PHILOSOPHY

"Love all, trust few, do wrong to no one." - Shakespeare

"That's what it's all about. Doors and sardines. Getting on - getting off. Getting the sardines on -- getting the sardines off. That's farce. That's the theater. That's life." -Noises Off, M. Frayn

"Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass." ~Chekov

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets. ~Arthur Miller

"Believing there's no God means I can't really be forgiven except by kindness and faulty memories." - Penn Jillette
