"Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.", by Heraclitus.

"Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.", by Albert Camus :grin::grin:
"I would like, with the sun shining through the window on a crisp early-autumnal mid-morning, with a sufficiency of Monster Cappucino flowing in my veins to prompt minimal sentience, to declare my view for the record that Drummer Jokes are a cruel and pernicious form of humour introduced to the world by under-humoured persons lacking in sensitivity and concern for other drummers.", by Robert Fripp.
"Conformity is jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.", by John F. Kennedy (1917-1963).
This quote relates directly to the novel Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. According to this statement, when a person is told how to live their own lives they often forget to make their own decisions, and they are no longer their own person. Conformity is following all commands and laws regardless of one's own beliefs. In the story, Guy Montag followed the rules set forth by the government, never second-guessing them. He never once thought of what these regulations really meant, or what the effects of his actions were. He never really experienced freedom. This quote expresses the changes that he made in his life.
The book Fahrenheit 451, set in the future, shows rules that the world today would think of as "outrageous laws". The most apparent law shown in the novel is that citizens of the country are unauthorized to own any type of book, or medium that expresse...

I was curious to see which Courtney Love was going to show up: the smeared-lipstick-crazy-coke-Where or the violent-smeared-lipstick-crazy-coke-Where.
