"Our lives are the creations of memory
and the accompanying
power to extend
ourselves outward into ideas and relive
them."
~ Inscribed on Philadelphia's University

and Anthropology
“If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair.
We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because
we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off
cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down."
~ Ray Bradbury
“I do not believe all men are destroyed. I can name you a dozen
who were not, and they are the ones the world lives by. It is true
of the spirit as it is true of battles - only the winners are
remembered. Surely most men are destroyed, but there are others
who like pillars of fire guide frightened men through the darkness.”
~ 'Samuel', "East of Eden" - John Stienbeck
"Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely
to find it, because those who are searching forget that the
surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others."
~ Martin Luther King Jr.
"You can have anything you want -- if you want
it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be,
do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold
to that desire with singleness of purpose."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"Comrades are closer than friends, closer than brothers.
Their relationship is different from that of lovers.
Their trust in, and knowledge of, each other is total."
~ Stephen E. Ambrose, "Band of Brothers"
"There are only four questions of importance in life:
What is sacred, of what is the spirit made,
what is worth living for, and what is worth dying for.
The answer to all of them is the same.
Only love."
~ Juan de Marco
"Those who are not looking for happiness are
the most likely to find it, because those who
are searching forget that the surest way to be
happy is to seek happiness for others."
~ Martin Luther King Jr.
"Oh my brother, won't you stand beside me
We will carry each other
And if your soul grows weary
Or the strength leaves your bones
Oh my brother, I will carry you home"
~ 'Eddie From Ohio'
You wake up in the morning, and your purse is magically
filled with twenty-four hours of unmanufactured tissue
of the universe of your life! It is yours. It is the most
precious of possessions. No one can take it from you.
And no one receives either more or less than you receive.
~ Dr. Thomas Arnold Bennett
"I shall ascend into the space of light,
I shall cross the face of the Earth,
I shall walk in the light
And I shall wait upon the stars."
~ Texts of the Sarcophagi, Ch. 545
"That which is dreamed can never be lost,
can never be undreamed...
Everything changes.
And nothing is truly lost."
~ "Exiles, The Sandman" Neil Gaiman
