"You start trippin' And I start slippin' away I was taught to zip it If I've got nothin' nice to say And down in the Texas of my heart Drivin' a really big truck Headed down a dirt road My love is scrunchin' up its features The really big eyes Big lips Big nose Just show me a moment that is mine Its beauty blinding and unsurpassed Make me forget every moment that went by And left me so half-hearted 'Cuz I felt it so half-assed... I just wanna tune out all the billboards Weld myself a mental shield I just wanna put down all the pressures And feel how I really feel... Spring is Super In the Supermarkets And the strawberries prance and glow Nevermind that they're all kinda Tart and tasteless as Strawberries go Meanwhile wild things are not for sale Anymore than they are for show So I'll be outside in love with the kind of beauty It takes more than eyes to know..." -A. DiFranco

"If there is love, there is hope that one may have real families, real brotherhood, real equanimity, real peace. If the love within your mind is lost and you see other beings as enemies, then no matter how much knowledge or education or material comfort you have, only suffering and confusion will ensue. Human beings will continue to deceive and overpower one another. Basically, everyone exists in a state of suffering, so to abuse or mistreat each other is futile. The foundation of all spiritual practice is love. That you practice this well is my only request." --His Holiness the Dalai Lama

"Children are not the people of tomorrow, but people today. They are entitled to be taken seriously. They have a right to be treated by adults with tenderness and respect, as equals."

"Children love laughter, movement, playing tricks. Teacher, if life is a graveyard to you, leave the children free to see it as a pasture." - Janusz Korczak.
