I get by with a little help from my friends.

My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role,

Not as a preacher, not as a leader,
but as a reflection of us all.
- John Lennon

If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche
that must have been left behind in the Sixties,

Who's to say that dreams and nightmares
aren't as real as the here and now?
- John Lennon

The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities
and the responsibility that we all had.
It wasn't the answer.
It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.

He didn't come out of my belly, but my God,
I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal,

because I took him to the ocean.
I'm so proud of all those things.
But he is my biggest pride.

We're more popular than Jesus now;
I don't know which will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity.

panicky dangerous animals and you know it.

the Earth was the center of the universe.
Five hundred years ago,

you knew that humans were alone on this planet.
Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.

The best way to appreciate your job
is to imagine yourself without one.
- Oscar Wilde

If you have an emotional reaction in the presence of someone,
your heart is telling you that you have
not resolved your issues with them.
In other words, you have not truly forgiven that person.
All of this begs the question, how do we forgive?
First, cease lying to yourself and stop telling yourself stories
about why you behave the way you do.
Stop blaming your behavior on other people
and take responsibility for your emotional reactions.
If you could forgive all the people in your life
who have hurt or wounded you
it would be possible to be in control of your behavior
instead of being in reaction to other people all of the time.
Imagine living life without experiencing
a constant emotional roller-coaster of pain, anger, and jealousy!
That would be bliss!
-Sheri Rosenthal

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes
the objects of his creation
and is but a reflection of human frailty.

Well, it seems to me that the best relationships -
the ones that last -
are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship.
You know, one day you look at the person
and you see something more than you did the night before.
Like a switch has been flicked somewhere.
And the person who was just a friend is...
suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.
- Dana Scully

In art, the hand can never execute anything
higher than the heart can imagine.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Curiosity is lying in wait for every secret.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Curiosity keeps one young - in thought and in action.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
