Sometimes you don't know who you can and cannot trust. I still learn that over and over again.

Billy Joel

Common sense always speaks too late. Common sense is the guy who tells you ought to have had your brakes relined last week before you smashed a front end this week. Common sense is the Monday morning quarterback who could have won the ball game if he had been on the team. But he never is. He's high up in the stands with a flask on his hip. Common sense is the little man in a gray suit who never makes a mistake in addition. But it's always somebody else's money he's adding up.

Raymond Chandler

Thomas Alva Edison

If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud.

Instead of killing and dying in order to produce the being that we are not, we have to live and let live in order to create what we are.

Albert Camus
