"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." -Steve Prefontaine "When you find yourself at the bottom of a hole, quit digging."--Brian Pittelko "If size mattered, cows be eatn' rabbits."--Some random southerner in Arkansas Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason.--Durandal "We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person."--W. Somerset Maugham It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched for they are full of the truthless ideal which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real, they are bruised and wounded.--Maugham "In the light of the falling star, Do not cast your eyes afar: Brilliant light, Fading sight- Soon all is back to night."--Asara "The winds of time, Blow sand, so fine, Across my face- To Hide my Disgrace."--Asara "Laziness is a disease." Coach Vaughan "Just shoot it and see what the DNR says."--Andrew T. Moulton
