I decided to think of every quote worthy to share. Here:
************
I don't know where, but she sends me there.
-Brian Wilson [crazy mad genius]
Something not understood is not the same as something wrong.
There are no problems, only solutions.
-John Lennon [rest his soul]
A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.
-Thomas Jefferson [a staunch believer in all things "his way"]
They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those of us who only dream by night.
-Edgar Allen Poe [quite a bizarre life of day/night dreams - and in NY no less]
If you decide to run with the ball, count on fumbling and getting the shit knocked out you, but never forget how much fun it is to run with the ball.
-Jimmy Buffett [can't listen to him but sure can consider him]
It is better to burn out than to fade away.
-Neil Young [who has an asteroid named after him; go figure]
It is easier to repent than obtain permission.
-Col. Stan Bailey, USAF [he speaketh my credo, incidentally]
Regulation and doctrine provide convenient hiding places for the timid and unimaginative.
A man who is good for anything ought not to calculate the chance of living or dying; he ought only to consider whether he is doing right or wrong.
-John Steinbeck [JS knows how to de-complicate anything]
Human action is the result of human choice, life is choice and choice is willful.
Time is a scarce resource. If you want to know what a man truly loves, observe how he spends his time.
A wise prince seeks advice continually, but when it suits him and not when it suits somebody else.
-Machiavelli [our favorite Master of the Universe]
Instruction manuals are evidence of design flaws.
Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
-Robert A. Heinlein [sci-fi, my ass]
Help ... send lawyers, guns and money.
