You do not set the standard.  You have not walked in my footsteps, danced in my shoes, or lived in my world.  Do not judge me, point your fingers at me, or become experts on my life.  Instead celebrate with me in times of joy and cry with me in times of pain.  Only then will we begin to understand each other. ~ Kate Baker

Every time I see the Spice Girls, it makes me want to try to fly by climbing my roof and strapping bricks to my shoes. ~ Eddie Vedder

You have to study and learn so that you can make up your own mind about history and everything else but you can't make up an empty mind. Stock your mind. It is your house of treasure and no one in the world can interfere with it. If you won the Irish Sweepstakes and bought a house that needed furniture would you fill it with bits and pieces of rubbish? Your mind is your house and if you fill it with rubbish from the cinemas it will rot your head. You might be poor, your shoes might be broken but your mind is a palace. ~ Frank McCourt (from "Angela's Ashes")
