The phrase 'the fossil record' sounds impressive and authoritative. As used by some persons it becomes, as intended, intimidating, taking on the aura of esoteric truth as expounded by an elite class of specialists. But what is it, really, this fossil record? Only data in search of interpretation. All claims to the contrary that I know, and I know of several, are so much superstition.

Do you truly believe in the worthiness of your dreams? Do you truly think they are worth the consistent effort required to make them manifest? Once you truly believe, nothing can stop you but yourself, for such belief is the same power which creates and maintains all existence.

I think what I love most about writing is that feeling that you really nailed something. I rarely feel it with a whole piece, but sometimes with a line you feel that it really captured what it is that you had inside you and you got it out for a stranger to read, someone who may never love you or meet you, but he or she is going to get that experience from that line.

Andre Dubus

God himself culminates in the present moment, and will never be more divine in the lapse of all the ages.

Henry David Thoreau

The doctors x-rayed my head and found nothing.

Dizzy Dean

A man is never more serious than when he praise himself.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

Age is strictly a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

Jack Benny

The details are the very source of expression in architecture. But we are caught in a vice between art and the bottom line.

Arthur Erickson

Remember your true self. You are more than just flesh and bones; you are unlimited energy and power. Knowing this, you will understand why happiness and prosperity are your birth right.
