For me there is only the traveling on the paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge for me is to traverse its full length. And there I travel—looking, looking, breathlessly.
Carlos Castaneda, The Teachings of Don Juan
My rejoinder: any sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable in effect from malice.
Crafter-Man may I steal this? It’s too good not to pass along.
Colibri Ah, the lines of the world. I’m still looking for my spot.
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!
-Edna St. Vincent Millay
“You had your entire life to prepare for today.”
Some more:
“In life, you need vision, structure and drive.” This is good for your everyday life and my argument for the importance of government. I’m always hearing people talk about “government is the problem, not the solution.” and I feel compelled to ask them why they don’t move to somalia if they think that’s the case.
“Everyone is equal and deserves love. As your very nature as a human being, you have a right to it.” I like this because it’s positive, however I understand the world has some cruel people in it whose actions have very good arguments against them deserving of any love.
“I’m easy-going, kind, confident and good-looking.” This is an affirmation I use often.
“I’m the man.” Another affirmation.
Trust in yourself is the essence of confidence.
Just be thankful you have a glass. People in Africa have to use their hands.

Under Siege II the Choo Choo Train Sequel. I can’t believe I remember that.
I’m going to be a better person.
Starting tomorrow.
Be real, have fun.
That which is, is, and therefore has a right to be.
I had a prof in law school who would guarantee a passing grade to any student who could positively identify the quote. He had been making this offer for five years and had no results. He thought it was from Friedrich Nietzche but could not verify.
Never admit, deny or specify…
Don’t eff with an effer , unless you wanna get effed…
Be a man, use her hand…
When in doubt, rub one out…
Please, stop talking …before you get stabbed in the forehead with this fork!
“There are few situations in life that cannot be honourably settled either by suicide, a bag of gold, or by thrusting a despised antagonist over the edge of a precipice.”
And, never volunteer information…
Some people are like a slinky. Useless, but would be fun to push down a flight of stairs.
I fear the man of one book.
Never ask a question whose answer you don’t really want to know.
Beware the man who won’t be bothered with details.
If you tell the truth you don’t have to remember anything.
The man who does not read books has no advantage over the man that can’t read books.
Never cut what can be untied.
It’s better to be alone than to wish you were.
