A world worth living in and for. ~ Edward Hoagland

The truth of life is that every year we get farther away from the essence that is born within us. We get shouldered with burdens, some of them good, some of them not so good. Things happen to us. Loved ones die. People get in wrecks and get crippled. People lose their way, for one reason or another. It's not hard to do, in this world of crazy mazes.

It's like smiling at a pretty girl and she calls you 'sir'. It just happens. ~ Robert McCammon

Other people are likely not to be aware that those who pursue philosophy aright study nothing but dying and being dead.

They move past you and they wear hats and they carry bundles. But that's not the substance of them. The substance of them is hatred for any man who loves his work. That's the only kind they fear. I don't know why. You're opening yourself up, Roark, for each and every one of them."

Georgia O'Keeffe moved to rural New Mexico, from which she would sign her letters to the people she loved, "from the faraway nearby." It was a way to measure physical and psychic geography together.

Jealousy can instigate the cruellest act, or more to the point, hatred can. Miss Bennett was the one who found Nathan lying at the bottom of the stairs in the cellar, said he must have slipped or something, especially with one leg being so much weaker than the other. They as good people never would have suspected their own daughter of pushing him. That she never showed emotion over her brother's death was put down to trauma. I could see what they could not - a child incapable of any kind of feeling apart from selfishness.

She was then about seven years old with the face of an angel and a nature as cruel as anyone on death row. ~ Tami Egonu

It's the middle class that's being wiped out. It is most evil of all taxes. ~ Ron Paul
