- If you have something to say, then say it. If not, enjoy the silence while it lasts. The noise will return soon enough. In the meantime, you%uFFFDre better off going out into the big, wide world, having some adventures and refilling your well. Trying to create when you don%uFFFDt feel like it is like making conversation for the sake of making conversation.
- Hugh Macleod, How To Be Creative: 24, 08-22-04

- Fasting and natural diet, though essentially unknown [in today's U.S.] as a therapy, should be the first treatment when someone discovers that she or he has a medical problem. It should not be applied only to the most advanced cases, as is present practice. Whether the patient has a cardiac condition, hypertension, autoimmune disease, fibroids, or asthma, he or she must be informed that fasting and natural, plant-based diets are a viable alternative to conventional therapy, and an effective one. The time may come when not offering this substantially more effective nutritional approach will be considered malpractice.
- Joel Fuhrman, M.D., Fasting And Eating For Health
- One swallow does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy.

- Do not believe that he who seeks to comfort you lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life has much difficulty... Were it otherwise he would never have been able to find those words.
- Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
- Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters.
- Margaret Peters
- It's the same each time with progress. First they ignore you, then they say you're mad, then dangerous, then there's a pause and then you can't find anyone who disagrees with you.
- Tony Benn
- There are some men who lift the age they inhabit, till all men walk on higher ground in that lifetime.
- Maxwell Anderson (1888 - 1959)
- We are told that talent creates its own opportunities. But it sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents.
- Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
