I have lived nearly fifty years, and I have seen life as it is. Pain, misery, hunger... cruelty beyond belief. I have heard the singing from taverns and the moans from bundles of filth on the streets. I have been a soldier and seen my comrades fall in battle... or die more slowly under the lash in Africa. I have held them in my arms at the final moment. These were men who saw life as it is, yet they died despairing. No glory, no gallant last words... only their eyes filled with confusion, whimpering the question: "Why?" I do not think they asked why they were dying, but why they had lived. When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams - this may be madness. To seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.
-- Don Quioxite |

|
As a parent, I [also] realize what my role is in protecting my child from influences that might have a disturbing effect... I cannot sit back and hope that the government or some public interest groups will protect her; that responsibility is up to my wife and myself alone. As soon as we as a society abdicate our personal responsibility towards protecting and caring for our children we give up our basic freedoms as Americans; freedoms that have been hard fought and even harder won.As parents, we must look into our own backyards and see what our children are doing and become more personally involved with their activities, ideas and friends.
-- Drew Markham, creator of Kingpin: Life of Crime |
|
Blame is for God and small children.
-- Dustin Hoffman |

Progress is a comfortable disease.

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
-- E. E. Cummings |
|
Martyrs have been sincere. And so have tyrants. Wise men have been sincere. And so have fools.
-- E. Haldeman-Julius |
