"Life as an art form is a graceful union between the natural world and the creative life."
-- paraphrased from Asheville NC's The Laurel

"In a contest [chess] of identical armies, the only weapon is thought.... The king is a baby. And the endgame is swift."
-- Jerry Useem in The Power of One, Fortune magazine, 12/10/07

When logic and proportion/ Have fallen sloppy dead,/ And the White Knight is talking backwards/ And the Red Queen's 'off with her head!'/ Remember what the dormouse said:/ 'Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head.'"
-- White Rabbit by Grace Slick from the album Surrealistic Pillow recorded by Jefferson Airplane (later Jefferson Starship)

"Bills that haven't been printed yet/ You can have them by the sack/ Coins that haven't been minted yet/ That you never have to give back/ Money, money, money, money, money, money/ Uncle Sam puts it right on the line...."
