Henry David Thoreau 1803-1852 ~ Ian Dury 1942-2000 (and The Blockheads) Hit Me With Your Rythm Stick

If a man doesnot keep pace with his companions,
perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away.

Unknown ?-? ~ Justin Rutledge 1978- ...The Suffering Of Pepe O'Malley (Part III)

If we could resurrect the dead; what could we offer
that Life itself had not already offered, and continues

Galileo 1564-1642 & Victor Hugo 1802-1885 (seance conversation) ~ Robert Lam 1944 ...Does Anbody Really Know What Time It Is? ~ Chicago

You know what I would do if I were in your place?
I'd drink from the milk basin of the Milky Way; I'd swallow comets;
I'd lunch on dawn; I'd dine on day and I'd sup on night;
I'd invite myself, splendid table-companion that I am,
to the banquet of all the glories, and I'd salute God as my host!
I'd work up a magnificent hunger, an enormous thirst, and I'd race
through the drunken spaces between the spheres singing the
fearsome drinking song of eternity.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803-1882 ~ Arthur Reynolds ?- ... Jesus Is Just Alright ~ The Doobie Brothers

The secret of culture is to learn that a few great points steadily reappear,
alike in the poverty of the obscurest farm and in the miscellany of
metropolitan life, and that these few are alone to be regarded -
the escape from all false ties; courage to be what we are, and love of
what is simple and beautiful; independence and cheerful relation, these are the essentials -
these, and the wish to serve, to add somewhat to the well-being of men.

Euripides 480-406 BC ~ Elton John 1947- & Bernie Taupin 1950...Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding

I have found power in the mysteries of thought,
exaltation in the chanting of the Muses; I have been
versed in the reasonings of men; but Fate is stronger
than anything I have known.
