"People need to see that, far from being an obstacle, the world's diversity of languages, religions, and traditions is a great treasure, affording us precious opportunities to recognize ourselves in others." ~Youssou N'Dour, musician.

"Between the brain and hands must be the heart!"
- from a 1927 German film "When an extraordinary man hears of the Way, he will practice it diligently. When an avaerge person hears of the Way, he will agree with it half-heartedly. When a foolish man hears of the Way, he will laugh at it loudly. If he does not laugh, what he has heard is not the Way." - From Daoism. "If I can determine the enemy's disposition of forces while I have no perceptible form, then I can concentrate my forces while the enemy is fragmented. The pinnacle of military deployment approaches the formless; if it is formless, then the deepest spy cannot discern it, nor the wise make plans against it." - from the game Alpha Centauri, allegedly quoting Sun Zi. |

"There's no such thing as a free lunch" one of the addisms that my father likes to say, and its pretty much valid in this capitalistic rat race we live in. I know he didn't coin it, actually I'd love to know where this pharase comes from, if anybody knows let me know.

A few of my favorite Bette Davis quotes:
-"Old age is no place for sissies. " -"Sex is God's joke on human beings. " -"The key to life is accepting challenges. Once someone stops doing this, he's dead." -"This has always been a motto of mine: Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work." -"A sure way to lose happiness, I found, is to want it at the expense of everything else. " A few of my favorite Woody Allen quotes: -"Eighty percent of success is showing up." -"His lack of education is more than compensated for by his keenly developed moral bankruptcy." -"I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying." -"It seemed the world was divided into good and bad people. The good ones slept better... while the bad ones seemed to enjoy the waking hours much more." Woody Allen and Bette Davis were quote machines. lol |

"It's Just that... you have all these squishy parts, master. And all that water! How the constant sloshing doesn't drive you mad, I have no idea..."
-HK-47 "When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realized that The Lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me." - Emo Philips

Some quotes from great people of society I draw inspiration from (yes, I have more quotes).
"We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles." - Thomas Edison "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C. Clarke "Artillery adds dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl." - Frederick the Great "People can have the Model T in any color - so long as it's black." - Henry Ford "The whole is more than the sum of its parts." - Aristotle |

"There is nothing so annoying as to be fairly rich, of a fairly good family, pleasing presence, average education, to be "not stupid," kind-hearted, and yet to have no talent at all, no originality, not a single idea of one's own-- to be, in fact, "just like everyone else"
Of such people there are countless numbers in this world- far more even than appear. They can be divided into two classes as all men can- that is, those of limited intellect, and those who are much cleverer. The former of these classes is the happier." Fyodor Dostoevsky. "The Idiot." |
