Don't you think I ever wanted other things? Don't you think I had dreams and hopes? What about my life? What about me. Don't you think it ever crossed my mind to want to know other men? That I wanted to lay up somewhere and forget about my responsibilities? That I wanted someone to make me laugh so I could feel good? You not the only one who's got wants and needs. But I held on to you, Troy. I took all my feelings, my wants and needs, my dreams...and I buried them inside you. I planted myself... August Wilson

My faith demands - this is not optional - my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I can, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference. - Jimmy Carter Jimmy Carter
Stephen King quote: "Put an egg in your shoe and beat it, make like a tree and..."
Put an egg in your shoe and beat it, make like a tree and leave, imitate an amoeba and split. Stephen King
Indifference is the strongest force in the universe. It makes everything it touches meaningless. Love and hate don't stand a chance against it. Joan D. Vinge
Oh it don't make no kind of sense. Big ol' ox like Grady won't sit next to a colored child. But he eats eggs- shoot right outta chicken's ass! Fannie Flagg

But words are things and a small drop of ink, Falling like a dew, upon a thought produces. That which makes thousands, perhaps millions think;'Tis strange, the shortest letter which man uses. Instead of speech, may form a lasting link. Of ages; to what straits old Time reduces. Frail man, when paper - even a rag like this -, Survives himself, his tomb and all that's his. George Byron
Happiness is strange; it comes when you are not seeking it. When you are not making an effort to be happy, then unexpectedly, mysteriously, happiness is there, born of purity, of a loveliness of being. Jiddu Krishnamurti

If you can't join him and help him, and make him wiser, at any rate remember that he has found something in the world which he will fight and suffer for.... Thomas Hughes
