"What I fear the most, I think,is the death of the imagination...If I sit down and don't do anything, the world goes on beating like a slack drum, without any meaning. We must be moving, working, making dreams to run toward;The poverty of life without dreams is too horrible to imagine." -SYLVIA PLATH, from NOTEBOOKS, February 1956 "A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions." -OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES "Civilization is a conspiracy.Modern life is the silent compact of comfortable folk to keep up pretences." -JOHN BUCHAN "If you can think of it, it probably exists, and can exist." -UNKNOWN "Why is it when we talk to God we're said to be praying, but when God is talking to us,we're schizophrenic?" -LILY TOMLIN "I can't kill myself right so I may as well learn how to live right." -AMI DAWN GOTTFRIED(NOCTURNAL9NYMPH)
