A human being should be able to change a diaper,
plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship,
design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts,
build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders,
give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations,
analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer,
cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
...Specialization is for insects.
-Lazarus Long
"If somebody loves you - you're the luckiest man in the world.
If somebody needs you - well, what else could you want?
'Cos "lovers" come and go, and I think you know just what I mean.
But real love ... you know the difference right away."
Mike Smith - Dave Clark 5

"More than at any other time in history, we all face two roads. One leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total annihilation. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly."
"The world is divided into two types of people, the miserable and the pathetic. The miserable are like most of us, handling lifes ups and downs, struggling to make a living, dealing with our shortfalls, phobias, low self-esteem, and shattered life dreams. The pathetic are people with terminal illnesses, debilitating diseases, addictions, homelessness, starvation, and mental challenges.
When you think about it this way, you should thank God every day that you're just miserable."
Both quotes from Woody Allen

From the movie: The Cutting Edge
Doug: Look, from the first day I walked into your rink, you've been treating me like a hired hand! Then one night, you get drunk, and I'm supposed to roll over and thank my lucky stars? Sorry, I don't downshift that fast!
Kate: It's in
Doug: It's out
Kate: It's in
Doug: It's out!
Kate: It's in!
Doug: What difference does it make?
Kate: The difference is... I'm in the mood to kick a little ass.

The Bene Gesserit Litany against Fear:
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
