In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.

Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.

Pablo Picasso

I don't watch the movies I make, so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me.

Kevin Bacon

These martyrs of patriotism gave their lives for an idea.

Schuyler Colfax

I have seldom known a person, who deserted the truth in trifles and then could be trusted in matters of importance.

Babe Paley

A friend is long sought, hardly found, and with difficulty kept.

St. Jerome

War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Death is the great hope of all life the desire to expend itself to be used and consumed by its own longing for itself.

Bryant H. McGill

It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.

Johann von Goethe

Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.

Paulo Coelho

No man is poor who has a Godly mother.

Abraham Lincoln

American planes full of holes and wounded men and corpses took off backwards from an airfield in England. Over France a few German fighter planes flew at them backwards sucked bullets and shell fragments from some of the planes and crewmen. They did the same for wrecked American bombers on the ground and those planes flew up backwards to join the formation. The formation flew backwards over a German city that was in flames. The bombers opened their bomb bay doors exerted a miraculous magnetism which shrunk the fires gathered them into cylindrical steel containers and lifted the containers into the bellies of the planes. The containers were stored neatly in racks. The Germans below had miraculous devices of their own which were long steel tubes. They used them to suck more fragments from the crewmen and planes. But there were still a few wounded Americans though and some of the bombers were in bad repair. Over France though German fighters came up again made everything and everybody as good as new. When the bombers got back to their base the steel cylinders were taken from the racks and shipped back to the United States of America where factories were operating night and day dismantling the cylinders separating the dangerous contents into minerals. Touchingly it was mainly women who did this work. The minerals were then shipped to specialists in remote areas. It was their business to put them into the ground to hide them cleverly so they would never hurt anybody ever again.

Kurt Vonnegut

Take it from me, whenever you see a bunch of buggers puttering around talking about truth and beauty and the best way of attacking Ethics, you can bet your sandals it's all because dozens of other poor buggers are doing all the real work around the place.
