- Pain (any pain--emotional, physical, mental) has a message. The information it has about our life can be remarkably specific, but it usually falls into one of two categories: "We would be more alive if we did more of this," and, "Life would be more lovely if we did less of that." Once we get the pain's message, and follow its advice, the pain goes away.

But if we choose to actively seek out information that challenges our assumptions and beliefs, perhaps we can begin to understand where the people who disagree with us are coming from.
- Barack Obama (1961 - ), University of Michigan Commencement, 2010
- Life happens too fast for you ever to think about it. If you could just persuade people of this, but they insist on amassing information.
- Kurt Vonnegut (1922 - 2007)
- The four stages of man are infancy, childhood, adolescence and obsolescence.
