About Me


I need the Darkness just as much as I need the Light.
My early childhood crushes go in this order:
1.Charlie Chaplin
2.Buster Keaton
3.Pee Wee Herman
4.Johnathan, a ten year old boy who I met at the circus, was a clown and a trapeze artist.
There is a beautiful difference between childlike and childish.
The sexiest thing, to me, is truth. In an age of disinformation, honesty is a revolutionary act.
My life hasn't been measured by the breaths that I've taken, but by the moments that have taken my breath away.
"Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of humankind.
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of people.
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I've found it worth living." - BERTRAND RUSSELL

"Neither a lofty degree of intelligence, nor a vast amount of imagination, nor both combined go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius." - Wolgang Amadeus Mozart

"Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh." - George Bernard Shaw

"A reasonable man adapts himself to the world; an unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." - George Bernard Shaw

"When I examined myself and my methods of thought, I came to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge." - Albert Einstein

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." - Gandi
