I pulled an arm away because I didn't want to hear this. I actually needed to feel I was alone. Why did I need the grief of others? Wasn't mine enough? Why did I need to feel that this abandonment was plural, when it was heavy enough singular? The best way ahead that I could see was to drag this thing off and digest it on my own, like a python with an outsized kill. ~ Sebastian Faulks (from "Engleby")

Everyone can understand that being human, you want a happy life, a happy family, to be a happy individual. But material things will not provide you with genuine inner peace or inner happiness. Human values are essential. We must find a way to present basic human values to everyone—and present them not as religious matters but as secular ethics that are essential whether you are religious or not. ~ The Dalai Lama, (from "Ethics for a Secular Millennium")

Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake. ~ Marie Beynon Ray

I began to observe other people. I noticed quite a few who define themselves by the drama that surrounds them, and then there are those who think being a victim is the way to get people to love you. Some like to belittle in order to feel superior, while others charge into the world with way too much audacity, a sure sign of insecurities ahead. This is not to say that I don't recognize myself in each and every one of the aforementioned traits. But I do know that my yoga practice has helped with the ongoing task of removing many of my masks. It has also helped me realize that each new day is another opportunity to bravely chose not to define myself, or let myself be defined, by negativity in any form.
And so it is that my perceptions have begun to shift. Maybe its not that I'm hiding things, maybe I'm simply handling them. ~ Rita Trieger

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a sun
In somebody else's sky
But why
Why
Why can't it be
Why can't it be mine

I would like to thank a world that never understood or accepted me, family and friends that never believed in me, and a God with one hell of a sense of humour. You have all made me what I am today. Let that weigh heavily on your consciences. ~ David Draiman, lead singer of Disturbed

If you think any human system of justice is infallible, then you are ignorant. If you think that no person has been falsely condemned to death, then you are naive. If you think that one innocent person, ripped from their life and their passion and put to death at the hands of the state is in any way justifiable, then you are evil. ~ Joshua W. H. Steiner

There is more probability of aliens than there is of god so why is it that when someone says they believe in aliens, they are completely crazy? But if they believe in some all powerful invisible dude in the sky, they are on the road to success? ~ Unknown

After a While
After a while you learn
The subtle difference between
Holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
And company doesn't always mean security.
And you begin to learn
That kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes ahead
With the grace of a woman
Not the grief of a child.
And you learn
To build all your roads on today
Because tomorrow's ground is
Too uncertain for plans
And futures have a way
Of falling down in mid flight.
After a while you learn
That even sunshine burns if you get too much
So you plant your own garden
And decorate your own soul
Instead of waiting
For someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn
That you really can endure
That you are really strong
And you really do have worth
And you learn and you learn
With every good bye you learn.
~Veronica A. Shoffstall

With every passing hour our solar system comes 43 000 miles closer to globular cluster M13 in the constellation Hercules, and still there are some misfits who continue to insist that there is no such thing as progress. ~ Ransom K. Ferm

The Russians used a pencil.
