What did Dom Perignon say to fellow monks after he invented champagne? ... Come quickly, I am tasting the stars.

John Green

A source of bad conscience, however, is the knowledge that my way of life, austere though it may appear to the richer folk, is still ruinously exploitive of nature -- not in my backyard, where I practice harmlessness toward even the wasps, but in the atmosphere, where my fossil fuel combustion's carbon dioxide is helping change the climate; in all those mountainous places where the metals and minerals that structure and drive my American life are torn from the earth; and in the flesh of fish and birds, mammals, and reptiles, where the chemicals that made the paper and plastic I use bioaccumulate, deforming reproduction. That guilty knowledge is another argument for material simplicity. The less I consume, the less harm I do to that which I love. In a consumer society, harmless living may be simple, but it is not easy. I make no claim to exemplary harmlessness or simplicity.

Stephanie Mills, Epicurean Simpl

Aldous Huxley

Adversity is a fact of life. It can't be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it.

I'm extremely blessed because I travel extensively for my work, but I always try to incorporate a bit of leisure with business.

Linda Gray

Small debts are like small shot; they are rattling on every side, and can scarcely be escaped without a wound: great debts are like cannon; of loud noise, but little danger.

If you want to move people, you look for a point of sensitivity, and in Egypt nothing moves people as much as religion.
