If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

Worshipers never leave church...we carry our sanctuary with us wherever we go.

Destroying rainforest for economic gain is like burning a Renaissance painting to cook a meal.

A great composition to me is.. an incarnation of a genius, of all that was ever in him of the slightest consequence.

Everybody's business is nobody's business.
