The good old days are now.

There are people in government who don't want other people to know what they know. It's just another example of elitism. And I spit on elitism. Show me an elitist, and I'll show you a loser.

Helicopters don't fly, they vibrate so badly the ground rejects them.

Fix your eyes forward on what you can do, not back on what you cannot change.

The control of information is something the elite always does, particularly in a despotic form of government. Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.

The tactics...no, amateurs discuss tactics,.... Professional soldiers study logistics.

What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It's not good at much else.

Man is a creature of hope and invention, both of which belie the idea that things cannot be changed.

What we want is not always what we need.

Peace! and no longer from its brazen portals The blast of War's great organ shakes the skies! But beautiful as songs of the immortals, The holy melodies of love arise.

Dare to believe SOMETHING AMAZING is going to happen in your life. When you believe, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

For me, moving is always a big opportunity. Its just a enough of a shift in outlook that every time I move, it seems to open something up.

Education is spreading hope. Millions are now learning to live with HIV/AIDS - instead of waiting to die from it.

The only men I love are dead.

When I hear the words jazz pianist, that just means I have the skills to do most things. Because to be a jazz pianist, even to be a bad jazz pianist, you have to be pretty good.
