"If I were to think of and dwell on disastrous possibilities, I could do nothing. I throw myself headlong into my work, and come up again with my studies. If the storm within gets too loud, I take a glass too much to stun myself." - Vincent van Gogh
"In most communities, it is illegal to cry 'fire' in a crowded assembly. Should it mot be considered serious international misconduct to manufacture a general war scare in an effort to achieve local political means?"- Dwight D Eisenhower

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."- Martin Luther King Jr

"may my heart always be open to little birds who are the secrets of living whatever they sing is better than to know and if men should not hear them men are old
may my mind stroll about hungry and fearless and thirsty and supple and even if it's sunday may i be wrong for whenever men are right they are not young
and may myself do nothing usefully and love yourself so more than truly there's never been quite such a fool who could fail pullling the sky over him with one smile."- e e cummings
"One is happy as a result of one's own efforts, once one knows the necessary ingredients of happiness - simple tastes, a certain degree of courage, self-denial to a point, love of work, and, above all, a clear conscience. Happiness is no vague dream, of that I now feel certain. By the proper use of experience and thought one can draw much from oneself, by determination and patience once can even restore one's health... so let us live life as it is, and not be ungrateful."- George Sand
"If you don't know, come to learn. If you know, come to teach." - relayed by Dr H S Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn,burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." - Jack Kerouac
"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin-real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished buisness, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Happiness is a journey, not a destination."- Alfred D Souza
"The test of a man or woman's breeding is how they behave in a quarrel."- George Bernard Shaw
"The sports editors had also given me $300 in cash, most of which was already spent on extremely dangerous drugs. The trunk of the car looked like a mobile police narcotics lab. We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-power blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.
All of this had been rounded up the night before, ina frenzy of high-speed driving all over Los Angeles County- from Topanga to Watts, we picked up everything we could egt our hands on. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can." - Dr Hunter S Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
"Sitting full in the moment, I practiced the god-awful difficulty of just paying attention. It's a contention of Heat Moon's- believeing as he does any traveler who misses the journey misses about all he's going to get- that a man becomes his attentions. His observations and curiosity, they make and remake him. Etymology: curious, related to cure, once meant "carefully observant." Maybe a tonic of curiosity would counter my numbing sense that life inevitably creeps toward absurd. Absurd, by the way derives froma Latin word meaning "deaf or dulled".... STOP LOOK LISTEN, the old railroad crossing signs warn." - William Least Heat Moon, Blue Highways
"Today I weep for my country... Around the globe, our friends mistrust us, our word is disputed, our intentions are questioned... The case this administration tries to make to justify this fixation with war is tainted by charges of falsified documents and circumstantial evidence... We cannot convince the world of the necessity of this war for one simple reason- this is a war of choice!"- United States Senator Robert Byrd, March 10, 2003
"The death of someone we know always reminds us that we are still alive - perhaps for some purpose which we ought to re-examine."- Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook
"We'll call you when you're six years old, And drag you to the factory, To train your brain for eighteen years With promise of security. But then you're free And forty years you waste to chase the dollar sign So you may die in Florida, At the pleasant age of sixty nine.
The water's getting hard to drink. We've mangled up the country side. The air will choke you when you breathe. We're all committing suicide But it's alright. It's progress folks keep pushin' till your body rots. Will strip the earth of all it's green And then divide her into parking lots....
You're free to speak your mind my friend, As long as you agree with me. Don't criticize the father land Or those who shape your destiny. 'Cause if you do You'll lose your job your mind and all the friends you knew. We'll send out all our boys in blue They'll find a way to silence you!
But there's nothing you and I can do, You and I are only two. What's right and wrong is hard to say? Forget about it for today. We'll stick our heads into the sand- Just pretend that all is grand- Then hope that everything turns out ok ." - Steppenwolf, "The Ostrich"
"Beware thoughts that come in the night. They aren't turned properly; they come in askew, free of sense and restriction, deriving from the most remote of sources." - William Least Heat Moon, Blue Highways

