"No one can manipulate anyone else. In any relationship, both parties know what they’re doing, even if one of them complains later on that they were used."
Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello
"If you’ve got a hunchback, sprinkle some glitter on it, honey, and make a feature out of it."
James St. James
"The last three decades of this century have witnessed the ignition of the most significant internal conflict ever to engage the human species. It is not the struggle between capitalism and communism or between any other set of ‘isms’. It is the conflict between those who possess the means and will to exploit the living world to destruction, and those who are banding together in a desperate and last-ditch attempt to prevent the New Juggernaut from trashing our small planet."
Farley Mowat
"Happiness is a hound dog in the sun. We are not here to be happy but to experience great and wonderful things."
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"The smell of good bread baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight."
M. F. K. Fisher

Hungarian proverb
"Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives."
William Dement
