"I made a big decision a little while ago.
I don’t remember what it was, which prob’ly goes to show
That many times a simple choice can prove to be essential
Even though it often might appear inconsequential.
I must have been distracted when I left my home because
Left or right I’m sure I went. (I wonder which it was!)
Anyway, I never veered: I walked in that direction
Utterly absorbed, it seems, in quiet introspection.
For no reason I can think of, I’ve wondered far astray.
And that is how I got to where I find myself today."

- Calvin

"At night my mind does not much care
If what it thinks is here or there.

The real world seems quite weird enough."

- Calvin

"My mother has eyes on the back of her head!

I’ve noticed her hindsight is unusually clear."

- Calvin

day putting his ass on the line. And I'm not out of order.
You're out of order! The hole freakin' system is out of order!
You want the truth? You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!
Cause when you reach over and put your hand into a pile of goo
that was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do!
Forget it Marge! It's Chinatown!"

Life’s but a walking shadow, A poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

- Shakespeare's MACBETH

Taste of it and be not afraid, for I am with you to the end of time. .. Taste of it. .. And so it begins."

- Unknown

"There is a wordless song that is the ocean's endless cry. It is a sob that billows out, crescendos, falls away. It is a moan. It is a cry of ecstasy, and of life in crystalline purity, and bloated death in crimson brine. It is a song that mutters in the bubbles on the sand, hisses in the wave-tossed gravel, roars in the mad tumble of white foam. Do you hear? Listen closer then friend. Your ears have trained to hear only the voices of men, and the thoughts of men, and the will of men. Listen. Oh so faintly, do you perceive the thin strains of a melody? It is that fragile web of the ocean's harmony. It is the song of sirens singing from the depths. They whisper from
the waves. They are the whisper of the waves."

- Unknown
