"Life's a bowl of punch, go ahead and spike it!"

-- Nick Hexum

“Nothing is more useful to man that those arts which have no utility.”
“While thoughts exist, words are alive and literature becomes an escape, not from, but into living.”
“A goal or decision without a deadline has no urgency. It has no real beginning or end.”
“NBC has suspended Brian Williams for six months without pay. Williams said he's not worried because soon his veterans benefits will kick in.”
“Suppose you read about a pill that you could take once a day to reduce anxiety and increase your contentment. Would you take it? Suppose further that the pill has a great variety of side effects, all of them good: increased self-esteem, empathy, and trust; it even improves memory. Suppose, finally, that the pill is all natural and costs nothing. Now would you take it? The pill exists. It is meditation.”

“I was very academically inclined. But my inner life was in such turmoil. I'd go home and my home life was so miserable that it just felt like I was doing everything that I was supposed to do. I did all my chores, made really good grades, and I was excelling at school, but I wasn't happy.”

“I shall no doubt be blamed by certain scientists, and, I am afraid, by some philosophers, for having taken serious account of the alleged facts which are investigated by Psychical Researchers. I am wholly impenitent about this. The scientists in question seem to me to confuse the Author of Nature with the Editor of Nature; or at any rate to suppose that there can be no productions of the former which would not be accepted for publication by the latter. And I see no reason to believe this.”
