    Henry David Thoreau
    “I do believe in simplicity. It is astonishing as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit.

So simplify the problem of life, distinguish the necessary and the real. Probe the earth to see where your main roots run. ”

    “It's so hard to believe in anything anymore. I mean, it's like, religion, you really can't take it seriously, because it seems so mythological, it seems so arbitrary...but, on the other hand, science is just pure empiricism, and by virtue of its method, it excludes metaphysics. I guess I wouldn't believe in anything anymore if it weren't for my lucky astrology mood watch.”

    “Losing It

    Some days I think
    I'm losing my mind.
    What seems so
    clear
    most of the time
    becomes a big question mark.
    Am I really
    the way
    I percieve myself, or
    is the person others see
    the truth of me? I wait
    for
    answers, but inside
    I know I have to go out
    and find them. And
    answers
    like knowledge, are
    not always where we
    first look for them.”
    Ellen Hopkins
