"The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows." -- Frank Zappa

I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.

Clarence Darrow








(Interesting tidbit....Darrow defended the men who killed my great-grandfather.....and they got off. :rolleyes: Damn that man was good.)

"I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till i drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion."

"How come how come he can he can tell-a tell-a you're-a you're-a
Always always number number one without a doubt
When-a when-a he is he is always always squirmin' squirmin'
Like a little snake under-a e-ver-y-a rock
You've been you've been workin' workin' on the on the love
And he's been only only playing undercover all the while
Take a take another 'nother look into his eyes
And you will on-ly see a rep-tile"

~ Paula Abdul

"The State of war is a state of enmity and destrucion; and therefore declaring by word or action, not a passionate and hasty, but a sedate, settled design upon another man's life, puts him in a state of war with him against whom he has declared such an intention, and so has exposed his life to the other's power to be taken away by him, or anyone that joins with him in his defense and espouses his quarrel; it being reasonable and just I should have a right to destroy that which threatens me with destruction."


---John Locke

"Benefit cuts is an interesting word." -- George W Bush (2/15/05)

I'm in a Jim Morrison kind of mood today. It's impossible for me to pick out just one. Sorry!

Jim Morrison --

Nice quote from the Self Realisation Fellowship in Hollywood,

Paramahansa Yogananda

Okay, these are all too wonderful to pick and choose, so I'm just going to bombard you (get it, bombard...oh, it helps if you know who these quotes are from) with some Einstein gems.

"It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure."

"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."

"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen."

"If A equals success, then the formula is _ A = _ X + _ Y + _ Z. _ X is work. _ Y is play. _ Z is keep your mouth shut."

"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."

"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."

"What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world."
