“"not all those who wander are lost" I remember that now, I saw it on a bumper sticker and tried to remember it, but couldn't.

Big Foot, hey, you are meant to survive or you wouldn't be here now, and you know it deep down inside.”

“Thanks LH, but where did that come from......lol”

“"Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them." Albert Einstein”

“"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

--Albert Einstein (1879-1955)”

“C = EM²

Billy Einstein (Albert's lesser known brother)”

Mr. Hair Thin Tippet has been listening to Joe?s Garage today. What a terrific record!

The last two years, the Florida Orchestra has had an evening of the Orchestral works of Zappa. Sold out both years. They?re not having it this year. I think there were contractual difficulties with GZ.”

“Not today, Its been going around in my head for twenty years +/-. I can't make it stop.

Somebody help me, please! Somebody!”

“Big Foot, I was referring to your post on page 25 where you wrote a saying about failure, and you said you fit it.

I don't think you are a failure, and you were meant to live because of how you survived your crash. Does that make sense? Probably not, lol, but that's what I meant. I know you didn't say anything about surviving, but I put the two things together, sorry. I meant it as a good thing :{}”

“"Any place is walking distance if you have the time."

“To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk rejection.
To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or love.
Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave.
He has forfeited his freedom.
Only a person who takes risks is free.”

“"If you ain't got nothing, you
got nothing to lose."

B. Dylan”

“I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

L. Cohen
(just a snippet!)”

“"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the relevation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

--H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937)”

“"Life sucks...and then you die!"

--Who Knows?”

“Manifest plainness

“"The Truth will set you free . . . but first it will piss you off."

-- cartoonist Libby Reid”

“"You know something, there's nothing wrong with a culture where everybody has a different idea of what's humorous. The last time I can remember an entire nation being on the same page, it was Germany in the late thirties and it really didn't turn out that funny. Remember: In its time and place, what Hitler said was considered politically correct; and it's that blind adherence to what is situationally palatable that is truly dangerous. We should question it all. Poke fun at it all. Piss off on it all. Rail against it all.

And most important, for chrissakes, laugh at it all. Because the only thing separating holy writ from complete bullsh!t is your perspective. It's your only weapon. Keep the safety off, don't take yourself too seriously, and remember that at the end of the day, this is just an ant farm with beepers, and it takes zero politically correct a$$holes to screw in a light bulb, because they are perpetually in the fooking dark.

Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong."

Say buddy, can you spare a dime?”

“From today's speech in Independence, Mo....

"We need to get rid of the ABM Treaty so we can research and development."
That's for sure!

We're making good progress about bringing morale back to the military."
You mean it was GONE? So are you bringing back low morale or high morale?

"We've got to be an active nation to promote the peace, and we will."
Is that like a radioactive nation?

"Those days of demagoguing the issue should be gone out of the--out of the political--out of politics."
Just read the damn speech! It's right there on the teleprompter!

"Now one of the interesting battles--I hope it's not a battle--let me say, one of the interesting opportunities to show America that we can work together, to be the positive guy, is the budget. We'll be talking about the budget. This is when we actually spend the money. See, the first discussion we had was we set the budget, the parameters about the limits of spending."
Somebody explain this stuff to the poor man!

"I trust the people with their own money, I'd rather you spend your own money than the federal government spend your money. I think you can do it more wisely than we can in Washington, D.C."
Yeah, me and my neighbors are gonna pool our rebates and build us an Interstate Highway!

"Harry Truman brought a lot of wisdom to Washington in what he said. He said some things, I think he called it--he was a plain spoken fellow. Nothing wrong with that."
You got dat right!”

“"Life is brought down to the basics: if you are warm, regular, healthy, not thirsty or hungry, then you are not on a mountain....climbing at altitude is like hitting your head against a brick wall - it's great when you stop."

--Chris Darwin, The Social Climbers”

“"I'm not gonna fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt."

“Who knows what has more weight, oil pipelines or democratic values?

“"It cost about 75 cents to kill a man in Ceasar's time. The price rose to about $3,000 per man during the Napoleonic wars; to $5,000 in the American Civil War; and then to $21,000 per man in World War I. Estimates for the future wars indicate that it may cost the warring countries not less than $50,000 for each man killed."
--Sen. Homer T. Bone, D-WA, 1932

Gee, Wally, war is not only hell, it's EXPENSIVE!”
