So may things fail to interest us, simply because they don't find in us enough surfaces on which to live, and what we have to do is to increase the number of planes in our mind, so that a much larger number of themes can find a plane in it at the same time.
~Ortega y Gasset
Whenever we refuse to be knocked off our feet (either violently or gently) by some telling new conception precipitated from the depths of our imagination by the impact of an ageless symbol, we are cheating ourselves of the fruit of an encounter with the wisdom of the millenniums.
~Heinrich Zimmer

Um...I really like the dancing dirty fucking hippie chick. She's, erm...as uplifting as the quotations. :-)
NTodd,
We sooooo need to find you a girlfriend. What is WRONG with all those Vermont women? Of course, you do have to go out and meet them before they can fall head over heels for you!
Todd needs a long weekend at Four Quarters Farm.
