"They've got a new image. They've got everything that they're moving into in a different way - whole new process - but what they've got to be careful of is they don't lead the way on the track, that they're leaving behind technology and performance where they really are frustration there, because Button and Barrichello, they're scratching their heads already at the first race and that's not what they want."
-Mark Blundell, a couple of weeks ago

He claims he only suffered a broken ankle in that massive CART crash in 1996, but I'm not prepared to rule out brain damage.

“Don't let your dreams be dreams.”

“If it seems like you are playing around and not practicing, that's when you know you really love it.”

“The possession of muscular strength and the courage to use it in contests with other men for physical supremacy does not necessarily imply a lack of appreciation for the finer and better things of life.”

Jack Handey
If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let'em go,
because, man, they're gone.
If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them
down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.
Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo,
flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a
beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful
painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk.
If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think
it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to
teach him to do some tricks. But only if you're serious about adopting
the vulture.

my sensei and SRD had a similar thought; it is not an exact quote but the thought remains the same.

"do not hurt where holding is enough,
do not wound where hurting is enough,
do not maim where wounding is enough,
do not kill where maiming is enough,
the greatest warrior of all is one who does not need to kill." - stephen r. donaldson/ sensei barry geeck

that and,

Perhaps verbosity hopes to compensate for ignorance of what one does not understand.

"All we have is to decide what to do with the time that is given to us. " — J.R.R. Tolkien

"For one human being to love another human being: that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been given to us, the ultimate, the final problem and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparation." — Rainer Maria Rilke

"Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star..." — ee cummings

"Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home." — Anna Quindlen

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them. " — Mother Teresa

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?
