I personally like this quote:

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when Im older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life theres been heartache and pain
I dont know if I can face it again
Cant stop now, Ive traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

Im gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
Ive got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life theres been heartache and pain
I dont know if I can face it again
I cant stop now, Ive traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me

Lets talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and Im feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah

I wanna know what love is, lets talk about love
I want you to show me, I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel what love is, I want to feel it too
And I know and I know, I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
I wanna know what love is...

Okay, here’s why I like the following quote: because it makes me laugh.

Quote: If you can’t live without me, then why aren’t you dead yet?

I stumbled across this the other day and he has expressed precisely what I've not been able to fully articulate:

Disability is not a ‘Brave Struggle’ or
‘Courage in the face of Adversity’ …
Disability is an Art.
It’s an Ingenious Way to Live
~ Neil Marcus

Thank you, Mr. Marcus!

I have two favorite quotes.

"Well behaved women seldom make history"
and
"Be careful of the toes you step on today. They may be attached to the a$$ that you have to kiss tomorrow"

You can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish. – REO Speedwagon

I’d rather have a bottle in front of me then a frontal lobotomy. - unknown

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. – Arthur C. Clarke

Anyone who tries to make a distinction between education and entertainment doesn't know the first thing about either. – Marshall McLuhan

I wouldn't have seen it if I hadn't believed it. – Marshall McLuhan

Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication. – Marshall McLuhan

A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates it into something he can understand. – Bertrand Russell

Why do I like these quotes? I dunno – I’m just weird like that.

"Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you"

I dunno who said that, but I like it. For me it's about not forgetting to trust your gut instincts......doesn't mean you're nuts.

Another I saw in Time Magazine was a quote from Sean Penn regarding the movie Into the Wild he directed, based on the diary of a young man who turned away from his safe and normal conventional life and walked into the Alaska wilderness and unfortunately starved. The quote from Penn was in reference to the pretense and fake veneer that can make our outward personas seem artificial......

"The wilderness is ruthlessly authentic".

For me this strips away all the junk. There's no room for falseness and bullshit in the woods (or on the ocean). I think it's a "woman against the elements" thang....my feeling is you need to leave the mascara at home and you might find out what you're really made of, because essentially, once we take away all our constructed anthropogenic support systems, we are exceptionally vulnerable. Basically.... entering the food chain, and not at the top. You better have your caca together.

A couple of many,,,,,,

"The foundation of excellence is built with the quality of your actions and the integrity of your intent."

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
