this lesson for my son I cheated and used words from my favorite people

Why do we live? Most of us need the very thing we never ask for. We talk about revolution as if it was peanuts. What we need is some frank thinking and a few revolutions in our own guts; to hell with what most of the sons of bitches that I know and myself along with them if I don't take hold of myself and turn about when I need to
William Carlos Williams

Sarcasm and compassion are two of the qualities that make life on earth tolerable.
* Nick Hornby

Great artists make the roads; good teachers and good companions can point them out. But there ain't no free rides, baby.
Ursula K. Le Guin
 
Happiness does not depend on the size or content of a goal, but on the strength of the desire to have it.
Life is a like a zombie - it seems to move pretty slow and then boom it's got your brains
Jennie Breedan
 
Read, every day, something no one else is reading.  Think, every day, something no one else is thinking.  Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do.  It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.  ~
Christopher Morley
 
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Albert Einstein

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Thoughts are things! And powerful things at that, when mixed with definiteness of purpose, and burning desire, can be translated into riches.
Napoleon Hill

There's nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you. ~Woody Hayes

I suppose my formula might be: dream, diversify and never miss an angle.
 
 
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Frank Herbert
Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear (Dune, 1965)
 
Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.
Matt Groening

To riding your bike midday past the three piece suits, to fruits, to no absolutes to Absolut, to choice, to the Village Voice, to any passing fad, to being an us for once instead of a them... La Vie Boheme!
  La Vie Bohème- rent

Ignorance perpetuates itself just as knowledge does. Men write false documents, they preach false doctrine, and those beliefs survive to inspire wickedness in later generations. ... Conversely, some men write and teach about the truth, only to be declared heretic by the wicked. In such cases evil has the advantage, for it will do anything to suppress truth, but the good man limits what he will do to suppress falsehood.
One might almost make a rule of it: "Whoever declares another heretic is himself a devil. Whoever places a relic or artifact above justice, kindness, mercy, or truth is himself a devil and the thing elevated is a work of evil magic." ~
Sheri S. Tepper
— or go ahead further if that's the game.

The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.