" Man is not to direct or be directed, anymore than a tree or a cloud or a stone. Man is not to rule or to be ruled, anymore than a faith or a truth or a love. Man i not to doubt or to be doubted, anymore than a wave or a seed or a fire. There is no problem in living which life hasn't answered to it's own need. And we cannot direct, rule, or doubt what is beyond our highest ability to understand. We can only be humble before it. We can only worship ourselves because we are a part of it." - Kenneth Patchen

"Relax....It's just a party."- from the motion picture, Groove
"I stand on this spot with my soul." - Walt Whitman
" We choose- or we choose not- to be alone when we decide whom we will accept as our fellows, and whom we will reject. Thus an eremite in a mountain cave is in company, because the birds and coneys, the initiates whose words live in his 'forest books,' and the winds- the messengers of the Increate- are his companions. Another man, living in the midst of millions, may be alone, because there are none but enemies and victims around him." - Gene Wolfe, The Citadel of the Autarch

"When all is said and done, I wish I needed no one. Never was it up to me; just something in her way that sets me free. It seems so easy. And yeah I try to pay attention But there's only four things running through my mind... How hard will it be if she is nice to me? How bad will it get if I let her get to know me? Should she see the willing dog or should I be a jungle cat? And most of all, my god, how does she make her eyes do that? "Johnny, be brave," I say inside. As I won't take a bite from the apple that she gave me, but that's not what I'm after. Still all along, my mother's voice singing "Treat her like a lady." And yeah I try to pay attention... but there's only four things running through my mind."- Blues Traveler
"I had a reaction. I'm human, what do you want from me?."- from the motion picture, Normal
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies... a theft who from those who hunger and are not fed." - Dwight D. Eisenhower
"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of,because words diminish them,- words shrink things that seem limitless when they were in your head to no moe than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations taht cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear." - Stephen King, "The Body" in Different Seasons
"These trained conversations are passing me by And I don't have nothing to say You get what you pay for But I just had no intention of living this way... And I get no answers And I don't get no change... There's things I remember and things I forget. I miss you. I guess that I should; Three thousand five hundred miles away... But what would you change if you could?... And I wish it was a small world."- Counting Crows
"It was all been here for me, just as it has all been here for you, the best and worst of Western Civilization, if you cared to pay attention: music, finance, government, architecture, law and sculpture and painting, history and medicine and athletics and every sort of science, and books, books, books and teachers and role models. People so smart you can't believe it, and people so dumb you can't believe it. People so nice you can't believe it, and people so mean you can't believe it."- Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake
"America will go to war; indeed, is at War now.
America's face is smiling. A new blood quickens her step; her mills and foundries are pouring out black smoke in a frenzy of exultation- but do not be deceived: it is a false, painted bloom on the face of a corpse; America does a crazy jig-step behind the screeching bands and the banners proudly carried by the moronic schoolboys upon whom she depends-but her breasts swing flabbily and are without milk- great red-handed whore filling the air with fighting planes, and the sea with destoyers: your struggle is useless, already the death rattle can be heard in your throat.
What a murderous cheat and liar you are!
You have crippled and destroyed; you have burnt and pillaged; you have defiled and degraded every decent impulse of my people; you have butchered and laid waste to man's very soul." - Kenneth Patchen, The Journal of Albion Moonlight
"Desperation became clear One false move and your world would tear... Abandon thoughts that no one cares Let melodies comfort in your scares ... Choose life rude boy.... choose life rude girl...

"I can't tell you never to fight. But if you ask me I think the only thing that keeps people truely safe and happy is love.

And in that abscence of love, there is nothing in this world worth fighting for." - from the motion picture, The War
"I lost my membership card to the human race So don’t forget the face Because I know that I do belong here Go down the checklist let’s see: Feelings are good Dishonesty is bad And keeping it inside is worse still If you want problems well I guess we got one now I really don’t know how There’s injuns over every goddamn hill What do you want me to say? What do you want me to do? To let you know that I do feel....I cannot cry at will but I do wish I could, Cause it’d do you some good " - The Dismemberment Plan
"You, you try, you try to get by. "You're never going to pull it off", "You shouldn't even try" "You're a wet cigarette", "You're always second best", but they're never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves. You fight for them to realize; there's more to life, there's more to you, there's more than meets the eye. And when you're done, the battle's been won. You sit back, you smile and this is what you hum, you hum....The years go by, the time it does fly. Every single second is a moment in time that passes oh, so quick and it seems like nothing, but when you're looking back, well it amounts to everything. I've got myself. I've got my friends. I've got my little family, but that's not where it ends. This one goes out to you, it goes out to everyone. It's in the name of honesty because life has just begun"- Catch 22

" 'Yeah,that, but especially 'any man's death diminshes me, because I am involved in mankind.' I believed that.' MacLyle repeatted. 'I believed more than that. Not only death.

