...I pluck every day from my sweater or chair, red hairs...strands of significance, traces of you in my life ...

Home is one's birthplace, ratified by memory.

Henry Anatole Grunwald

Attitudes are the forerunners of conditions.

Eric Butterworth

The idea is, if I can't heal from my art, then how can you heal?

Maynard James Keenan

There were honest people long before there were Christians and there are, God be praised, still honest people where there are no Christians. It could therefore easily be possible that people are Christians because true Christianity corresponds to what they would have been even if Christianity did not exist.

G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

There are no limits to either time or distance, except as man himself may make them. I have but to touch the wind to know these things.

Hal Borland, An American Year

You have to be grateful to existence that it has chosen you to be a passage for a few beautiful children. But you are not to interfere in their growth, in their potential. You are not to impose yourself upon them. They are not going to live in the same times, they are not going to face the same problems. They will be part of another world. Don´t prepare them for this world, this society, this time, because then you will be creating troubles for them. They will find themselves unfit, unqualified.

Osho

We need only travel enough to give our intellects an airing.

Henry David Thoreau

In the aftermath of the recent wave action in the Indian Ocean, even the archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williamson [], proved himself a latter-day Voltairean by whimpering that he could see how this might shake belief in a friendly creator. Williamson is of course a notorious fool, who does an almost perfect imitation of a bleating and frightened sheep, but even so, one is forced to rub one's eyes in astonishment. Is it possible that a grown man could live so long and still have his personal composure, not to mention his lifetime job description, upset by a large ripple of seawater?

Christopher Hitchens

The security comes, as an actor, in knowing that you're not in control. If you try to control your career, or how people perceive you, you'll make yourself unhappy, because life doesn't work like that. So much is luck. It's much better to let yourself off, to think, 'There's nothing I can do.'

Matthew Macfadyen

Health and education are always issues.

Helen Clark

The denunciation of the young is a necessary part of the hygiene of older people, and greatly assists the circulation of the blood.

Logan P. Smith

I wish that the people who sing about the deeds of heroes would think about the people who have to clear up after them.

Terry Pratchett
