About Me

"You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. NOW." - Joan Baez"Life was never meant to be a struggle; just a gentle progression from one point to another, much like walking through a valley on a sunny day" - Stuart Wilde"True eloquence consists of saying all that should be said, and that only" - La Rochefoucauld"Assimilate every mistake without dwelling on it. By all means, you should do whatever you can to get off your own back" - Richard M. Swinn"The function of the intellect consists in leading the mind to a higher field of consciousness by proposing all sorts of questions which are beyond itself. The mystery is solved by living it, by seeing into its working, by actually experiencing the significance of life" - D.T. Suzuki"Life is what happens when you are making other plans" - John Lennon"What you do dislike in another take care to correct in yourself" - Thomas Sprat
