I read the Life magazine articles about free love and free dope in California. At age 20 I drove to Los Angeles.

I love that feeling of being in love, the effect of having butterflies when you wake up in the morning. That is special.

Each person must live their life as a model for others.

Rosa Parks

Providence conceals itself in the details of human affairs, but becomes unveiled in the generalities of history.

Alphonse de Lamartine

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves, without any insistence that they satisfy you.

Wayne Dyer

Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, the right to life; secondly, to liberty; thirdly, to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. Those are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature.

Samuel Adams

Sometimes he caught himself listening to the sound of his own voice. He thought that in her eyes he would ascent to an angelical stature; and, as he attached the fervent nature of his companion more and more closely to him, he heard the strange impersonal voice which he recognised as his own, insisting on the soul's incurable lonliness. We cannot give ourselves, it said: we are our own.

James Joyce

He had reached his goal. He had climbed the unclimbable mountain

Christopher Paolini

Some people grumble because roses have thorns; I am thankful that the thorns have roses.

Alphonse Karr

Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because listen to pop music?

Life is so unfair that one is more likely to get into some sort of trouble than be rewarded if one attempts to do a good deed; many times one spends time and resources to help someone only to be totally ignored with not so much as a thank you.

John P. Grier

All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.

John Locke

The arts are an even better barometer of what is happening in our world than the stock market or the debates in congress.
