Words to Live By
Sometimes life is merely a matter of coffee and whatever intimacy a cup of coffee affords.
Richard Brautigan
War does not determine who is right, only who is left.
Bertrand Russell
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Buddha

There is a crack in everything. That is how the light gets in.
-Leonard Cohen
I am what I am, Leila, and if there are self-made purgatories, then we all have to live in them. Mine can be no worse than anyone elses.
-Spock, "This Side of Paradise"
Religion. It's given people hope in a world torn apart by religion.

Points to Ponder
Not all of us drink because we are poets. Some of us drink because we are not. -Arthur Bach
A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her.
Oscar Wilde

The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not.
Eric Hoffer
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.
Albert Einstein, in defense of Bertrand Russell
Whatever talents I possess may suddenly diminish or suddenly increase. I can with ease become an ordinary fool. I may be one now. But it doesn't do to upset one's own vanity.
Dylan Thomas
You can’t say that civilization don’t advance, however, for in every war they kill you in a new way.
- Will Rogers
"The Government of the United States is in no sense founded on the Christian religion."
-John Adams
