My aim is not to inform, it is to share.
My hope is that you will share, too.
Only when we share can we ever come close to understanding.
What separates pretension from sincerity?
One should not be afraid to try both on, see how they feel.
Let us not worry about what parents and friends might think.
They are a reminder of our boundaries, and not our limitlessness.

The world will laugh when you say you do not care about money.
"Just wait," it says. "One day, you will see."
The tragedy of the world is that if you do not submit yourself to it, it will try to pound you into submission.

"Don't be romantic," it says. "Defeat is worse than you think."

"Where does an animal sleep when the ground is wet?
Cows in the barnyard, Chickens in the farmer's corvette.
Sometimes a pony, Sometimes a pony, Sometimes a pony gets depressed." --- Silver Jews
Where does that last quote come from? Yeah, I always said I didn't care about money when I was younger. But eventually life is just too much of a struggle without it, every day becomes a struggle to get enough money to eat, pay the car insurance, take care of basic necessities. I don't think one has to pursue having tons of money, but it is nice enough to have enough to cover the day to day requirements of living. Just depends on each person what those requirements are...
