"Peace is not something you wish for, it's something you make"

-- Robert Fulghum

“The nourishment of Cezanne's awkward apples is in the tenderness and alertness they awaken inside us.”
“The least responsive audience I can ever remember playing to.”
“Leaders have followers, managers have employees. Managers make widgets, leaders make change.”
“You can't use an old map to explore a new world.”
“Just don't let the human factor fail to be a factor at all”
“All you have to do, is to see whether the law takes from some what belongs to them in order to give it to others to whom it does not belong. We must see whether the law performs, for the profit of one citizen and to the detriment of others, an act which that citizen could not perform himself without being guilty of a crime. Repeal such a law without delay. ... [I]f you don't take care, what begins by being an exception tends to become general, to multiply itself, and to develop into a veritable system.”
“Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart; confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.”
“As you get older, you get stuck in your ways; just as you become stiffer physically, you also become stiffer mentally and more narrow-minded unless you make a conscious effort to keep yourself flexible.”
