Quote of the Day
"But I can say that life is good to me. Has been and is good. So I think my task is to be good to it. So how do you be good to life? You live it."
"Acting means living, it's all I do and all I'm good at. If I weren't getting paid well, I would still be acting in a small troupe."
"I don't get off on romantic parts. But I often think if I had had my dental work done early on, well, maybe."
- Morgan Freeman

Sinking Ship
The ship was sinking---and sinking fast. The captain told the passengers and crew, "We've got to get the lifeboats in the water right away."
But the crew said, "First we have to end capitalist oppression of the working class. Then we'll take care of the lifeboats."
Then the women said, "First we want equal pay for equal work. The lifeboats can wait."
The racial minorities said, "First we need to end racial discrimination. Then seating in the lifeboats will be allotted fairly."
The captain said, "These are all important issues, but they won't matter a damn if we don't survive. We've got to lower the lifeboats right away!"
But the religionists said, "First we need to bring prayer back into the classroom. This is more important than lifeboats."
Then the pro-life contingent said, "First we must outlaw abortion. Fetuses have just as much right to be in those lifeboats as anyone else."
The right-to-choose contingent said, "First acknowledge our right to abortion, then we'll help with the lifeboats."
The socialists said, "First we must redistribute the wealth. Once that's done everyone will work equally hard at lowering the lifeboats."
The animal-rights activists said, "First we must end the use of animals in medical experiments. We can't let this be subordinated to lowering the lifeboats."
Finally the ship sank, and because none of the lifeboats had been lowered, everyone drowned.
The last thought of more than one of them was, "I never dreamed that solving humanity's problems would take so long---or that the ship would sink so SUDDENLY."

Don't know who wrote it, though.

A certain administration which I won't call by name took the arts out of the schools, and that left the brothers out on the street with nothing, so they went to the turntables and started rhyming. Then they had a way to express themselves, and that's the birth of hip-hop.

"I have not collected art. Art collected me. I never found paintings. They found me. I have never even owned a work of art. They owned me."
"Ah yes, I remember well what it was like to be a true collector, that soft explosion in the heart, that thundering inner "Yes!" when you see something you must have or die. For over 30 years I made periodic visits to Renoir's "Luncheon of the Boating Party" in a Washington museum, and stood before that magnificent masterpiece hour after hour, day after day, plotting ways to steal it."
"Paintings never really belong to one of us. If we are fortunate, as I have been, we are allowed at most a lovely time of custody."
"Some people have youth, some have beauty - I have menace."
- Edward G. Robinson

"I like dropping into a small club and playing with some people, trying to help them get a start."

An english proffessor wrote the words, " A woman without her man is nothing," on the chalkboard and asked his students to punctuate it correctly.
All of the males in the class wrote: " A woman, without her man, is nothing ."
All the females in the class wrote:
" A woman: without her, man is nothing "
Found in By-Lines , Editor Dick Kury
PUNCTUATION IS POWERFUL!!!!!!

"Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the 20th century, and more than anywhere else, this disease is reflected in the press."
"I have spent all my life under a Communist regime, and I will tell you that a society without any objective legal scale is a terrible one indeed. But a society with no other scale but the legal one is not quite worthy of man either."
"It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones."
"Man has set for himself the goal of conquering the world but in the process loses his soul."
"Of course God is endlessly multi-dimensional so every religion that exists on earth represents some face, some side of God."
"Anyone who has proclaimed violence his method inexorably must choose lying as his principle."
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
