is lonely for your clasping, dear; My ear is tired waiting for your call. I want your strength to help, your laugh to cheer; Heart, soul and senses need you, one and all.

David Foster Wallace quote: "junior athletics is but one facet of the real gem: life's..."
...junior athletics is but one facet of the real gem: life's endless war against the self you cannot live without. David Foster Wallace
I had no interests. I had no interest in anything. I had no idea how I was going to escape. At least the others had some taste for life. They seemed to understand something that I didn’t understand. Maybe I was lacking. It was possible. I often felt inferior. I just wanted to get away from them. But there was no place to go. Charles Bukowski
Today, a young man on acid realised that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration and that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and you are the imagination of yourself. Here's Tom with the weather...! Bill Hicks
George R. R. Martin quote: "The singers make much of kings who die valiantly in battle,..."
The singers make much of kings who die valiantly in battle, but your life is worth more than a song. George R. R. Martin

You don't mind? Life is in the minding. Tom Stoppard
Laura's gossip was redeemed by its lack of spite. She was warmly objective about every event, taking endless delight in action and complexity, as if she had been bed-ridden in a small windowless room for years and was just now discovering the dramatic possibilities of daily life. She sang Alice through the day. Jane Smiley
The invention of print, however, made it easier to manipulate public opinion, and the film and the radio carried the process further.
