My belief is that communication is the best way to create strong relationships.

Always set high value on spontaneous kindness. He whose inclination prompts him to cultivate your friendship of his own accord will love you more than one whom you have been at pains to attach to you.

Samuel Johnson

Hope and reality lie in inverse proportions, inside the walls of a hospital... Doubt is like dye. Once is spreads into the fabric of excuses you've woven, you'll never get rid of the stain.

Jodi Picoult

Since UFO stands for unidentified flying object, the word ufology means approximately knowledge about unknown flying objects, and is therefore a science whose content is void by definition. Similar considerations hold for parapsychology.

Lucio Russo

Dream is not a revelation. If a dream affords the dreamer some light on himself, it is not the person with closed eyes who makes the discovery but the person with open eyes lucid enough to fit thoughts together. Dream --a scintillating mirage surrounded by shadows --is essentially poetry.

Michel Leiris

Work is either fun or drudgery. It depends on your attitude. I like fun.

Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina (open

Terrorism is a biological consequence of the multinationals, just as a day of fever is the reasonable price of an effective vaccine . . . The conflict is between great powers, not between demons and heroes. Unhappily, therefore, is the nation that finds the heroes underfoot, especially if they still think in religious terms and involve the population in their bloody ascent to an uninhabited paradise.

Umberto Eco, from Travels in Hyp

And we can celebrate when we have a government that has earned back the trust of the people it serves... when we have a government that honors our Constitution and stands up for the values that have made America, America: economic freedom, individual liberty, and personal responsibility.

John Boehner

I've surpassed any goal I set for myself as far as my body, my career, and getting married.

Ricki Lake

Despite my emphasis on technology, I do not view laws as inherently evil. My goals are political ones, even if my techniques are not. The only way to fundamentally succeed is by changing existing laws. If I rejected all help from the political arena I would inevitably fail.

Bram Cohen

You have to believe. Otherwise, it will never happen.

Neil Gaiman

I'm always looking for cool stuff to do because that's what we're supposed to do, ya know?
