A few quotes that have found their ways into my heart and mind.

"You gave up something and got something else. Or you worked for something. You paid some way for everything that was any good...Either you paid by learning about them, or by experience, or by taking chances, or by money. Enjoy living was learning to get your money's worth. The world was a good place to buy in."

"Perhaps as you went along you did learn something... Maybe if you found out how to live in it, you learned from that waht it was all about." ---Ernest Hemingway, "The Sun Also Rises"

"The results was the same: sex or no sex, at eight o'clock I would find myself back at the same point in my life."--Roland Barthes, "Incidents"

What do you want? Why are you here?
--It's nature! It's love.

I am afraid I'm falling in love with you. It's a problem. What should I do?
--Give me your address.

"The choices that we made dictate the lives that we lead." ---Danny DeVito, "Renaissance Man"

Next to God, the coyote is the smartest creature. Like us human, the coyote is both coward and brave, scheming and cunning. But, most of all, it is a survivor. --- National Geography on "Coyote"

I held still, thinking how beautiful he was. How gently strong and gallantly tender. ---Dejah Thoris Burroughs, "The Number of the Beast."

When do the dead die?
When they are forgotten.
When does a city disappear?
When it no longer exists in the memory of those who lived there.
When does love cease?
When one begins to love anew. Of this, there is no doubt.

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

Learning in old age is writing on sand; but learning in youth is engraving on stone.

I hear, and I forget
I see, and I remember
I do, and I understand

Every Calm precedes a Storm.

Life is like a dream. Eventually, we all have to wake up.
