*Out of intense complexities, intense simplicities emerge. ---Winston Churchill

*We find all the answers while listening to the static of the radio and the gentle hum of a car.

*I wanted a perfect ending...Now I've learned the hard way that some poems don't rhyme and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, or end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.

*Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

*After a while you learn that even the sunshine burns if you get too much. So, you decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn and learn...with every goodbye you learn. ---Someone in my Junior yearbook

*What you've done becomes the judge of what you're going to do, especially in other people's minds. When you're traveling, you are what you are right then and there. People don't have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road. (my personal fav) ---William Moon "Blue Highways"

*Be not astonished at new ideas. It is well known to you that a thing does not therefore cease to be true because it is not accepted by many. ---Spinoza
