"A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city." - Proverbs 18:19
"For dogs have surrounded me; a crowd of wicked men have encircled me; they have pierced my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones. They look, they stare at me; they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing do they cast lots."
- Psalm 22:16-18
"Part of the price of freedom, then, is the willingness to play, to let go of our adult dignity, to look foolish, to laugh at nothing."
- Starhawk, in _The Spiral Dance_
"Please stay alive
I think about you coming down from that last tour
Wondering how you're making it
I never want to read about you overdosing in your room
I don't want to have to defend you to people that will talk shit
I would do it though
Always
So take good care of yourself
If you forget how
Call me
I'll remind you."
- Henry Rollins, from _See a Grown Man Cry_
"When men lack a sense of awe, there will be disaster."
- Lao Tsu, from the _Tao te Ching_
"Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live."
- Dorothy Parker, "Resume"
"As cold waters to a weary soul, so is good news from a far country."
- Proverbs 26:25
