"We live for books."

-- Umberto Eco

“...this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal...”
“The colors I use may clash or vibrate against one another but this is done intentionally.”
“The simplest single-celled organism oscillates to a number of different frequencies, at the atomic, molecular, sub-cellular, and cellular levels. Microscopic movies of these organisms are striking for the ceaseless, rhythmic pulsation that is revealed. In an organism as complex as a human being, the frequencies of oscillation and the interactions between those frequencies are multitudinous.”
“There's a great Albert Camus quote: 'The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.' When I first re-emerged, I was embarrassed to walk down the street. People would come up and say, 'I heard you were dead!' But I had to remind myself that a lot of the stuff I went through was pretty brutal. I'm definitely thankful that some of the rough patches are behind me.”
“Life Insurance Motto - Robbing the widows early and orphan.”
“But whether a couple is a man and a woman has everything to do with the meaning of marriage.”
“As long as I can run fast, track will always be an option. But right now I'm focused on football because the NFL is knocking on my door and I'm not going to slam it in its face.”
“Learn on how little man may live, and how small a portion nature requires.”
