― Groucho Marx

“Good Lord!" he said, almost aloud, "in one whole year what have I done? I haven't made one single friend, known what one real man was doing or thinking, done anything I wanted to do, talked out what I wanted to talk, read what I wanted to read, or had time to make the friends I wanted to make. I've been nothing but material— varsity material— society material; I've lost all the imagination I had, and know less than when I came; and I'm the popular man—' the big man'— in the class! Great! Is it my fault or the fault of things up here?”
― Owen Johnson, Stover at Yale

“I still don’t believe God counts up prayers, but I have come to better understand that prayers aren’t so much something directed at God, but rather, at each other. Sure, we can ask God to intervene, but then we’d just be on the sidelines waiting for God to act. We were not put on this earth for the purpose of being observers on the sidelines. We cannot expect all good to flow from God. We have to be participants and interveners.”
― Tom Mauser, Walking In Daniel's Shoes

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde
