Could it be that this house is haunted?I’m face to face with shapeless shadow,Though I stand alone.Could it be that there’s a presenceInside this house,Besides my own?The garden fades from green to grey,The fading focus of Goodbye.I let out a sigh.I swallow the urge to cry.Out of this house and onto the street…Vacant, empty spaces in the faces I meet.Anywhere on earth, Any time of day,The echoed sound of all I say,Of all I hear and in all I see…Shadows,Phantom faces,Not haunting places. Haunting ME.
Beep beep? Must be Earth humor.. Londo

Many people consider the things which government does for them to be social progress, but they consider the things government does for others as socialism
I’ve lectured at the Harvard Business School several times.
America is an outstandingly dangerous place. Consider this: every year in New Hampshire a dozen or more people are killed crashing their cars into moose. Now correct me if I am wrong, but this is not something that is likely to happen to you on the way home from Sainsbury’s.
There is nowhere morning does not go.
When you’re singing you can hear the echo of people in the audience singing every single word with you, and that was that big dream that I had for myself. It’s happening.
Mother Nature clearly intended for us to get our food from the patty group, which includes hamburgers, fish sticks, and McNuggets- foods that have had all of their organs safely removed.
The worst disease which can afflict business executives in their work is not, as popularly supposed, alcoholism; it’s egotism.
Whatever government is not a government of laws, is a despotism, let it be called what it may
The city will gain beauty worthy of its name and to you it will be useful by its revenues, and the eternal fame of its aggrandizement.
Yesterday I parked my car in a towaway zone… When I cameback the entire area was missing.

Woman once made equal to man becomes his superior
People have a hard time accepting free-market economics for the same reason they have a hard time accepting evolution: it is counterintuitive. Life looks intelligently designed, so our natural inclination is to infer that there must be an intelligent designer–a God. Similarly, the economy looks designed, so our natural inclination is to infer that we need a designer–a government. In fact, emergence and complexity theory explains how the principles of self-organization and emergence cause complex systems to arise from simple systems without a top-down designer.
What is Truth? Truth is something so noble that if God could turn aside from it, I would keep the Truth and turn aside from God

Sherman Reilly Duffy of the pre-World War I CHICAGO DAILY JOURNAL once told a cub reporter, ‘Socially, a journalist fits in somewhere between a whore and a bartender. But spiritually he stands beside Galileo. He knows the world is round.’ Well, socially I fit in just fine between the whore and the bartender. Both are close friends. And I knew the world was round. Yet, as time went by I found myself confronted with the ugly suspicion that the world was, after all, flat and that there were things dark and terrible waiting just over the edge to reach out and snatch life from the unlucky, unwary wanderer.
Wisely used history can give pleasure and provide us with a useful tool; but we should not become its slaves.
