If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise.

Robert Fritz



The people who are regarded as moral luminaries are those who forego ordinary pleasures themselves and find compensation in interfering with the pleasures of others.

Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)



Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.

A. Sachs



He not busy being born is busy dying.

Bob Dylan (1941 - )



A man should not leave this earth with unfinished business. He should live each day as if it was a pre-flight check. He should ask each morning, am I prepared to lift-off?

Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, All is Vanity, 1991



Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)


As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519)

Here's to the crazy ones

Here's to the crazy ones,
the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers,
The round pegs in the square holes,
the ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, I see genius.
Because the ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

Believe Nothing, no matter where you read it, or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
