Re: Quote of the Day!
A man is never astonished that he doesn't know what another does,
but he is surprised at the gross ignorance of the other in not knowing what he does ~ Unknown

Re: Quote of the Day!
“Not one of your pertinent ancestors was squashed, devoured, drowned, starved, stranded, stuck fast, untimely wounded, or otherwise deflected from its life's quest of delivering a tiny charge of genetic material to the right partner at the right moment in order to perpetuate the only possible sequence of hereditary combinations that could result -- eventually, astoundingly, and all too briefly -- in you.” Bill Bryson

Re: Quote of the Day!
“And what haunts me, is that in all the faces of all the bears that Treadwell ever filmed, I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature. To me, there is no such thing as a secret world of the bears. And this blank stare speaks only of a half-bored interest in food. But for Timothy Treadwell, this bear was a friend, a savior.”
Werner HerzogDon’t take life too seriously, no one gets out alive.

Re: Quote of the Day!
"Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow Sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-three million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea." (Douglas Adams, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy)

Re: Quote of the Day!
The paradox of power.
Those that desire power should never have it. And those that deserve power dont want it.
