Quote of the Day

Jim Henson knew no boundaries. Sometime in the mid-1960s he convened twenty of us together in London and said, as only he could, "Let’s do a children's show that brings peace to the world." We who knew him took it at face value and said, "Well, all right."

--Jerry Juhl on the creation of "Sesame Street"
 
Atheism is a non-prophet organization.


Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.


Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.


I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a guy nailed to two pieces of wood.


I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.


George Carlin
 
When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy itself.

Isaac Asimov
 
Background: Laura Schroff, 35, befriended Maurice Mazyck, 11, in 1986 after seeing him begging on the street on her way to work every day in New York City. She helped him turn his life around and he now runs his own business and has a happy family of his own. The two are still friends.

When Laura offered to make Maurice lunch for school, he asked her to put it in a brown paper bag.

“When kids in this neighborhood see you walk in with a paper bag, they know someone cares about you.” -- Maurice Mazyck

No, it’s "Nein", and you’re right, it wasn’t in the “Art of War”. :D

Since you brought up “The God Father,” I wanted to add that I recently went wine tasting. I wasn’t too impressed with his wine, but I was impressed with the Tucker Sedan. Here’s another picture. I love old cars. Some of the Tuckers were valued at $1,200,000. I haven’t watched the movie yet, though.

I've started daydreaming again...It's been a long while. Probably all the way back to my Teens since I've really done this (seriously).

The following quote describes how I feel and it is the crown jewel of Wisdom from this person.

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. -Seven Pillars of Wisdom (1922), T.E Lawrence

The winery has a pool, wow! The movie was good. I won’t spoil it for you, but many people said that capitalism died in 1949.

Usually, the stuff that's your best idea or work is going to be attacked the most.~Francis Ford Coppola
 
"Racism is dumb. I mean, there's so many good reasons to hate people on an individual basis."
