Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded.

No one's death comes to pass without making some impression, and those close to the deceased inherit part of the liberated soul and become richer in their humanness.

Hermann Broch

The conscious purpose of science is control of Nature its unconscious effect is disruption and chaos.

William Shakespeare

There was this mountain village in Russia where my music was getting in on some German radio station. I remember this because music used to get up to Saskatchewan from Texas. Late at night after the local station closed down.

Joni Mitchell

Taste every fruit of every tree in the garden at least once. It is an insult to creation not to experience it fully. Temperance is wickedness.

George Bernard Shaw

I love to eat, and if I could, I'd eat every second of my life.

If I have a thousand ideas and only one turns out to be good, I am satisfied.

Alfred Nobel

My training as an engineer has enabled me to design the stuff, but the reason I do it is not to make music but for the opportunity to work with musicians.

Robert Moog

These are areas of unparalleled natural beauty to be handed to our children undisturbed. We are merely custodians. You would not build a toll plaza and an administration block in the Grand Canyon or next to the Victoria Falls or within any other World Heritage Site.

Lewis Gordon Pugh

Life is a long preparation for something that never happens.

William Butler Yeats
