I was a 'Duck Hunt' and 'Mario' guy, and stuff like that. I was never technologically driven. I never had all the cool, new toys. I was the youngest child, I wasn't the only child, so I wasn't spoiled as a kid. And, we were on the farm, so we didn't have a lot. Also, with computers, I'm not very good with them. I just check my email.

Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.

William Blake

Money is the sixth sense that makes it possible to enjoy the other five.

Richard Ney

Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?

Pablo Picasso

For my name and memory I leave to men's charitable speeches, and to foreign nations and the next ages.

Francis Bacon

Long ago we conquered our passions looking at ourselves in the mirror of eternity.
