“What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt
it is sure to get where it is going and it doesn't want to go anywhere else.”

"Judge yourself if you feel the need
Just let me known to be
In search of the truth myself
There is a drop of blood on the ground
And it seems to me that it's not my kind
And I can't be sure if its yours or mine."

Godfather. wrote:90% of the people believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, they just don't know it yet. When they're on their death bed, they'll smell the garlic bread. You just need faith and an unflinching desire to spend trillions of dollars to protect ourselves from the other pasta religion terrorists.

Godfather.


wow, I don't think I've ever been quoted before. :D

"The hero . . . discovers and assimilates his opposite (his own unsuspected self) either by swallowing it or by being swallowed. One by one the resistances are broken. He must put aside his pride, his virtue, beauty and life, and bow or submit to the absolutely intolerable. Then he finds he and his opposite are not of differing species, but one flesh." - Joseph Campbell

Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive.
One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life...
I'd rather live on a side of a mountain, than wonder through concrete and steel, I'd rather laugh with the rain and sunshine...

I am the shoreline, but you're the sea...

"I’m gonna let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt, a catnap in your office chair or two cups of good, hot, black coffee."

“I’ve worked in an economy that rewards someone who saves the lives of others on a battlefield with a medal, rewards a great teacher with thank-you notes from parents, but rewards those who can detect the mispricing of securities with sums reaching into the billions.”
--Warren Buffet

“We need a tax system that takes very good care of people who just really aren’t as well adapted to the market system, and to capitalism, but are nevertheless just as good citizens, and are doing things that are of use in society.”
--Warren Buffet
“We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from life.”
