Lots of folks here use quotes from famous men and women often outside of the quotee's field of expertise.

An expert on aerodynamics, social reform or physics, may or may not be any more qualified than the next person to making sweeping statements on the nature of reality.

While I understand the sharing of possible tidbits of wisdom and wit; all too often this appointing of others as authorities on the mystery of life is merely another form of giving power away.

I am trying to protect you from self-importance so I never mentioned the time I sprayed soda through my nose on the monitor after one of your guffaw-inducing observations.

"For the unwise man 'tis best to be mute
when he come amid the crowd,
for none is aware of his lack of wit
if he wastes not too many words"


--------------------
"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you

Usually, I try to give more emphasis to the quote itself than who said it. I think wisdom can speak for itself.
