'Crazy' is a term of art; 'Insane' is a term of law. Remember that, and you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
(Hunter S Thompson)
In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.

Some depressing but relevant quote for today:
“Of pain you could wish only one thing: that it should stop. Nothing in the world was so bad as physical pain. In the face of pain there are no heroes.”
-George Orwell
Not exactly uplifting but struck me as truth ….
“If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.”
•George Orwell
For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.
- Cynthia Occelli
Being human
is not hard because
you're doing it wrong.
It’s hard because
you're doing it right.
-Glennon Doyle

“People say there are no atheists in foxholes. A lot of people think this is a good argument against atheism. Personally, I think it’s a much better argument against foxholes.”
'Welcome aboard, Mr. Pilgrim, said the loudspeaker. 'Any questions?' Billy licked his lips, thought a while, inquired at last: 'Why me?'
That is a very Earthling question to ask, Mr. Pilgrim. Why you? Why us for that matter? Why anything? Because this moment simply is. Have you ever seen bugs trapped in amber?'
'Well, here we are, Mr. Pilgrim, trapped in the amber of this moment. There is no why.'
Good morning,
It’s cloudy and hot outside. I hurt my neck getting out of bed. BUT y’all, if this place *gestures vaguely in the direction of CoSo* isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.
A thought on the topic of offending others:
“If people are determined to be offended - if they will climb up on the ladder, balancing it precariously on their own toilet cistern to be upset by what they see through the neighbour's bathroom window - there is nothing you can do about that…
Those who are determined to be offended will discover a provocation somewhere.
We cannot possibly adjust enough to please the fanatics and it is degrading to make the attempt.”
- Christopher Hitchens

“My epitaph in any case?
‘Everything was beautiful. Nothing hurt.’
I will have gotten off so light, whatever the heck it is that was going on.”
- KV
Be soft.
Do not let the world make you
hard.
Do not let the pain make you hate.
Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.
Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you
still believe it to be a beautiful place.