"Sleeping through the evening singing dreams inside my head. I'm heading out I've got some ins who say they care and they just might I run away with you if things don't go as planned Planning big could be a gamble. I've already rolled the dice. I spit and stutter stuff a clutter worries in my worried corner Maladjusted and untrusted, rusted, sometimes brilliant busted thoughts. Think I'll stay for a while I'm intrigued and I'm red as a newborn white as a corpse.... I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind. Promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine. Promise not to lie if I'm looking you straight in the eye. Promise not to try not to let you down ." - Eve 6
"Feelin pretty good and that's the truth It's neither drink nor drug induced No I'm just doin alright
And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes There's some hard times in the neigborhood But why can't every day be just this good? ...Said good luck to every seed I'd sewn Give it my best and then I left it alone Oh,I hope they're doin' alright....Now I look in the mirror and what do I see? A lone wolf there starin back at me Long in the tooth but harmless as can be Lord I guess he's doin' alright
Sometimes it's lonely Sometimes it's only me And the shadows that fill this room Sometimes I'm fallin' Desperately callin' Howlin' at the moon... Ahwoo! Ahwoo!....Well I might go get me a new tattoo Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise Might even grow me a Fu Man Chu..

"Spring has returned. The earth is like a child that knows poems." - Rainer Maria Rilke
"Maybe it's resting in the arms of Jesus, or just a cloudy windy day in the trees
But since there's an infinite amount of angels, and Infinite has no 's,' it must be one angel
Infinites Angels? Maybe that bird that floats hill belly on the wind up there, and that cat that pats in this grass, is the same Infinite Worldwide Angel." - Jack Kerouac, Book Of Blues
"I know that I'm not alone. The treasure of my heart is calling on the telephone. I've got my friends around me; they don't seem to hate me yet. My family leaves me cash and they're not strict about the debt. And the world is a place where the most important thing you can learn is this, To submit to the will of the man upstairs and don't get too wrapped up in yourself. And so I guess this is kind of an amatuer prayer for people trying to find their own way, a request for the strength and a reminder to resist when the well-meaning naysayers say... Wait ago you did it even though you didn't do it, though everybody here is doing right on. So I drink a little, take a break, a break I didn't really need, after that I'm doing right on." - Pain

"But on the eve of great battle with the infantry in dream The old general tossed in his sleep And wrestled with its meaning He awoke from the night to tell what he had seen And walked slowly out of his tent. All the men held tall with their chests in the air With a courage in their blood And a fire in their stare It was a gray morning and they all wondered how they would fare 'Til the old general told them to go home. He said, "I have seen the others And I have discovered that this fight is not worth fighting And I've seen their mothers And I will no other to follow me where I'm going.

Most people think there really is a Pontius Pilot Athletic Club."- Kurt Vonnegut Jr, Happy Birthday, Wanda June

"What's the difference of never knowing at all? When every step I take is always too small. Maybe it's just something I can't admit but lately, I feel like I don't give a shit...What's the point of never making mistakes? Self-indulgence is such a hard habit to brake. It's all just a waste of time in the end. I don't care so why should I even pretend....Motivation such an aggravation, Accusations don't know how to take them. Inspiration's getting hard to fake it. Concentration's never hard to brake it. Situation never what you want it."- Sum 41

"I have had some experiences with love, or think I have, anyway, although the ones I have liked best could easily be described as 'common decency.'

"Down through the ceiling comes a fire siren and people screaming that we're supposed to ignore. Then gunshots and tires squealing, sounds that we have to pretend are okay. They don't mean anything.
