Five quotes

August 24, 2006

I came across this meme over at kottke.org.

You go to this website and look through random quotes until you find five that you think reflect who you are or what you believe. Here are mine:

  • "The universal brotherhood of man is our most precious possession." (Mark Twain)
  • "When you give each other everything, it becomes an even trade. Each wins all." (Lois McMaster Bujold, A Civil Campaign, 1999)
  • "Therefore search and see if there is not some place where you may invest your humanity." (Albert Schweitzer)
  • "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good." (Samuel Johnson)
  • "To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting." (e e cummings)

    I have also listened to Continuum several times and I agree it is his best album yet.
    I want to learn all the songs before the concert ;) teehee…I’ll think of you.
