“Give me Nebraska. Your army will fence it in. If anyone tries to leave, they will be shot—no exceptions. I will have the electrical grid shut off. I will blight the fields to create mass starvation. I will keep fires burning, so the sky remains black with soot and the sun is never seen. I will ask for ninety-nine virgins a year and I will insist their deaths be broadcast on national TV in prime time. We will have our own Major League Baseball team, but they will only play home games, and at the end of every match the losing pitcher will be beheaded on the mound. I will poison the waters with my tears and allow only two beverages to the citizenry: Diet Dr Pepper and Schlitz.”
― Joe Hill, King Sorrow

“The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful. And being generous. Everything else is crap! I promise you! It's just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So don't buy it. Be smart, be thoughtful, and be generous.”
― Ashton Kutcher

“There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive.
This ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living, comes to the artist, caught up and out of himself in a sheet of flame; it comes to the soldier, war-mad in a stricken field and refusing quarter; and it came to Buck, leading the pack, sounding the old wolf-cry, straining after the food that was alive and that fled swiftly before him through the moonlight.”
― Jack London, The Call of the Wild
