24 September 2008 - 23:54A couple of quotes.

Here are a couple of quotes I’ve read recently and really liked:

“I imagine that one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, that they will be forced to deal with pain.” -James Baldwin

Making another problem in order to divert attention from looking inward and improving is a scary thought to me.

“Did you know that every time a guy comes he comes 200 million sperm? Two-hundred MILLION sperm. And you mean to tell me you think your child is special? Because one out of 200 million sperm…connected? Gee, what are the fuckin’ odds? You know what that means? I have wiped entire civilizations off of my chest with a gray gym sock. THAT is special.” -Bill Hicks

Even if all kids are special, when do they go from being special kids to mediocre adults?
