Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching.
Satchel Paige
If you come to a fork in the road, take it.
You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six.
You can observe a lot by just watching.
and who can ever forget:
It's like deja-vu, all over again.
Yogi Berra

"You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that." - E.B. White

... John Updike
"I know a place and it goes no further
Than where you are, when you leave it behind
One piece of advice from one son to another
Get it out of your mind, get it out of your mind"
