Mitch Hedberg

Bryan  Davis
“Assumptions are unopened windows that foolish birds fly into, and their broken bodies are evidence gathered too late.”
Bryan Davis, Liberator

Surya Das
“Breath by breath, let go of fear, expectation, anger, regret, cravings, frustration, fatigue. Let go of the need for approval. Let go of old judgments and opinions. Die to all that, and fly free. Soar in the freedom of desirelessness.

Let go. Let Be. See through everything and be free, complete, luminous, at home -- at ease.”
Lama Surya Das, Awakening the Buddha Within: Tibetan Wisdom for the Western World

Charlotte Brontë
“Spring drew on...and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that Hope traversed them at night, and left each morning brighter traces of her steps.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Alan Alda
“Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.”
Alan Alda
