I think in most jobs, you get better as you get older. You gain experience, you gain knowledge.

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

Richard Dawkins

Not even a suicide does away with himself out of desperation, he considers the act so long and so deliberately, that he kills himself with thinking -- one could barely call it suicide since it is thinking which takes his life. He does not kill himself with deliberation but rather kills himself because of deliberation.

You are forever alone.

John Buchanan Robinson

Wisdom is your perspective on life, your sense of balance, your understanding of how the various parts and principles apply and relate to each other. It embraces judgment, discernment, comprehension. It is a gestalt or oneness, and integrated wholeness.

Stephen Covey

One must ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Learn to live, love and laugh....And to enjoy a good story when there is one to be heard.

Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring, through obeying the blind urge.

Henry Miller

Life is about choices. Some we regret, some were proud of. Some will haunt us forever. 'Black Rain' was very much about choices. The message - we are what we chose to be.

Graham Brown
