Life is a poem most people never read.

Those who refuse to look at or give expression to the dark side of life are in denial-fear preventing passage through the door of growth, truth and, ultimately, wisdom.

Live with an open mind and an open heart. Always choose love over fear and kindness over cruelty.

There are some who dream their lives away, but end up doing nothing, and others who do their lives away, and end up never dreaming.

Apathy is the slow poison coursing through the body politic that paves the way to tyranny.

Life is inherently disturbing. That's why we've created the myths-to help us overcome, defend or deny, to transcend the grim reality of what here seems to be.

There is no nobler profession, nor no greater calling, than to be among those unheralded many who gave and give their lives to the preservation of human knowledge, passed with commitment and care from one generation to the next.
