“The uneducated brain is like a sponge that has been bound tightly with cords. It can absorb almost nothing! Everything we read cuts one of those binding cords and allows the brain to expand, absorb more, interrelate better and have a broader interpretation of the world. It's time to cut those binding cords and let our brains grow totheri full potential. Read!”
Richard H. Mcbee Jr., Rough Enough: Including Richard H. Clow's Letters and Diary from the Civil and Indian Wars 1865 - 1875

“The uneducated brain is like a sponge, bound tightly with cords. It can absorb almost nothing. Reading cuts the cords of ignorance and allows the brain to absorb more knowledge and attain its true potential. Time to cut those cords and communicate with the rest of the world. Read!”
Richard H. McBee Jr. , The Ghosts of Ukuthula

“If you are not for us, then you are against us! One day we will be living alongside you in those mansions. Your choice. Share or lose it all. We're going to take Africa away from its colonial masters. Step aside gracefully, we'll let you stay. Fight us and we'll drive you out.”

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
Marilyn Monroe

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
Albert Einstein

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
Bernard M. Baruch
