I did find some time to go to a record store and check out 'Headstrong' actually in the racks. It was pretty cool I never thought I'd see my own CD sitting there with everyone else's. I made my Mom take lots of pics!

But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.

George Orwell

Samuel Goldwyn

Albert Camus

John O. Brennan

An honest man speaks the truth, though it may give offence a vain man, in order that it may.

William Hazlitt

Physical pleasure is a sensual experience no different from pure seeing or the pure sensation with which a fine fruit fills the tongue; it is a great unending experience, which is given us, a knowing of the world, the fullness and the glory of all knowing. And not our acceptance of it is bad; the bad thing is that most people misuse and squander this experience and apply it as a stimulant at the tired spots of their lives and as distraction instead of a rallying toward exalted moments.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Divorce is the one human tragedy that reduces everything to cash.

Rita Mae Brown

The people heard it, and approved the doctrine, and immediately practiced the contrary.

Benjamin Franklin

The proverbial German phenomenon of the verb-at-the-end about which droll tales of absentminded professors who would begin a sentence, ramble on for an entire lecture, and then finish up by rattling off a string of verbs by which their audience, for whom the stack had long since lost its coherence, would be totally nonplussed, are told, is an excellent example of linguistic recursion.
