'I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge - myth is more potent than history - dreams are more powerful than facts - hope always triumphs over experience - laughter is the cure for grief - love is stronger than death' --Robert Fulgham
'If we ever get separated, just whistle. I'll come running. I promise.'

Words to live by
Mahatma Gandhi said: 'Be the change you want to see in the world.'
'Mother Erin'
Two divine persons in one. A mother lamenting her children in bondage. A girl ravished by the Saxon, who weeps over her stringless harp. But her young champions keep watch in the mountains, awaiting the dawn of the bright sun of Freedom. They will gather around her with pikes and swords.
--James Plunkett
STRUMPET CITY
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.
--W B Yeats
from 'The Stolen Child'
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
--William Butler Yeats

"It is surely true that, as Nietzsche observed,'without a constant falsification of life...man could not live.'
Our perception of the world rests on a dense trellis of falsehoods that make it possible for us to get out of bed in the morning and face the day."
--Joseph O' Neill
from the review of 'The Informer'

'Everyone...has lost something precious. The people and the friends that we have lost, or the dreams that have faded...Never forget them.'
