God isn't the son of Memory; He's the son of Immediate Experience. You can't worship a spirit in spirit, unless you do it now. Wallowing in the past may be good literature. As wisdom, it's hopeless.

I don't need anyone to rectify my existence. The most profound relationship we will ever have is the one with ourselves.

My grandpa notes the world's worn cogsAnd says we're going to the dogs.His grandpa in his house of logsSaid things were going to the dogs.His grandpa in the Flemish bogsSaid things were going to the dogs.His grandpa in his hairy togsSaid things were going to the dogs.But this is what I wish to state.The dogs have had an awful wait.

I'm not a big fan of Women's Liberation, but maybe it will help women stand up for the respect they're due.

Loretta Lynn

As we free our breath (through diaphragmatic breathing) we relax our emotions and let go our body tensions.

Gay Hendricks

Freedom is the last, best hope of earth.

Abraham Lincoln

The deepest experience of the creator is feminine, for it is experience of receiving and bearing.

Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters of R

You were not in control You had no visibility: maybe there was a car in front of you, maybe not.

Alain Prost

It's funny with fiction - once you cut something, it hasn't happened anymore.
