We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.

I had to include this...
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. |

"Here I stand, atoms with consciousness, matter with curiosity. A universe of atoms, an atom in the universe.
R P Feynman
I like that "
Lots of great Feynman quotes, here’s another:

"I am going to be courageous because that is all that is left to be.
This is my "hail mary," it is my "going down swinging."
This is my last dance or big comeback, I can't tell.
It's pretty amazing to me how many people speak with such certainty of their lives, of the world when I have none.
I have no certainty. Only courage. Courage to go on against unknowns, against the odds, against my self.
I will be brave because there is nothing left to be.
And here goes... everything I have..."

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love. ~Marcus Aurelius
I feel most serving and ex serving military operatives would relate to that.

“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”

We know all men are not created equal in the sense some people would have us believe- some people are smarter than others, some people have more opportunity because they're born with it, some men make more money than others, some ladies make better cakes than others- some people are born gifted beyond the normal scope of men.
But there is one way in this country in which all men are created equal- there is one human institution that makes a pauper the equal of a Rockefeller, the stupid man the equal of an Einstein, and the ignorant man the equal of any college president. That institution, gentlemen, is a court.

Washing a car, is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. You've got to caress the bodywork. Breathe softly and gently. And give every inch of it your loving attention. And make sure you've got a nice wet sponge.

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
Oscar Wilde"
"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.”
Another Wilde quote I love, that and being in the gutter and seeing the stars |

A fool speaks because he has to say something.

Four quotes from my favourite book, the name of the wind
'We are more than the parts that form us'
'to ash all things return, so too this flesh will burn'
'There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man'
And the last long one which is lovely
'It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect'
