I don't know if it's possible to live the rock 'n roll lifestyle and still be romantic.

But Philip was impatient with himself; he called to mind his idea of the pattern of life: the unhappiness he had suffered was no more than part of a decoration which was elaborate and beautiful; he told himself strenuously that he must accept with gaiety everything, dreariness and excitement, pleasure and pain, because it added to the richness of the design.

W. Somerset Maugham

Imagination is the highest form of research.

Albert Einstein

One of the more positive aspects of our existence in Oceania is that truth is flexible and negotiable, despite attempts by some of us to impose political, religious, and other forms of absolutionism. Versions of truth may be accepted for particular purposes and moments, only to be reversed when circumstances demand other versions; and we often accede to things just to stop being bombarded, and then go ahead and do what we want to do anyway.

Epeli Hau'ofa

If I had been on 'Bowling for Dollars,' I'd wind up owing them money.

Ricki Lake

Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.

Vaclav Havel

When I do good, I feel good when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.

Abraham Lincoln

May you live all the days of your life.

Jonathan Swift

All good things are wild, and free.

Henry David Thoreau
