"Well There's a Mugger in the Alley, There's a Sniper in the Hall
There's a Girl At the Bar Wants to Get Me By the Balls
The Hangman Is Hanging If I Autograph the Noose
And Lee Harvey Oswald's Brother's On the Loose
There's a Mafia Hitman With a Bullet For My Back
Someday He's Gonna Get Me, But I'm Not Dead Yet
.......I'm a Wild Card Waiting in the Middle of the Deck
You'd Better Get a Bigger Gun, I'm Not Dead Yet"

"Those who dream by night, in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in
the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are
dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it
possible." -- T. E. Lawrence
"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so
vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means
that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these
defenses, you build this whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt
you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person,
wanders into your stupid life... You give them a piece of you. They
didn't ask for it. They do something dumb one day, like kiss you or
smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes
hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in
the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should just be friends'
or 'how very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way
into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the
mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real
gets-inside-you-and-rips-out-you-apart pain. I hate love." -- Neil
Gaiman
What consumes your mind, controls your life. -- Creed
"I owe much; I have nothing; the rest I leave to the poor."
Francois Rebelais
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at
least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we
didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us
all be thankful.
--Buddha
When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.- Abraham Lincoln
If we don't change direction soon, we'll end up where we're going.- Professor Irwin Corey
Enjoy your own life without comparing it with that of another.- Marquis de Condorcet
I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.- Joseph Baretti
Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch of bastards.- R. A. Dickson
I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would
take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet
place and kill him.- Mark Twain
The secret of all success is to know how to deny yourself. Prove that
you can control yourself, and you are an educated man; and without this
all other education is good for nothing. - R. D. Hitchcock
Give a man a fire and keep him warm for a day. Light a man on fire and
he will be warm for rest of his life.-
Terry Pratchett
Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
-Thomas a Kempis
Many people die with their music still in
them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting
ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out.-Oliver Wendell Holmes
If I
had my life to live over, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time. I'd
relax; I'd limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I
would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would
climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream
and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have
fewer imaginary ones.
You see, I'm one of those people who lived sensibly and sanely
hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I had my moments, and if I had to
do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have
nothing else. Just moments, one after the other, instead of living so
many years ahead of each day. I've been one of those persons who never
goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat,
and a parachute. If I had it to do over again, I would travel lighter
than I have.
If I had my life to live over again, I would start barefoot
earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go
to more dance; I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more
daisies.--
Nadine Stair
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you
come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is
people who have come alive."
Howard Thurman
Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me.
I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog
dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a
new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million dollars in medical
bills but you work hard for thirty five years and you pay it back and
then one day you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is
paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left
side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain
the power to walk and the power to talk and then one day you step off a
curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and
then you die. Maybe. ~Denis Leary
