"Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth - more than ruin - more even than death... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man." - Bertrand Russell "Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly." - Langston Hughes "Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake." - W.C. Fields "We go lightheartedly on our way, never thinking that by a careless word or two we may have altered the whole course of human lives, for some person will take our advice and use it." - Laura Ingalls Wilder |

“Those who are horsemen know the exhilaration of riding, the marvelous animal, its strength, its pacings, its speed, its responsiveness, how one seems augmented by its power, how one can feel it, and its breathing, the movements of its body, sensing even the blows of its hoofs in the turf. “ ~Renegades of Gor, pages 137 & 138~ |
