George CarlinIn the Muslim world, this notion that somehow everything is the fault of the Israelis lacks balance - because there's two sides to every question.

But one true thing among all these paths is the need to tap a deep vein of connection between our own uncontrollable interior preoccupations and what we're most concerned about in the world around us.

Alice SteinbachIt seemed to me at an early age that all human communication - whether it's TV, movies, or books - begins with somebody wanting to tell a story.

Dwight D. EisenhowerFear begins and ends with the desire to be secure; inward and outward security, with the desire to be certain, to have permanency. The continuity of permanence is sought in every direction, in virtue, in relationship, in action, in experience, in knowledge, in outward and inward things. To find security and be secure is the everlasting cry. It is this insistent demand that breeds fear.

Robert BlairBut when you're in front of an audience and you make them laugh at a new idea, you're guiding the whole being for the moment. No one is ever more him/herself than when they really laugh.

That's when new ideas can be implanted. If a new idea slips in at that moment, it has a chance to grow.

All of us have our reasons, innumerable, personal and complex. From many points of view a climb is a challenge we must meet.
