- People are fond of spouting out the old clich%uFFFD about how Van Gogh never sold a painting in his lifetime. Somehow his example serves to justify to us, decades later, that there is somehow merit in utter failure.
Perhaps, but the man did commit suicide. - Hugh Macleod, How To Be Creative: 29, 08-22-04
- If you have the creative urge, it isn't going to go away. But sometimes it takes a while before you accept the fact.

- 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

- 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)
- It's a sad day when you find out that it's not accident or time or fortune, but just yourself that kept things from you.
- Lillian Hellman (1905 - 1984)
