Take a course in good water and air; and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone; no harm will befall you.

The power of imagination makes us infinite.

At the end of the day, the goals are simple: safety and security.

If you sacrifice liberty for security, you will lose both.

I'm tired of pretending that everything's fine just so I can please everyone else.
