"To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else."
- Emily Dickinson

" Everything has an existence separate from ourselves...The trick is to recognize the worth of a thing for it's own sake instead of recognizing its worth to you." -Charles DeLint, "Someplace to Be Flying"

"Some are born weird, others achieve it, and some have weirdness thrust upon them." -Alexander Kinlock, To The Hilt by Dick Francis
