The process, not the final achievement, is what it's all about.
Dean Koontz
Image
We need to laugh at the irrationality of evil, for in doing so we deny evil's power over us, diminish its influence in the world, and tarnish the allure it has for some people.

When we hope, we usually hope for the wrong thing.

Intuition is seeing with the soul.

Loving the ideal more than the reality is the cause of all the misery the human species creates for itself.
