The mind is its own place, and in itself / Can make a heaven of hell, a hell
of heaven. - John Milton

Oh hell, how exactly do I follow something as profound as that....

Perhaps one of my favorite quotes of Shakespeare

"Men die from time to time... and worms eat them -- but not for love"

Since I am going to go imbibe large quantities of alcohol with several attractive women, one (or more depending on my luck) of which I intend to be sleeping with shortly there after, I am not feeling much like drawing out my thoughts, so perhaps I will just relate some of my favorite quotes.

"I never let my schooling interfere with my education" - Samuel Clemens - I know how trite, but as I am a high school dropout unlike all of you college educated folks it seems personally very relevant.

He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever. -Chinese proverb

I wish I were either rich enough or poor enough to do a lot of things that are impossible in my present comfortable circumstances. -Don Herold

Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinctions. No dignity, no learning, no force of character, can make any stand against good wit. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is criminal to steal a purse,
daring to steal a fortune,
a mark of greatness to steal a crown.
The blame diminishes as the guilt increases.
-Johan Christoph Friedrich von Schiller


And finally one of my favorite anecdotes.(which I will slaughter since it has been to long since I read it)

When at a dinner party, a certain lady said to Winston Churchill...

"Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your nightly drink"

To which he replied with a smile...

"and if you were my wife, I would drink it"
