  • "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance." Confucius

February 8th

  • "Out of respect for things that I was never destined to do, I have learned that  my strengths are a result of my weaknesses, my success is due to my failures and my style is directly related to my limitations." Billy Joel

February 1st

  • "Rest not! Life is sweeping by; go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time. Goethe

January 25th

  • "I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking. I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail. William Faulkner

January 18th

  • "I must walk toward Oregon, and not toward Europe. And that way the nation is moving, and I may say that mankind progress from east to west....We go eastward to realize history and study the works of art and literature, retracing the steps of the race; we go westward as into the future...." Henry David Thoreau

  • "So long as there shall exist, by reason of law and custom, a social condemnation, which, in the face of civilization, artificially creates hells on earth, and complicates a destiny that is divine, with human fatality; so long as the three problems of the age—the degradation of man by poverty, the ruin of woman by starvation, and the dwarfing of childhood by physical and spiritual night—are not solved; as long as, in certain regions, social asphyxia shall be possible; in other words, and from a yet more extended point of view, so long as ignorance and misery remain on earth, books like this cannot be useless." Victor Hugo
