Relationships--of all kinds--are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.

| "I am poor and naked, but I am the chief of the nation. We do not want riches but we do want to train our children right. Riches would do us no good. We could not take them with us to the other world. We do not want riches. We want peace and love." Red Cloud |

"I love this land and the buffalo and will not part with it. I want you to understand well what I say. Write it on paper...I hear a great deal of good talk from the gentlemen the Great Father sends us, but they never do what they say. I don't want any of the medicine lodges (schools and churches) within the country. I want the children raised as I was. I have heard you intend to settle us on a reservation near the mountains. I don't want to settle. I love to roam over the prairies. There I feel free and happy, but when we settle down we grow pale and die. A long time ago this land belonged to our fathers, but when I go up to the river I see camps of soldiers on its banks. These soldiers cut down my timber, they kill my buffalo and when I see that, my heart feels like bursting."

If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?

A man is only as old as the woman he feels.
--Groucho Marx
I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.
--Groucho Marx
I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.
--Groucho Marx
Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
--Groucho Marx |

Nietzsche, from Der Wanderer und sein Schatten:
Tod. - Durch die sichere Aussicht auf den Tod könnte jedem Leben ein köstlicher, wohlriechender Tropfen von Leichtsinn beigemischt sein - und nun habt ihr wunderlichen Apotheker-Seelen aus ihm einen übelschmeckenden Gift-Tropfen gemacht, durch den das ganze Leben widerlich wird!
Für die "Wahrheit" sterben. - Wir würden uns für unsere Meinungen nicht verbrennen lassen: wir sind ihrer nicht so sicher. Aber vielleicht dafür, daß wir unsere Meinungen haben dürfen und ändern dürfen.
Hard to translate. The first is on death being the ultimate motivator, the second that we should not die for our truths, but perhaps the right to have and change an opinion.
Mr U
