    Nevertheless, wonder is not a disease. Wonder,
    and its expression in poetry and the arts, are among the most important
    things which seem to distinguish men from other animals, and
    intelligent and sensitive people from morons.

    - Alan Watts

    "If you are lonely when you're alone, then you are in bad company"

    "Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth"

    "One is still what one is going to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One lives one's death, one dies one's life"

    "One must act out passion before we can feel it"

    (Sartre)


    "A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession"

    "Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend"

    "Man is the only creature that refuses to be what it is"

    "Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it"

    "You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life"

    To Actually Contribute to the Post:

    The things you own end up owning you. It's only after you lose everything that you're free to do anything. ~Fight Club movie

    ...you're not how much money you've got in the bank. You're not your job. You're not your family, and you're not who you tell yourself.... You're not your name.... You're not your problems.... You're not your age.... You are not your hopes. ~Chuck Palahniuk

    We don't have a great war in our generation, or a great depression, but we do, we have a great war of the spirit. We have a great revolution against the culture. The great depression is our lives. We have a spiritual depression. ~Chuck Palahniuk

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present.

    "Silence is a source of great strength"

    "If you do not change direction, you may end-up where you are heading"

    "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be"

    (LAO TZU)


    ""When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"
    "What's for breakfast? said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"
    "I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.
    Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
    "It's the same thing," he said."

    (BENJAMIN HOFF - TAO OF POOH)
