William Shakespeare . 1564-1616 Life is a joke that's just begun. To live will be the greatest adventure of all. I think that, as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived. Life is a swirling eddy of despair in an ever blackening universe.
Civilization is a little citadel of light in a malignant sea of darkness.
W.H. Auden . A small town is a place where there's no place to go where you shouldn't. You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred. Woody Allen . The point of living, and of being an optimist, is to be foolish enough to believe that the best is yet to come.
