Quote Left Timidity is a fault for which it is dangerous to reprove persons whom we wish to correct of it. Quote Right
Quote Left Its the sense of touch. Any real city, you walk, you're bumped, brush past people. In LA, no one touches you. We're always behind metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much that we crash into each other just to feel something. Quote Right
Quote Left 'Who knocks?' 'I, who was beautiful, Beyond all dreams to restore,... Quote Right
Quote Left We only confess our little faults to persuade people that we have no big ones. Quote Right
Quote Left Who said, 'All Time's delight Hath she for narrow bed; Life's troubled bubble broken'?— That's what I said. Quote Right
Quote Left It started when I left Vegas that first time, skipping the hotel bill, driving off in that red convertible all alone, drunk and crazy, back to L.A. That's exactly what I felt. Fear and loathing. Quote Right
Quote Left Those who occupy their minds with small matters, generally become incapable of greatness. Quote Right
Quote Left Children are guilty of unpardonable rudeness when they spit in the face of a companion; neither are they excusable who spit from windows or on walls or furniture. Quote Right
Quote Left San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant. There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the Bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - the place where the wave finally broke and rolled back. Quote Right
Quote Left The happiness and misery of men depend no less on temper than fortune. Quote Right
Quote Left He kissed me. A kiss about apple pie a la mode with the vanilla creaminess melting in the pie heat. A kiss about chocolate, when you haven't eaten chocolate in a year. A kiss about palm trees speeding by, trailing pink clouds when you drive down the Strip sizzling with champagne. A kiss about spotlights fanning the sky and the swollen sea spilling like tears all over your legs. Quote Right
Quote Left Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness. Quote Right
Quote Left The accent of one's birthplace remains in the mind and in the heart as in one's speech. Quote Right
Quote Left We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves. Quote Right
Quote Left A work can become modern only if it is first postmodern. Postmodernism thus understood is not modernism at its end but in the nascent state, and this state is constant. Quote Right
Quote Left The sure mark of one born with noble qualities is being born without envy. Quote Right
Quote Left The art of using moderate abilities to advantage wins praise, and often acquires more reputation than actual brilliancy. Quote Right
Quote Left Discourtesy does not spring merely from one bad quality, but from several--from foolish vanity, from ignorance of what is due to others, from indolence, from stupidity, from distraction of thought, from contempt of others, from jealousy. Quote Right
Quote Left A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire. Quote Right
Quote Left Pride does not wish to owe and vanity does not wish to pay. Quote Right
Quote Left Men are more satirical from vanity than from malice. Quote Right
Quote Left Confidence contributes more to conversation than wit. Quote Right
Quote Left The reason why so few people are agreeable in conversation is that each is thinking more about what he intends to say than others are saying. Quote Right
Quote Left Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail to succeed. Quote Right
Quote Left We always love those who admire us, but we do not always love those whom we admire. Quote Right
Quote Left To know how to hide one's ability is great skill. Quote Right
Quote Left Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please. Quote Right
Quote Left In LA the blood dries at night. The streets never cool down. The sound of helicopters fills the ears and sends knee jerk shots of panic, paranoia and animal savagery through the veins of the shuffled extras too numbed by glamour overload to notice that there's not a single intersection in the entire city where you can stand and not be an animal waiting to see your own intestines slide down your leg from a stray bullet. In this city they kill for the fuck of it, fuck for the hell of it and live for no reason. If I could have a nickel for every siren I've heard go screaming into the distance to some scene, I'd still be here, still be looking out the window of my room, still laughing at the fact that I can't get my window open very far because the security bars get in the way. Quote Right
Quote Left The sure way to be cheated is to think one's self more cunning than others. Quote Right
Quote Left Jealousy contains more of self-love than of love. Quote Right

Quote Left "MAKE THE PLAY! RUB THE HURT LATER" Quote Right
Quote Left We really are, naturally isolated from one another, whether we like it or not. No one could get inside of our heads, without damaging the Divine Product. Only God knows our hearts. God is personal to each of us... No two anything, exactly alike. At least, not from my experienced life. Quote Right
Quote Left A public servant is only as good as the demands that are placed on them. Quote Right

Quote Left THE MAN WITH CLASS AND THE WOMAN WITH CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE DEADLY COMBINATION. Quote Right
Quote Left Whether it is 1725 or 2025 there are two distinct classes of business interest. Those that provide services for profit and those that plunder for profit. One sees a customer, the other a mark. One is sustainable, the other ends at the end of a rope. Quote Right

Quote Left You can't be a lightning rod and then complain when lightning strikes. Quote Right
Quote Left A hallmark of any organization whether it be family, a corporation or even a nation is that a preponderance of rules in general denotes a lack of principle in particular. Conversely and unfortunately those lacking in principle have little use for rules. Quote Right
Quote Left Excellence is no accolade to be obtained in and of itself but rather the hallmark and herald of those committed to its ideal. Quote Right
Quote Left I espouse no particular care for nature scenes with manmade structures, though I must admit some small indulgence in nostalgia at the thought that someone, with nature, shared this time and space and perhaps each became a part of the other Quote Right
Quote Left What must be acknowledged is that even the detritus of a failed system is fertile ground and the expectations that formed such flawed constructs will bloom frivolously within that context. Quote Right
Quote Left No institution can exist that purportedly upholds the rule of law by breaking it. No institution that has become the prime offender of citizens rights can claim to protect them. Experience has shown that governments are not immune to corruption and therefore are bound by necessity, when required, to reformation. Prudence dictates corruption abrogates the ability for self correction and so remedy must be accomplished through external means. Quote Right
Quote Left Our primary concern lacks the proper control. Those with primary control lack the proper concern. Quote Right
Quote Left Technology doesn't make us any stronger, faster, or smarter, it only affords us the opportunity to screw up in ever more spectacular and less obscure ways. Quote Right

Quote Left Free verse might be defined as a poem designed to encapsulate a person’s musings in a personal, stylised format—serendipity of thoughts meandering towards a decisive conclusion or left unresolved for the reader to mull over. Quote Right
Quote Left Mathematicians keep making the same mistake. Irrational numbers, negative numbers, imaginary numbers, undecidability: what is initially seen as an ugly contradiction is in fact an invitation to deepen our understanding of mathematics, and to see its beauty more fully. Undecidability is the discovery of truth oscillators. Quote Right
Quote Left Similar Notes in A Chantsong occuring often at The Ending, Are A Mark of Preceeding And Following Like The Book of Psalms, As Expressed By F. B. Meyer. The Alphabetical And Numerical Phenomena of Organizations. Quote Right
