At her h's and her s's, His p's and w's. Though few would still subscribe. To the monogamic axiom. That strife below the hip-bones. Need not estrange the heart, Call it a good marriage: More drew those two together, Despite a lack of children, Than pulled them apart. Call it a good marriage: They never fought in public, They... Robert Graves
Nobody needs to go anywhere else. We are all, if we only knew it, already there. If I only knew who in fact I am, I should cease to behave as what I think I am; and if I stopped behaving as what I think I am, I should know who I am. What in fact I am, if only the Manichee I think I am would allow me to know it, is the reconciliation of yes and no lived out in total acceptance and the blessed experience of Not-Two. In religion all words are dirty words. Anybody who gets eloquent about Buddha,... Aldous Huxley

What exactly is the free world, anyway? I guess it would depend on what you consider the non-free world. And I can't find a clear definition of that, can you? Where is that? Russia? China? For chrissakes, Russia has a better Mafia than we do now, and China is pirating Lion King DVDs and selling dildos on the Internet. They sound pretty free to me. Here are some more jingoistic variations you need to be on the lookout for; "The greatest nation on Earth; the greatest nation in the history of... George Carlin
Ellen DeGeneres quote: "I really don't think I need buns of steel. I'd be happy with..."
I really don't think I need buns of steel. I'd be happy with buns of cinnamon. Ellen DeGeneres
Self-realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, and soul that you are now in possession of the kingdom of God; that you do not have to pray that it come to you; that God’s omnipresence is your omnipresence; and that all that you need to do is improve your knowing. Paramahansa Yogananda
And the beauty of the anthropic principle is that it tells us, against all intuition, that a chemical model need only predict that life will arise on one planet in a billion billion to give us a good and entirely satisfying explanation for the presence of life here. Richard Dawkins
There is more wisdom in your body than in your best wisdom. And who then knows why your body needs precisely your best wisdom? Friedrich Nietzsche
Rainer Maria Rilke quote: "Everything terrible is something that needs our love."
Everything terrible is something that needs our love. Rainer Maria Rilke
You make yourself strong because it's expected of you. You become confident because someone beside you is unsure. You turn into the person others need you to be. Jodi Picoult
[L]et us say that we are obliged to produce the truth by the power that demands truth and needs it in order to function: we are forced to tell the truth, we are constrained, we are condemned to admit the truth or to discover it. Michel Foucault
Still, I couldn't help but wonder if it was a mistake for people like us to be tied to a place. If we weren't meant to be ready and willing to wander. If everything we needed was contained in who we were. And what we remember. Alice Hoffman
Tragedy is the greatest art form of all. It gives us the courage to continue with our life by exposing us to the pain of life. It is unsentimental, it takes us seriously as human beings, it is not condescending. Paradoxically, by seeing pain we are made greater, it becomes a need. Howard Barker
Andy Rooney quote: "I've learned that no matter how serious your life requires you..."
I've learned that no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with. Andy Rooney
