You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture.  Just get people to stop reading them. ~ Ray Bradbury

I came late to the dharma,
But each day, deepen my retreat.
Waiting for mountain monks,
I sweep my simple hut.
Then down from the cloudy peaks
You come through knee-deep weeds.
We kneel on tatami, munching pine nuts.
We burn incense and study the way.
Light the lamp at twilight;
A simple chime begins the night.
In every solitude, deep joy:
This life abides.
How can you think of returning?
A lifetime is empty like the Void.
~ Wang Wei

If you're bored with life - if you don't get up in the morning with a burning desire to do things - you haven't enough goals. ~ Lou Holtz

Let me savour this time.Let me capture this moment.
We've come this far to find that without a wind in the fire, the burning can smoulder.
Don't let this feeling die,
I don't ever want to loose it...

Sometimes you crash and burn, sometimes you're just plain on fire. ~ Unknown
