Quote Left Any serious attempt to try to do something worthwhile is ritualistic. Quote Right
Quote Left The shootout is a very horrible way to decide the game - immense pressure and stress measures the mettle of the players and coaches and fans. We, however, have tested very solid in just about any category you wish to use. Derek made a tremendous save. Quote Right
Quote Left The shipment of our 400 000th development tool is proof of Microchip's leadership in this market.

Quote Left So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned. My conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. Says someone else has already said it best so if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic cords of memory will swell when again touched, as they surely will be, by the better angels of our nature.' Quote Right
Quote Left One of the joys our technological civilization has lost is the excitement with which seasonal flowers and fruits were welcomed; the first daffodil, strawberry or cherry are now things of the past, along with their precious moment of arrival. Even the tangerine -- now a satsuma or clementine -- appears de-pipped months before Christmas. Quote Right

Quote Left Don't live life pissed off all the time. Quote Right
Quote Left The preserve of ambition and folly in pursuit of illusion, or delusion. Quote Right
Quote Left Derek: Oh, I thought you came over to tell me what a bad ugooglizer I was. Matilda: A what? Derek: A ugooglizer - one who speaks at funerals. Or did you think I'd be too stupid to know what a ugoogly is? Quote Right
Quote Left Be slow to fall into friendship, but when thou art in, continue firm and constant. Quote Right

Quote Left Even if it is difficult playing with other people - sometimes it's great, sometimes it isn't, but that is kind of the point of it. It loses its point playing solo. Quote Right
Quote Left If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. Quote Right
Quote Left How to be green? Many people have asked us this important question. It's really very simple and requires no expert knowledge or complex skills. Here's the answer. Consume less. Share more. Enjoy life. Quote Right
