TIME IS THE GREAT GIFT;
SEX IS THE GREAT EQUALIZER;
LOVE IS THE GREAT MISTERY.

John Jennings
(celotni naslov albuma Mary Chapin Carpenter, Time* Sex* Love*)

Nice people don't start arguments.
Nice people don't complain when they're presented with unsatisfactory situations.
Nice people don't come out fighting when they are backed into a corner.

If all this is true, there clearly must be times when we have to stop trying so hard to be nice people.

Aren't you now, being just a little too nice about a situation
that warrants more of an objection or even, dare I suggest it, an outright rejection on your part?
It's probably time to think about turning nasty -
- for at least as long as it takes to remove an unnecessarily unpleasant factor from your life.

Carmen Mariano, educator and writer

Eni ljudje se sprehajajo po dežju,
drugi pa se samo zmočijo.

Kjer je ljubezen, je nered.
Popoln red bi spremenil svet v pokopališče.

Ours is a society that has perfected its means yet neglected its meaning.

Albert Einstein
