Beauty can't amuse you, but brainwork -- reading, writing, thinking--can.

Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.

William Shakespeare

If one can, anyone can.If two can, you can, too!

To me, the irony of this involvement with size, as I observed earlier, is the unwillingness or inability of so many Americans to identify themselves with something as vast as the United States. Bigger cars, bigger parking lots, bigger corporate structures, bigger farms, bigger drug stores, bigger supermarkets, bigger motion-picture screens. The tangible and the functional expand, while the intangible and the beautiful shrink. Left to wither is the national purpose, national educational needs, literature and theater, and our critical faculties. The national dialogue is gradually being lost in a froth of misleading self-congratulation and cliche. National needs and interests are slowly being submerged by the national preoccupation with the irrelevant.

I have a really, really, really normal family. And by normal I mean we're all nuts on some level. I think you've gotta be a little nuts to pursue any kind of creative job. I was also a really good kid. I know that sounds really dull, but I didn't rebel in the traditional sense.

Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.

Napoleon Bonaparte

These have not the hope to die.

Dante Alighieri

Memory is not wisdom idiots can by rote repeat volumes. Yet what is wisdom without memory?

Martin Farquhar Tupper

I have a computer screen near my seat where I monitor the overall health of the vehicle and pick up any problems that might be occurring early on or once we see any kind of a malfunction or anything unusual that's happening, we can look at the data and figure out what that is.

Love is a better teacher than duty.
