There are days when I miss my old convictions as if they were an amputated limb. But in general I feel better, and no less radical, and you will feel better too, I guarantee, once you leave hold of the doctrinaire and allow your chainless mind to do its own thinking.

Strange that the vanity which accompanies beauty - excusable, perhaps, when there is such great beauty, or at any rate understandable -should persist after the beauty was gone.

For me, I've derived from religion... what... I enjoy... and it's to go to church, but usually... when there's nobody else there. I just love that moment, ah, to just sit there. It's very peaceful, very calm, and very therapeutic, and it's... wonderful.

But because many endeavor to get knowledge rather than to live well, they are often deceived and reap little or no benefit from their labor.

Thomas a Kempis

The strength of a man isn't seen in the power of his arms. It's seen in the love with which he EMBRACES you.

Steve Maraboli

Old people love to give good advice to console themselves for no longer being able to set a bad example.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

A dog will make eye contact. A cat will, too, but a cat
