They say if you outlaw guns, only outlaws and criminal will have guns. Well, shit, those are precisely the people who need them.

George Carlin

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

The Canvas of My Life
by janstevie


On the canvas of my life
I have seen many paintings
Of the times gone by
All left my heart aching

As the canvas gets full
And the corners start fading
I search for a place
To draw my lifes ending

Will there be enough paint
To draw two people
Or will i run out of space
And forever be single.

Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies. -Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, philosopher (1844-1900)

Rachel Carson
 

"If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to preside over the christening of all children, I should ask that her gift be a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life, as an unfailing antidote against the boredom and disenchantments of later years, the sterile preoccupation of things artificial, the alienation from the sources of our strength." ~ Rachel Carson in The Sense of Wonder.


"Those who contemplate the beauty of the Earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter." ~Rachel Carson in Silent Spring.

Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around.
~ Katharine Hepburn

A Christmas Story

A gift from a friend:
 

There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you.... In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself.
~Ruth Stout

Giving a pep talk, "Men, I want you just thinking of one word all season. One word and one word only: Super Bowl."

~ Bill Peterson, Houston Oilers Head Coach
