    "Don't talk like you're one of them! You're not... even if you'd like to be. To them you're just a freak, like me. They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out. Like a leper. See, their morals, their "code"... it's a bad joke, dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these uh, these "civilized people," they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve"-The Joker.

    no matter how painful your situation might be,
    you can survive it.

    Figueres is in Catalonia. Many of the people who live there don't like being called Spanish. They have their own language, which is not easily understood by Spaniards. They often have surnames that don't quite look Spanish, like "Dali."

    When you get into a tight place
    and everything goes against you,
    till it seems you cannot hold on a minute longer,
    never give up then, for that is just
    the place and time the tide will turn.
    - Harriet Beecher Stowe

    Successful men and women keep moving.
    They make mistakes, but they don't quit.
    - Conrad Hilton

    Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman,
    before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.
    - John Quincy Adams

    Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.


    The advance of genetic engineering makes it quite conceivable that we will begin to design our own evolutionary progress.


    I never considered myself a patriot. I like to think I recognize only humanity as my nation.


    There never can be a man so lost as one who is lost in the vast and intricate corridors of his own lonely mind, where none may reach and none may save.


    If you ask for too much, you lose even that which you have.
