“Carpe Scrotum. Seize life by the testicles”
― Rowena Cherry, Knight's Fork

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
― Dr. Seuss

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
― Steve Jobs

“There is no such thing as morality in these distressing times. What we are witnessing is the death of courtesy in Western civilization. I don't speak of the mincing, effete courtesy of these desperate times, but the virile, robust courtesy born in the most violent of times, the Middle Ages. I lament the passing of that form of chivalry which was the way that civilized men had agreed to treat each other during times of peace. It was a code and a hallmark of civilization, and men would rather have died by their own hand than break the code.”
― Pat Conroy, The Lords of Discipline

“Always focus on the front windshield and not the review mirror.”

“How does he die here in the cold with so little ceremony? How does he die without me to look at him as he goes? How did we not deserve last words, last moments, last looks? It's unbearable.”
― Charlotte McConaghy, Migrations

“It's kind of funny...the moments on which life hinges. I think growing up you always imagine your life--your success--depends on your family and how much money they have, where you go to college, what sort of job you can pin down, starting salary...But it doesn't, you know. You wouldn't believe this, but life hinges on a couple of seconds you never see coming. And what you decide in those few seconds determines everything from then on... And you have no idea what you'll do until you're there...”
― Marisha Pessl, Special Topics in Calamity Physics

“Sometimes grief is love unexpressed. Other times it's regret made flesh.”
― S A Cosby
