"Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine" Robert C Gallagher

All from Warren Miller films:
"You are unique, just like everyone else"
"If you don't do it this year, you'll be one year older when you do."
"On the other hand, you have different fingers."
"Don't take life too seriously because you can't come out of it alive."
"They say it's always darkest just before the dawn, so if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it!"
"If your parents didn't have children, chances are you won't either."

'Looking back, I saw that for my whole conscious life I had not understood either myself or my strivings. What had seemed for so long to be beneficial now turned out in actuality to be fatal, and I had been striving to go in the opposite direction to that which was truly necessary to me. But just as the waves of the sea knock the inexperienced swimmer off his feet and keep tossing him back onto the shore, so also was I painfully tossed back on dry land by the blows of misfortune. And it was only because of this that I was able to travel the path which I had always really wanted to travel.'

Exerpt from The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

'As a young person, and I know it’s hard to believe that I was shy, but you could take your camera, and it would take you to places: it was like having a friend, like having someone to go out with and look at the world. I would do things with a camera I wouldn’t do normally if I was just by myself.'

Annie Leibovitz

"Lido be runnin', havin' great big fun until he got the note
Saying, "Toe the line or blow it, " and that was all she wrote
He be makin' like a beeline headin' for the borderline, goin' for broke
Sayin', "One more hit oughta do it
This joint, ain't nothin' to it
One more for the road"
Lido
He's for the money, he's for the show
Lidos a-waiting for the go"

- 'Lido Shuffle', song by Boz Scaggs

Compromise is not a four letter word.
It's a ten letter word.
Ten...That ought to be an easy enough number to remember.
It's the number of fingers in a handshake.

Praying is ok but often, results are made more effective when backed up by an independent desire to create change by one's own hand.

So what I truly believe is that along with more money and police and prisons, what we most need more of is love. This is not being simplistic; it’s at the very heart of the issue.
