There is nothing you must say and no one you must see.
There is nothing you must do and nowhere you must go.
That is the wonderful, terrible truth of life.

- Tom Veitch

I study philosophy. I've read dozens of books of countless philosophers but it's Star Wars comic book author Tom Veitch that owns them all through the character of Jedi Master Thon. B)

The Force takes care of the universe. There is no need to struggle with life. There is no chance to escape your destiny. If I die this instant, it will be alright. If I don't die this instant... well, then let's see what can be made of this lifetime! :)

This is one of my most memorable:

"Goodness without knowledge is weak and feeble, and knowledge without goodness is dangerous, yet both united form the noblest character and lay the surest foundation of usefulness to mankind.


- John Phillips (the teacher)

Kalkho wrote: "Do not be afraid."

-Buddha and Jesus

Both of these enlightened people have dealt with fear, especially the most common one: the fear d death. Buddha achieved Nirvana and Jesus came back from the dead, but it was before that that they told their disciples to stop their constant fear of what's to come. Nothing soothes me quite like those words.


"You will be"

-Yoda

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

I have a book with this title (I'm not sure where it is at the moment). I don't remember who wrote it, but it's out there. Not a bad book, actually.

The circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant, it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are --Mew Two

I feel a little silly saying that, but when i was a little child, that one line had a very profound affect on me, actually, its all i remember from the first Pokemon Movie. I have lived that way my whole life ever since hearing him say that.
