Taking naps in the grass, listening to the wind in the trees, feeling the sun on my face, embodying the best of human nature there is, smiling, loving, giving, petting cats (and dogs too I guess and whatever else), hearing, seeing, and knowing everything I wasn't capable hearing, seeing, and knowing before.

QUOTESThomas Jefferson:"The man who would choose security over freedom deserves neither. ""Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude."Henry Miller:"Actually we are a vulgar, pushing mob whose passions are easily mobilized by demagogues, newspaper men, religious quacks, agitators and such like. To call this a society of free peoples is blasphemous. What have we to offer the world besides the superabundant loot which we recklessly plunder from the earth under the manaical delusion that this insane activity represents progress and enlightenment?"Robert Frost:"I am not a teacher but an awakener.""Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence."Albert Camus:"Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.""Charm is getting the answer yes without asking a clear question."George Bernarnd Shaw:"This is the true joy in life - being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.""All censorships exist to prevent any one from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorships.""The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.""Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.""When a man wants to murder a tiger, it's called sport; when the tiger wants to murder him it's called ferocity."Ralph Waldo Emerson:"Every man is a hero and an oracle to somebody, and to that person whatever he says has an enhanced value.""What you are thunders so loudly in my ears that I cannot hear what you say. What you do rings so loudly in my ears that I cannot hear what you say. "Ambrose Bierce:"PROBOSCIS, n. The rudimentary organ of an elephant which serves him in place of the knife-and-fork that Evolution has as yet denied him. For purposes of humor it is popularly called a trunk. "Henry David Thoreau:"Where there is a lull in truth an institution springs up.""How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live!""I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. "John Milton:"Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them."Mark Twain:"If Christ were here now, there is one thing he would not be - a Christian.""There is no distinctly American criminal class - except Congress. "Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:"Rest not! Life is sweeping by; go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.""Ambition and love are the wings to great deeds."Albert Einstiein:"In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.""A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. ""Once you can accept the universe as being something expanding into an infinite nothing which is something, wearing stripes with plaid is easy."Steven Wright:"I was in the grocery store. I saw a sign that said "pet supplies." So I did. Then I went outside and saw a sign that said "compact cars."Winston Churchill:"The Americans will always do the right thing . . . after they've exhausted all the alternatives."Samuel Johnson:"When any calamity has been suffered, the first thing to be remembered is how much has been escaped."Gandhi:"Be the change you want to see in the world."Francis Bacon:"The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery."Friedrich Nietzsche:"One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star."Voltaire:"Animals have these advantages over man: They never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills."
I'd like to meet:
People from the future who speak of hope and light.
You Are 55% Normal
While some of your behavior is quite normal...
Other things you do are downright strange
You've got a little of your freak going on
But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself
How Normal Are You?
