He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." -Albert Einstein “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!” ― Hunter S. Thompson "Pain is an honest fact of life. You are not responsible for your pain. It often comes to us whether we want it or not. However: you are responsible for your suffering." “To see the difference between pain and suffering, bring a puppy to a cancer ward. You will see many people in pain, but no suffering.” -Spirit Science, Barking Unicorn “Sex without love is as hollow and ridiculous as love without sex.” ― Hunter S.
