Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

Morality which is based on ideas, or on an ideal, is an unmitigated evil. 

                                                                    --D.H. Lawrence,

Society is like a stew.
If you don't keep it stirred up, you get a lot of scum on top. 

                                     - Edward Abbey

"If you keep your mind sufficiently open, people will throw a lot of 
rubbish into it."

                                        - William A. Orton
