Quote for the Day!

“The Essence of Survival...
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster
than the fastest lion or it will be killed...
Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle...
When the sun comes up, you'd better be running”

“Roads go ever ever on
Over rock and under tree
By caves where never sun has shone
By streams that never find the sea

Over snow by winter sown
And through the merry flowers of June
Over grass and over stone
And under mountains in the moon

(Radagast knows who said it)”

I'm just afraid that it will hurt like hell

“i should just let this go, but i hate to see this myth get perpetuated. chief seattle (actually chief sealth) didn't really say those words. chief sealth's speech was actually written by a screenwriter, Ted Perry, for the 1972 movie "Home". perry heard an author read a version of the chiefs' actual speech and used the text as the basis for a new, fictitious speech for a film on pollution and ecology.

the film's producers revised perry's script without his knowledge, removed his name from the film credits, sent off tens of thousands of posters with the "speech" on it to viewers who requested it, and so began the confusion that exists today. i hear that perry is more than a little miffed about the whole deal.

we work upon brass, time will efface it; if

will efface, but will brighten and brighten to
all eternity."

You can leave the corpse for all to see and nobody calls the cops."

--Paul Brooks, The Pursuit of Wilderness”
