And then there's all these other creeps that surround your band and suck off you like leeches and try to manipulate you and your business. You have to watch like a hawk. I'm always ready to fight. I see it very much as a battle.

Working with people from awareness means to be available. It means to respond with the truth in the moment. It means to respond to the moment in a way that creates a fragrance of love.

Swami Dhyan Giten

At 17, the smallest crises took on tremendous proportions; someone else's thoughts could take root in the loam of your own mind; having someone accept you was as vital as oxygen. Adults, light years away from this, rolled their eyes and smirked and said, 'This too shall pass' - as if adolescence was a disease like chicken pox, something everyone recalled as a milk nuisance, completely forgetting how painful it had been at the time.

Jodi Picoult

Cowardice... is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend functioning of the imagination.

Ernest Hemingway

Come friends, it's not too late to seek a newer world.

Alfred Tennyson

Physical objects are conceptually imported into the situation as convenient intermediaries not by definition in terms of experience, but simply as irreducible posits comparable, epistemologically, to the gods of Homer . . . For my part I do, qua lay physicist, believe in physical objects and not in Homer's gods; and I consider it a scientific error to believe otherwise. But in point of epistemological footing, the physical objects and the gods differ only in degree and not in kind. Both sorts of entities enter our conceptions only as cultural posits.

W.V.O. Quine

Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity a greater.

William Hazlitt

Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.

Martin Luther King Jr.

I'm not a politician and don't want any part of politics.

Calvin Klein

I shall soon be laid in the quiet grave - thank God for the quiet grave

John Keats, letter from Joseph S

Stop letting others define you! Stop letting others dilute you! You weren't created to live their life; you were created to live yours - so LIVE it! You can reignite that fire within and bring the passion back into your goals, dreams, ambitions, careers, and relationships by reclaiming control of your own life. Be unapologetically YOU!

Steve Maraboli

Let's win the peace and democracy the good people of Iraq so richly deserve after decades of tyranny.

Mike Pence

The question is how to bring a work of imagination out of one language that was just as taken-for-granted by the persons who used it as our language is by ourselves. Nothing strange about it.

Robert Fitzgerald
