I enjoy reading quotes, especially about/from music. I've always
wanted to keep
a collection of quotes somewhere and there is not better place than the Internet.
This page will also contain various images I've created with
Photoshop, and really anything that
I don't know where else to put it. So, enjoy.

"I
hope for you and cannot stop at hoping
Until that smile has returned to your face
There's no such as a failure who keeps trying
Coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace.
Just wait...just wait....just wait...
And it will come."
-Blues Traveler, "Just Wait'
"...'Cause
it's a great big world calling you to take a ride
And it's a great big world singing come and see and come inside
Oh yeah, a great big world reminding you you're not alone
So hold on to this great big world we only get to rent we never get to own..."
-Blues Traveler, "Great Big World"
"While I (Bill Sinkford, President of the Unitarian Universalist Association) was in Japan, I took a day to visit the Hiroshima Peace Park, the memorial to the 250,000 Japanese who were killed when we dropped a weapon of mass destruction on that city.
And at a wonderful dinner at the Tsubaki Grand Shrine after our ritual Misogi cleansing, I finally found the question I needed to ask our Japanese hosts.
“How could you possibly have forgiven us for our use of the atomic bomb?”
A member of the Grand Shrine Board, a retired nuclear physicist named Mr. Feruda, responded.
“First, thank you for asking the question. No one has ever asked us that before.”
After thinking for a moment, he said: “Despite the horrific death toll and the devastation, we actually have come to see our loss as a blessing.
“You see, if we had not lost that war, the military government would probably still be in power and we would still be out colonizing and appropriating resources to fuel our industrial machine.
“If we had not lost, the attitude of arrogance that was a part of Japanese life during those times would still be with us, the belief that because we had the might, we had the right to do as we willed.
“You see, if we had not lost… we would have become you. We would have become you and it would have crippled the soul of our nation.
