Joan D. ChittisterA part of my appreciation for the good which moments bring has come from awareness and recognition. But it has also come from a correspnding sadness which arises from their passing.

Herman MelvilleYou have to realize that for some of these people - definitely me when I was growing up - you treat every day like it's your last, because that's the reality of your situation.

I prefer to shop where people understand me and the music- the music i like.
