One's condition on marijuana is always existential. One can feel the importance of each moment and how it is changing one. One feels one's being, one becomes aware of the enormous apparatus of nothingness -- the hum of a hi-fi set, the emptiness of a pointless interruption, one becomes aware of the war between each of us, how the nothingness in each of us seeks to attack the being of others, how our being in turn is attacked by the nothingness in others.

Most schools have only a microwave or deep fryer, hardly the tools needed to feed our children real, fresh food.

Mark Hyman

It's too late for me to get married before I'm famous. You never know people's intentions.

Carmelo Anthony

We love in others what we lack in ourselves, and would be everything, but what we are.

Richard Henry Stoddard

An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it.

Jef Mallett

Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't go to yours.

Yogi Berra

When joy disappears, look for your mistake.

Leo Tolstoy

Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

From too much love of living, From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may be That no life lives for ever That dead men rise up never That even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea.

Algernon Charles Swinburne

The people who make art their business are mostly impostors.

Pablo Picasso

People who use their erudition to write for a learned minority... don't seem to me favored by fortune but rather to be pitied for their continuous self-torture. They add, change, remove, lay aside, take up, rephrase, show to their friends, keep for nine years and are never satisfied. And their futile reward, a word of praise from a handful of people, they win at such a cost -- so many late nights, such loss of sleep, sweetest of all things, and so much sweat and anguish... their health deteriorates, their looks are destroyed, they suffer partial or total blindness, poverty, ill-will, denial of pleasure, premature old age and early death.

Desiderius Erasmus

Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom.

Kevyn Aucoin

We are a party of innovation. We do not reject our traditions, but we are willing to adapt to changing circumstances, when change we must. We are willing to suffer the discomfort of change in order to achieve a better future.
