In our wildest aberrations we dream of an equilibrium we have left behind and which we naively expect to find at the end of our errors. Childish presumption which justifies the fact that child-nations, inheriting our follies, are now directing our history.

Albert Camus

Don't be afraid to give up the good for the great.

Kenny Rogers

Willie Stargell

The more abstract the truth you want to teach, the more thoroughly you must seduce the senses to accept it.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I never - you know also one of the things that would save me for a man my age, it was not that easy to lose that much weight and fall down and look like something draped.

Mark Twain

James Thurber

I give myself strength by staying away from any music.

Alannah Myles
